Rak-Sakyi's Brace Orchestrates Rizespor's Demolition of Antalya

Très Divertissant Score Futmetrix: 73/100. A goal festival that began in the fourth minute spiralled into a five-goal masterclass from Rizespor, exposing Antalyaspor's structural fragility with brutal efficiency.

The First Nine Minutes Decided Everything

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi announced Rizespor's intentions with a fourth-minute opener, set up by Laci. By the ninth minute, Jurecka's finish made it 0-2, and the intensity had shifted decisively. Antalya's 13th-minute response through Dikmen proved a false dawn—a momentary gasp before the rout resumed. Three goals in nine minutes exposed the gulf in balance: Rizespor's press suffocated Antalya's midfield, turning the pitch into a one-way street.

The Red Card Moment That Broke Antalya

At 58 minutes, Sander van de Streek was sent off for dissent, and Antalya's fate was sealed. Down to ten men, they had already conceded Rak-Sakyi's second goal just ten minutes earlier. The numerical disadvantage transformed what was a competitive match into a training-ground execution. Rizespor's finishing was clinical: every opportunity converted, every chance a dagger.

The Bench Buried Them

Late substitutes Zeqiri (86'), Cvancara (89'), and Mihaila (90') piled on the misery, each finding the net with ease. Seven goals, 29 shots, 14 on target—the stakes couldn't have been clearer. Yahia Fofana's five saves kept the scoreline from becoming grotesque. For Antalya, languishing in tenth place with a minus-four goal difference, this wasn't a defeat—it was a reckoning.
