Decisive figure tilts it for Başakşehir with opener and creativity | OneFootball

Eldor Shomurodov opened the scoring in the 21st minute to set Başakşehir on their way to a 5-1 win over Gaziantep. He is now on 12 league goals, leading the Süper Lig scoring.

The forward found space between the centre-backs and slotted low from the centre of the box, a composed finish that broke the game open for the hosts.

After the restart he combined neatly to fashion another opening, his shot being blocked after a headed lay-off (48.). He then turned provider, slipping a pass into the area for Umut Gunes to sweep in the fourth (68.).

Shomurodov's output underlined his control of the final third: three attempts, two on target, three chances created and nine touches in the box. He also completed 12 final third passes, repeatedly linking moves and keeping Gaziantep's back line on edge.

Because Başakşehir's midfield drew markers wide, his diagonal runs into central pockets were hard to track, allowing him to receive on the half-turn and decide key moments.

Başakşehir rise from 10th to 7th in the table, while Gaziantep drop from 7th to 9th. Başakşehir host Fatih Karagümrük next; Gaziantep visit Galatasaray.
