Four Goals, Four Lead Changes: Genclerbirligi and Alanyaspor Share the Spoils

Très Divertissant Score Futmetrix: 77/100. This Ankara clash delivered one of the Super Lig's most frantic passages: three goals in ten minutes, four lead changes, and a draw that left both sides frustrated and exhilarated.

Hagi's Early Warning Shot

Alanyaspor struck first through I. Hagi in the 14th minute, setting a tone that threatened to dominate the entire afternoon. The early goal unsettled Genclerbirligi's defence and allowed the visitors to control the game's intensity for long stretches. Yet the hosts refused to panic, maintaining 55% possession despite trailing.

Goalkeeper Heroics Keep It Tight

Ertuğrul Taşkıran made five crucial saves to shield Alanyaspor from Genclerbirligi's pressure. The home side's 11 shots (7 on target) created constant menace, but they lacked the clinical finishing to break through. Alanyaspor's 12 attempts—including six from outside the box—showed ambition but also desperation. The balance tipped constantly, neither team establishing dominance.

The Eruption: Three Goals in Ten Minutes

The 66th minute ignited chaos. Z. Zuzek, assisted by M. Niang, levelled at 1-1. Three minutes later, substitute Hwang Ui-Jo restored Alanyaspor's lead with a poacher's finish from Hagi's pass. The momentum swung again in the 76th minute when Niang converted a penalty, dragging Genclerbirligi back to parity. Four lead changes in ten minutes—a roller-coaster that left both benches breathless.

Set-Piece Pressure and Late Drama

Twelve corners (seven for the hosts) created constant upset factor around both penalty areas. Neither team could capitalise on this chaos. Taşkıran's five saves and Genclerbirligi's goalkeeper's four interventions prevented further goals, but the narrative remained unfinished. Final whistle: 2-2. Both teams left with regret—Alanyaspor squandered a chance to climb higher; Genclerbirligi, languishing 14th with just 5 points, salvaged a point they desperately needed but couldn't engineer a victory.
