Unseen hero's penalty stop preserves Eyüpspor point

Jankat Yilmaz saved a penalty in the eighth minute to secure Eyüpspor's 0-0 draw at Göztepe.

Early on, the 21-year-old dived low to his right to deny Janderson from the spot after VAR confirmed the spot kick.

He stayed alert, saving Amin Cherni's left-footed strike from the left side (30.).

After the restart, he blocked Jeh's effort from a tight angle on the right (72.). In the fourth minute of second half stoppage time, he pushed away Dorin Rotariu's low drive to preserve the result.

Yilmaz finished with three saves, a penalty stop, two high claims and two punches, marshalling his box while Göztepe sent in 27 crosses. His positioning and handling steadied Eyüpspor during the most pressured phases.

Eyüpspor host Konyaspor in the Türkiye Kupasi next, then welcome Kocaelispor in the league. Göztepe visit Başakşehir.
