Standout star sets the platform for Caykur Rizespor on the road | OneFootball

Halil Dervisoglu broke the game open in the 25th minute with a low, right-footed finish, setting Caykur Rizespor on their way to a 3-0 win at Kasımpaşa.

The forward's opener came from the centre of the box, swept into the bottom left corner after he found a pocket between defenders. It settled the visitors and tilted the afternoon their way.

He threatened again with a glancing header that missed to the left (36.). After the restart he rose to meet another cross but nodded off target (67.). He then made way after a hard-running shift (72.).

Dervisoglu finished with three attempts, won the ball back six times, and completed all nine of his passes, a blend of penalty-box threat and tidy link play that underpinned Caykur Rizespor's control.

His aggressive positioning on the last line kept centre-backs pinned and opened lanes for runners, giving the visitors a platform to surge away after the break.

Caykur Rizespor climb from 11th to 10th and visit Beşiktaş in the Türkiye Kupasi next, before hosting Antalyaspor in the league. Kasımpaşa travel to Konyaspor next.
