Unseen hero rescues Başakşehir with stoppage time header | OneFootball

Davie Selke levelled in the third minute of second half stoppage time with a glancing header, earning Başakşehir a 1-1 draw at Trabzonspor.

Introduced late on, Selke quickly offered penalty box presence, spinning away from his marker to fire over from the centre of the area moments after coming on. The movement signposted the threat he would bring across the final stretch.

The decisive moment arrived deep into added time, when he attacked a teasing delivery from the left and guided his header into the bottom left corner. Kazimcan Karataş supplied the cross that Selke redirected beyond the goalkeeper, a classic late striker's run separating him from his marker at the crucial instant.

He finished with two attempts, two touches in the box and one aerial duel won, numbers that underline a concise but telling cameo. Crucially, his positioning between centre back and full back created the angle for the header's glance, turning a hopeful cross into a high-quality chance.

Because Başakşehir kept width and fed early balls from advanced full back positions, Selke could attack the corridor at the near post. His timing disrupted Trabzonspor's defensive shape and ensured the visitors' pressure finally told at the death.

Başakşehir host Kasımpaşa next in the Süper Lig. Trabzonspor visit Samsunspor in the Türkiye Kupası.
