Unseen hero sparks late turnaround for Caykur Rizespor | OneFootball

Qazim Laci hauled Caykur Rizespor level in the 79th minute with a low right-footed finish, sparking a late push to beat Gaziantep 2-1.

Laci arrived onto Valentin Mihaila's cross after a corner and drove his shot into the bottom left (79.). The timing of the run and the clean contact flipped the momentum towards the hosts.

Moments later, Laci threaded Halil Dervisoglu through for a left-footed effort that was blocked (81.). His positioning between the lines kept Gaziantep retreating and invited pressure in the final third.

He finished with five attempts, two on target, plus four tackles won from four. He also created two chances and completed 10 successful final third passes, underlining a box-to-box shift that anchored the comeback.

Because he attacked second phases at set pieces and drifted into the inside right channel, Laci repeatedly found room to shoot and combine, forcing Gaziantep's back line to adjust and clearing the path for the decisive late surge.

Caykur Rizespor rise from 12th to 8th in the Süper Lig table. They visit Fenerbahçe next. Gaziantep host Kayserispor next.

How high would you rate Laci's performance tonight?
