Key Moments

The sending-off of V. Mihaila was the opening Eyupspor needed and did not use. They had a player extra for the entire second half and still failed to score. That gap between opportunity and execution defined the result.

The shot pattern explained the waste. Volume never became an equalizer, and Rizespor's fewer attempts still carried the higher expected goals. Sitting on the first goal that counted, the visitors could defend the lead until the late second removed the last of the home hope while Eyupspor were pushed up the pitch.
