No goals in the Mediterranean Derby

À Éviter Score Futmetrix: 7/100. The Mediterranean Derby between Alanyaspor and Antalyaspor showcased intense balance but failed to deliver goals.

Stalemate at GAİN Park

The Mediterranean Derby always carries significant stakes, but this time, the clash at GAİN Park Stadium lacked the final touch. Alanyaspor looked to Ianis Hagi for inspiration, with the forward delivering a man-of-the-match performance. Hagi’s two key passes highlighted his creativity, yet the home side couldn’t find the breakthrough.

Set-piece pressure but no reward

Alanyaspor’s dominance in set-pieces, with 9 corners, created intensity in Antalyaspor’s defensive third, but they couldn’t convert pressure into goals. Antalyaspor, on the other hand, relied on counter-attacks but only managed 6 shots in total. Both teams struggled in terms of xG, with Alanyaspor posting just 0.66 and Antalyaspor 0.30, highlighting the lack of attacking sharpness.

Antalyaspor holds firm

While Antalyaspor didn’t produce any standout individual performances, their defensive resilience was notable. Despite withstanding waves of Alanyaspor attacks, they remained toothless upfront. The result leaves Alanyaspor in 10th place, while Antalyaspor stays 13th, still battling to climb the table.
