Gaziantep FK 3 - 2 FT Antalyaspor

Gueye's Golden Touch Rescues Gaziantep from the Brink in Five-Goal Thriller

必見 Futmetrix スコア: 92/100. Gaziantep's 3-2 victory over Antalyaspor became Süper Lig's most compelling watch this week when a substitute's two-minute double transformed a commanding performance into a final-whistle escape.

Early Dominance: Gaziantep's Command

Gaziantep seized control from the opening whistle with intensity that left no room for doubt. Drissa Camara broke the deadlock in the 4th minute with an assist from A. Maxim, then K. Kozlowski added the second in the 17th. By the 31st minute, Camara's assist found M. Bayo for a third, and Gaziantep looked untouchable at 3-0. With 70% possession and 22 shots, the stakes appeared settled. But football punishes complacency.

The Substitute's Sorcery: Gueye's Two-Minute Miracle

In the 84th minute, Bachir Gueye entered the pitch and rewrote the script. Two minutes. Two goals. His brace—unassisted in the 84th, then set up by A. Omur in the 86th—flipped the balance from 3-0 to 3-2. Gueye's 9.2 rating made him the match's standout performer, a substitute who shifted upset factor from zero to reality. Antalyaspor's late surge fell just short, but it transformed a routine victory into a must-watch finale.

The Numbers Tell a Tale of Control and Chaos

Gaziantep dominated on paper: 22 shots to Antalyaspor's 7, 93% pass accuracy, 70% possession. Yet the final 10 minutes stripped away all certainty. With 11 corners, 29 combined shots, and 12 on target, this was a masterclass in intensity. Gaziantep's 1.79 xG dwarfed Antalyaspor's 0.44, but xG doesn't account for the drama of the 84th and 86th minutes. Luis Pérez's outstanding performance (3 key passes) couldn't prevent the final-act reversal. Gaziantep won, but Gueye ensured nobody left the stadium unshaken.

Gaziantep’s firepower meets Antalya’s away edge

平均的 Futmetrix スコア: 51/100. This mid-table clash matters because Gaziantep’s in-form attack and Antalyaspor’s strong away Form will shape who can kick on towards the league’s top half.

The Setup

On 19 October 2025, Gazişehir Gaziantep welcome Antalyaspor in Süper Lig Regular Season - 9 at the stadium. The bigger picture is about positioning rather than titles: Gaziantep sit 7th with 22 points from 14 games, Antalyaspor 13th with 14 points from the same number of matches.

Gaziantep’s story is clear: high ceiling in attack, fragile Balance at the back. They’ve scored 21 and conceded 22, but the frontline is lighting up. Kévin Rodrigues has delivered 1 goal and 1 assist in his last 2 games, while Christophe Lungoyi has struck 2 goals in 2 matches, averaging a 7.7 rating. Behind them, goalkeeper Mustafa Burak Bozan brings control: 15 saves, 3.0 per game, and 2 clean sheets in 5 appearances underline his impact.

Antalyaspor arrive with a very different profile. Their 4 wins and 8 defeats, with 14 scored and 25 conceded, highlight a leaky back line and an attack that rarely cuts loose. Yet their away Form changes the equation: 2 wins from 4 on the road show they travel well and won’t fear this trip. On the left, Güray Vural has flashed quality, with 1 goal and an eye-catching 8.3 rating from just 1 match, giving the visitors a genuine outlet.

Key Battle

The decisive contest should unfold down Gaziantep’s left. For the hosts, Christophe Lungoyi attacks that channel aggressively, making runs inside and arriving in the box as an extra striker. Opposite him, Antalyaspor rely on Güray Vural to carry the ball forward and deliver from wide areas. If Lungoyi pins Vural deep, Gaziantep will dominate territory; if Vural forces him backwards, Antalyaspor’s counters suddenly become dangerous and tilt the Balance of the game.

Our Prediction

Expect Gaziantep to push the line high, press early and funnel attacks through their left side, looking to free Rodrigues between the lines and Lungoyi in the box. Antalyaspor will likely sit compact, trust their away Form, and spring forward through the flanks, especially via Vural. Over 90 minutes, Gaziantep’s attacking Stars and the security of Bozan in goal should tell. We see chances at both ends, but the hosts having the extra gear in the final third. Predicted script: Antalyaspor land a punch on the break, yet Gaziantep turn pressure into goals. Our call: Gazişehir Gaziantep 2-1 Antalyaspor.
