Decisive figure fires Göztepe past Samsunspor | OneFootball

Arda Kurtulan struck in the 23rd minute to put Göztepe on course for a 2-0 win over Samsunspor. He later added a second (68.).

Kurtulan first found space in the centre and swept a left-footed finish into the bottom right from Juan's pass (23.).

After the restart he broke from a fast transition, timing his run to meet another Juan ball before finishing from close range (68.).

He finished with two attempts, both on target, scoring twice, along with four touches in the box and two successful dribbles – a clinical, high-impact display.

Constant movement between the centre-backs, especially on counters, kept Samsunspor stretched and ensured Göztepe controlled the decisive moments.

Göztepe sit fourth on 32 points. They host Caykur Rizespor next in the Süper Lig. Samsunspor face Eyüpspor in the Türkiye Kupasi next.
