Standout star carries Alanyaspor past Konyaspor | OneFootball

Ruan Pereira Duarte broke the deadlock in the 37th minute with a left-footed strike, as Alanyaspor beat Konyaspor 2-1. He later won the penalty that led to the hosts' second.

Ruan timed his run on a fast break to finish high into the top left from the left side (37.), meeting Hwang Ui-jo's pass in stride and punishing the retreating defence.

After the restart he drew a foul in the area (78.). Moments later, Florent Hadergjonaj converted from the spot (80.), turning Ruan's burst into the decisive cushion.

He finished with three attempts, two key passes and seven touches in the box. His link play was clean too, completing 30 of 31 passes and making two successful tackles, which kept Alanyaspor advancing up the pitch.

His direct carries and 14 successful final third passes repeatedly unsettled Konyaspor, giving the front line a reliable outlet and control of key moments.

Alanyaspor stay 10th and host Başakşehir next. Konyaspor drop from 13th to 14th and welcome Galatasaray in their next league fixture.
