Ben Ouanes' 90th-Minute Winner: Kasımpaşa Snatches Dramatic Victory
Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 60/100. With the lead changing hands three times in a relentless contest, Kasımpaşa's final-breath triumph deepens Rizespor's relegation concerns.
Intensity Peaks From Whistle to Final Whistle
At Rizespor's home, this six-pointer erupted instantly. Kasımpaşa seized control in the 35th minute when P. Gueye finished after Mortadha Ben Ouanes carved open the defence. But Rizespor struck back: 60 minutes in, G. Papanikolaou levelled from E. Bulut's assist. The VAR confirmed Bulut's involvement at 63 minutes, reigniting the contest. The match swung wildly—balance shattered as momentum shifted with each goal.
The Turning Point: A Substitute's Fatal Touch
Brought on in the 87th minute, A. Mujde immediately altered the stakes. Three minutes later, Ben Ouanes collected his pass and buried the decisive blow into the 90th-minute frame. Qazim Laci orchestrated Rizespor's midfield with three key passes, yet couldn't prevent the collapse. Kasımpaşa's defensive indiscipline—17 fouls—was countered by Rizespor's clinical inefficiency: 62% possession, only two shots on target, 1.35 xG wasted. Ben Ouanes (8.3 rating, 1 goal + 1 assist) proved the difference-maker; his double strike lifted Kasımpaşa into 11th and left Rizespor (13th, goal difference -5) staring at the abyss.
