Tayfur Bingol decided it in the 37th minute with a precise finish from a tight angle, as Kocaelispor beat Antalyaspor 2-1.
Early on he threatened down the right, combining with Bruno Petković to draw a block and set the tone in transition.
He then struck from a narrow angle on the right, driving into the bottom-right corner after a well-timed pass from Karol Linetty (37.).
Bingol's output underlined his influence: two attempts, two successful dribbles and nine recoveries, plus six successful passes in the final third. He also won possession four times, repeatedly turning Antalyaspor around in wide areas.
Because Kocaelispor found joy down his flank, his direct running and tidy combinations kept the visitors' back line stretched and allowed the hosts to control dangerous moments either side of half time.
Kocaelispor rise from ninth to eighth in the Süper Lig table. They host Erzurumspor in the Türkiye Kupasi next. Antalyaspor visit Kasımpaşa next in the Süper Lig.
How high would you rate Bingol's performance tonight?
