Konya's Clinical Execution: Gaziantep Dismantled

Normal Puntuación Futmetrix: 44/100. This 3-0 demolition matters because Konyaspor has now secured back-to-back wins to lead the title race, while Gazişehir Gaziantep faces a relegation nightmare having lost both opening matches without a single goal.

Ndao's Masterclass on Display

Alassane Ndao orchestrated Konya's dominance with surgical precision. His 18th-minute opener, assisted by A. Demirbag, set the tone for a relentless assault. But it was his assist for D. Aleksic in the 50th minute that truly showcased his control of the midfield's intensity. Five key passes from Ndao orchestrated Konya's attacking rhythm, turning the pitch into a stage where Gaziantep had no answer.

Gaziantep's Collapse Deepens

Gaziantep's plight was starkly illustrated by their shooting: 17 attempts, just 1 on target. This statistical chasm exposed a fundamental balance problem. Konya's clinical finishing—7 of 15 shots on target—contrasted brutally with Gaziantep's wasteful display. When Yhoan Andzouana sealed the verdict in the 83rd minute from D. Ertas's cross, it wasn't a shock—it was an inevitability. Two matches, six goals conceded, zero scored: Gaziantep's season is already in crisis mode.

Konya's Early Supremacy

Despite even possession (50-50), Konya's quality gap was unmistakable. Melih Ibrahimoglu's midfield presence and Ndao's creativity constantly exploited Gaziantep's defensive vulnerabilities. With two wins from two, Konya has seized early leadership in the title race with stakes already defining this season. Gaziantep, meanwhile, faces the grim reality of a relegation battle before summer has truly ended.
