Decisive figure earns Alanyaspor a point with nerveless penalty | OneFootball

Guven Yalcin converted a penalty in the 67th minute to earn Alanyaspor a 1-1 draw with Trabzonspor.

Before the equaliser, Yalcin had already shaped the tie, threading a forward pass that led to a shot saved (54.). His movement between the lines repeatedly offered a direct outlet for the hosts.

He then stepped up from the spot, placing his kick low into the bottom right (67.). VAR confirmed the spot kick after a handball in the area, and his calm finish reset the momentum.

Yalcin's all round display told in the numbers: one goal from his only attempt, 16 of 17 passes completed, two aerial duels won and three recoveries, plus a key pass. Those contributions underlined how he linked play and kept attacks alive.

With Alanyaspor at 40.8% possession, his hold up work and timing of runs gave the side a reliable focal point, helping them secure territory and relieve pressure when it mattered.

Alanyaspor rise from 11th to 10th and visit Kasımpaşa next. Trabzonspor climb from third to second and host Başakşehir next.
