Decisive figure puts Caykur Rizespor in control against Eyüpspor with first half penalty | OneFootball

Qazim Laci settled the game in the second minute of first half stoppage time from the spot, as Caykur Rizespor beat Eyüpspor 3-0.

Before that breakthrough, Laci had already shaped the contest in the 32nd minute, bending a cross that Jesurun Rak-Sakyi headed just wide.

On the stroke of the interval, VAR confirmed the spot kick for handball and Laci tucked his finish into the bottom right to give Rizespor a platform.

After the restart, he kept Rizespor progressing through midfield with quick releases and support runs before making way just past the hour.

He finished with 12 successful final third passes, one big chance created and six recoveries, underlining how his composure and punch in possession tilted the midfield battle.

Because Laci kept receiving on the half turn and moving the ball on early, Eyüpspor's back line was repeatedly forced to retreat, allowing Rizespor to control the key phases.

Caykur Rizespor rise from 13th to ninth in the Süper Lig. They visit Beşiktaş next. Eyüpspor remain 16th in the relegation places and host Fenerbahçe next.

How high would you rate Laci's performance tonight?
