Kasımpaşa 1:1 Trabzonspor: Match Result

Kasımpaşa played out a 1:1 draw with Trabzonspor in the opening round of the Süper Lig at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium on Friday evening. Noah Saviolo gave the visitors a half-time lead before Adrian Benedyczak's penalty levelled matters. By then the visitors had dominated possession, but Kasımpaşa earned a point that keeps them level on points with a side sitting higher in the table. Saviolo finished a move just before the interval to put Trabzonspor ahead. The striker was taken off on the hour mark alongside Aral Şimşir in a double substitution. Kasımpaşa responded from the spot at the 55-minute mark, Benedyczak converting to cancel out the deficit. The visitors controlled the tempo with 60 per cent of the ball. Their attack count reached 131 compared to Kasımpaşa's 79, and they completed 420 passes against 332. Yet Kasımpaşa registered a higher expected goals figure of 1.86 to 0.85, suggesting they created better chances despite the lower volume. Shots tell a similar story. Trabzonspor fired ten attempts, five on target, while Kasımpaşa produced eight with four hitting the frame. The hosts' shooting accuracy of 44 per cent outpaced the visitors' 38, and they earned a penalty when the game needed it most. Kasımpaşa remain eighth after four matches with one win and three draws, six points in the bank. Trabzonspor sit fourth with seven points from two victories, a draw and a defeat. The result leaves both sides in the top half, though the gap between them is narrow enough that the table goes out of the window in these games. A couple of bookings broke up the flow: Baldursson for Kasımpaşa at the ten-minute mark and Ben Ouanes later in the second half. Kasımpaşa made seven changes across the ninety minutes, including a double substitution on the hour and Benedyczak himself being replaced at the final whistle. Trabzonspor's recent form has been mixed, and this point extends a run that includes heavy defeats in pre-season friendlies.
