Bingöl's Double Rescue Kocaelispor From the Brink

Sehr unterhaltsam Futmetrix-Wertung: 79/100. When Konyaspor surrendered control in 14 minutes of pandemonium, Kocaelispor climbed from 2-1 down to claim 3-2—this season's most audacious Süper Lig reversal.

Control Evaporates, Intensity Erupts

Konyaspor dominated the first half. With 56% possession and clinical finishing, the home side looked assured. Pedrinho's penalty conversion in the 51st minute put them 2-1 ahead. But that momentary advantage crumbled when Kocaelispor unleashed a intensity surge that rewrote the entire balance of play.

Minutes 63–77: The Turning Point

In the 63rd minute, Habib Keita levelled at 2-2 from K. Linetty's assist. Eight minutes later, Tayfur Bingöl struck from Keita's pass to make it 3-2. This 14-minute flurry—three goals in 14 minutes—flipped the narrative entirely. Despite Konyaspor's 12 shots (3 on target) against Kocaelispor's seven (3 on target), the visitors' clinical finishing proved decisive. xG favoured Konyaspor (1.52 vs 0.98), yet Kocaelispor's ruthless execution in the final third told the true story.

Bingöl's Brace Defines the Afternoon

Bingöl's opener in the 44th minute set the tone; his 71st-minute strike was the match-winner. Rated 8.6, Kocaelispor's talisman delivered when it mattered most in a match where the lead changed hands three times. Umut Nayır pulled one back for Konyaspor in the 77th with clinical precision, but it proved too late. For Kocaelispor—15th in the table with just eight points—this victory is a lifeline in what has been a struggling campaign. Konyaspor remain ninth with 11 points, but this loss stings: they controlled the game yet surrendered it in one chaotic spell.
