Kechirerengüçü put four past Pendikspor at Aktepe Stadium on Saturday afternoon, a result that leaves the hosts sitting eighth in the 1. Lig table with eight points from five games. The final whistle brought relief rather than surprise — by then the visitors had already shown they could not contain the opening storm.
Süleyman Luş opened the scoring in the fifteenth minute, a simple finish that caught Pendikspor still settling into their shape. To be fair, the away side had possession but lacked direction, and that first goal came before any real structure could emerge. Mame Biram Diouf doubled the advantage just before half-time, running onto a loose ball in the penalty area.
Görkem Bitin made it three in the thirty-ninth minute, finishing from close range after a quick break. The visitors had already lost Mallik Wilks for a substitution in the forty-sixth minute, and the momentum had shifted decisively. Kechirerengüçü controlled the tempo, refusing to let Pendikspor breathe behind their own penalty area.
Halil Can Ayan added a fourth in the seventieth minute, a clinical strike that ended any remaining doubt. Ishak Karaoğul's late goal in the eighty-second minute was more about sentiment than substance, but it confirmed the visitors' afternoon had been comprehensively dismantled.
And here's the thing — the statistics tell a different story than the result suggests. Pendikspor enjoyed sixty per cent possession and completed 404 passes compared to Kechirerengüçü's 259, yet only four shots found the target against five. The away side registered 84 attacks with 15 shots, but the accuracy rate of twenty-two per cent meant most efforts drifted wide or were blocked.
Kechirerengüçü's efficiency was the difference. Five shots on target from five attempts, against Pendikspor's four on target from fifteen attempts. The visitors had six corners to two, but corners do not score goals when the opposition sits deep and absorbs pressure effectively.
The result moves Kechirerengüçü further clear of the relegation zone, while Pendikspor drop to thirteenth with five points from five matches. The hosts come off a 3-4 defeat to Antalyaspor last time out, but this performance carried a solidity that previous results lacked.
