Decisive figure turns the tide for Göztepe with winner and tireless two-way display

Arda Kurtulan settled the contest in the 63rd minute with a composed finish as Göztepe beat Caykur Rizespor 3-1. His strike flipped the momentum after the equaliser and put the hosts in control.

He timed his run to meet Juan's cut-back and swept in from close range, the game's key swing. From there he kept Göztepe on the front foot, linking attacks and drawing fouls to relieve pressure.

As Rizespor pushed, Kurtulan's work rate told. He won seven possessions and made three clearances, adding two tackles won to help close the game out under late pressure.

The numbers backed up a complete display: three successful dribbles, three touches in the box and tidy final third passing, all wrapped around the decisive goal that restored the lead.

With that influence, Göztepe visit Fenerbahçe next. Caykur Rizespor host Alanyaspor.
