Samsunspor survive late rally after VAR-backed Mouandilmadji strike | OneFootball

Samsunspor beat Alanyaspor 3-2 in Antalya, staying seventh in the Süper Lig and ending the hosts' three-match home unbeaten run after a frantic finish.

In the 37th minute, Elayis Tavşan bent a left-footer from outside the box after Ali Diabaté's pass to open the scoring. Olivier Ntcham doubled the lead (39.), turning in Marius Mouandilmadji's lay-off.

After the restart, Irfan Can Egribayat stood tall, saving from Ruan and later tipping away Enes Keskin's close-range header as Alanyaspor pushed.

In the first minute of second half stoppage time, Mouandilmadji swept in Carlo Holse's square ball, and after a VAR review the goal stood.

Substitute Guven Yalcin pulled one back in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time. Moments later, fellow substitute Mechak Elia finished Ruan's cut-back in the seventh minute of second half stoppage time to set up a grandstand ending.

Samsunspor recorded seven shots on target from 12 attempts. Alanyaspor delivered 12 corners and 17 attempts, testing the goalkeeper five times.
