Musaba's Stoppage-Time Masterclass: Samsunspor Survives Chaotic Derby Thriller
Incontournable Score Futmetrix: 84/100. Five goals, three lead changes, and a 90th-minute winner—this was Süper Lig theatre at its most unhinged.
Chaos Begets Victory
Samsunspor hosted Fatih Karagümrük in a match that abandoned all pretence of defensive solidity from the opening whistle. The 31st-minute own goal from L. Satka handed the home side an early cushion, but the intensity of what followed was relentless. By the 52nd minute, A. Cinar's own goal had yanked Fatih Karagümrük level—a shock that reset the entire narrative. This wasn't a match of control; it was a balance beam swaying with every touch.
Ndiaye Strikes, Fofana Answers
Cherif Ndiaye restored Samsunspor's lead in the 54th minute from C. Holse's assist, a clinical finish that seemed to be steering the home side toward victory. Yet Fatih Karagümrük refused to fold. Substitute D. D. Fofana, introduced in the 68th minute, levelled proceedings at 2-2 in the 81st with a composed finish from S. Larsson's cross. The stakes had never been higher. Samsunspor, despite controlling just 49% possession, had peppered the goal with 14 shots—a volume that masked their underlying fragility.
Musaba's Final Word
Anthony Musaba etched his name into this match's folklore with a 90th-minute strike from L. Tomasson's assist, gifting Samsunspor a 3-2 victory. This was the third and decisive lead change—a winner takes all moment that epitomised the home side's resolve. Fatih Karagümrük, languishing 17th with just 3 points before kick-off, had fought valiantly but ultimately fell short. Samsunspor's fifth-place finish and 11 points now carry the weight of a hard-fought triumph.
