Başakşehir's Defence Sends Eyüpspor Home Empty-Handed

Pásalo Puntuación Futmetrix: 17/100. In an early-season Super Lig encounter, neither side found the breakthrough—a collision between Başakşehir's growing stability and Eyüpspor's desperate climb from the bottom.

Defensive Fortress Holds Firm

Başakşehir seized balance with 51% possession and controlled the rhythm. Christopher Operi and Jerome Opoku stood immovable at the back, both delivering standout displays. The home side generated 10 shots with clear intensity, but only four found the target. Yet Marcos Felipe's four saves for Eyüpspor proved the difference—a goalkeeper's masterclass preventing a rout.

Eyüpspor's Blunt Attack

Eyüpspor fired 12 shots, only one on target. Midfield control evaporated into four offside positions, and despite 85% pass accuracy, the away side lacked the cutting edge. Their season record—one win, one draw, two losses—continued its downward trajectory. A goalless result offered no relief to a struggling outfit.

Tactical Stagnation

Thirty-two yellow cards (Başakşehir 4, Eyüpspor 5) painted a picture of teams lost in physical combat rather than tactical clarity. Başakşehir's 0.77 expected goals edged Eyüpspor's 0.63, yet both sides failed in the final act. Neither stakes nor upset factor registered—a sign that early-season rust still clings to both camps as they hunt for form.
