Gueye's Clinical Brace Flips the Script: Alanyaspor Undone at Home

Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 61/100. Kasımpaşa's second-half blitz—three goals in seven minutes—exposed Alanyaspor's inability to convert possession into results, handing the visitors a statement upset victory.

The Seven-Minute Earthquake: Goals Change Everything

Alanyaspor dominated the opening 45 minutes with surgical precision. Intensity flowed from the home side. Then, 45 minutes in, Hwang Ui-Jo finished Hadergjonaj's assist to put the hosts ahead. But the second half belonged to Kasımpaşa. At 48 minutes, Pape Habib Gueye levelled from Winck's cross. Four minutes later, the 52nd-minute mark: Cafu's pass found Gueye again, and Kasımpaşa flipped the balance entirely. Three goals in seven minutes. The match was won.

Possession Without Precision: Alanyaspor's Fatal Flaw

Alanyaspor controlled 68% of possession and unleashed 17 shots—the picture of dominance. Yet Kasımpaşa, with just eight attempts, proved that stakes and clinical finishing trump volume. Gueye's brace—an 8.3-rated performance—was the difference. The home side's 14 corners yielded nothing. Their 89% pass accuracy masked a fundamental weakness: they couldn't break down a compact, counterattacking Kasımpaşa. The visitors' defensive discipline in open play and their ruthlessness on the break exposed the upset factor lurking beneath Alanyaspor's possession metrics.

The Underdog's Statement

Kasımpaşa entered 14th, two points behind Alanyaspor. This road victory—engineered by Gueye's clinical finishing—signals that league position is no guarantee of tactical superiority. The visitors absorbed pressure, waited for their moments, and struck with precision. For Alanyaspor, the sting of this loss will linger: 68% possession, 6 shots on target, yet no trophy to show for it. In the Süper Lig, control is not currency. Kasımpaşa just proved it.
