Match in Five Sentences: Gençlerbirliği and Kayserispor drew 0-0 in the Süper Lig. In the fourth minute, Miguel Cardoso forced Ricardo Velho into a low save as the visitors threatened early. Denis Makarov then had a goal ruled out by VAR (56.), the key flashpoint in a tight game. Chances were scarce, with both sides posting 10 attempts and Gençlerbirliği's 54.3% possession bringing just three on target. Gençlerbirliği visit Aliağa in the Türkiye Kupasi next, while Kayserispor host Trabzonspor next.

Player of the Match: Ricardo Velho made four saves, including a sharp early stop from Miguel Cardoso, and stayed secure under crosses to preserve his clean sheet.
