Decisive figure's brace and defensive steel lift Konyaspor past Trabzonspor | OneFootball

Berkan Kutlu broke it open in the 32nd minute with a close-range header, setting Konyaspor on their way to beat Trabzonspor 2-1.

The opener came from a corner, the defender reacting quickest to glance in from near the goalmouth as pressure built on the visitors' six-yard line.

Kutlu then doubled the advantage with a left-foot finish from a tight angle into the roof of the net (39.), converting after Enis Bardhi's pass had freed him down the left.

He married end product with control. Kutlu recorded three attempts, all on target, and made seven interceptions and four clearances, repeatedly stepping in front to break up play as Trabzonspor pushed on.

Because Konyaspor kept him high from set pieces and compact without the ball, his timing at both ends unsettled Trabzonspor and ensured the decisive moments tilted the game.

Konyaspor climb from ninth to eighth in the Süper Lig table. They visit Caykur Rizespor next. Trabzonspor host Göztepe next.
