After a VAR upgrade left Anil Yasar sent off (78.), the visitors produced 48 clearances to protect the lead.

Stat of the Match: Eyüpspor produced 48 clearances, a rearguard effort that underlined how they protected a first half lead after the dismissal.

Three Things We Learned: Fatih Karagümrük controlled long spells but lacked punch, finishing with 61.7% possession and 12 attempts but only three on target. Eyüpspor were far more clinical, turning six attempts into four on target and making Łęgowski's first half strike count. The dismissal did not crack the visitors' resolve, and a 76.9% tackle success hints at why their lead held.
