Standout star sets Antalyaspor on their way against Samsunspor | OneFootball

Samuel Ballet struck in the sixth minute to put Antalyaspor ahead on a fast break, setting up a 3-1 win over Samsunspor in the Süper Lig.

Ballet burst in behind to meet Ramzi Safuri's through ball and finished from a tight angle, the breakaway exposing space left by Samsunspor's advanced full backs.

He then doubled up with a left footer from outside the box (22.), this time fed by Dogukan Sinik, whipping low into the bottom corner from range to give Antalyaspor daylight.

After the restart he remained central to the threat, heading wide from the centre of the area (60.). Moments later his blocked effort preceded the passage where Nikola Storm drilled in from distance (72.).

The midfielder finished with five attempts and five touches in the box, plus four tackles with three won, a snapshot of how his direct running and defensive work anchored Antalyaspor's counter first plan amid 34.8% possession.

Antalyaspor rise from 14th to 11th in the Süper Lig and visit Kayserispor next. Samsunspor remain seventh and visit Shkëndija in the UEFA Conference League next.
