Fethiyespor led early and made life difficult, but Eyupspor’s control in midfield and sharper finishing after the break turned the match around.

Match overview

Fethiyespor started brightly in front of their home supporters and were rewarded for their early energy when Berkay Yıldız found space inside the box and finished calmly to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. The goal lifted the home side, and for a period Eyupspor struggled to find rhythm as Fethiyespor pressed aggressively and denied them time on the ball.

Tactical story

Fethiyespor’s early approach was built on intensity and quick forward passes, and it worked well for the first half-hour. However, Eyupspor adjusted their shape after the interval, pushing their full-backs higher and creating overloads in wide areas. That change stretched Fethiyespor’s defensive line, and the equaliser came from exactly that kind of wide build-up. Eyupspor’s substitutions also added fresh legs in midfield, helping them control the final 20 minutes.

Standout players

Emre Demir was central to Eyupspor’s comeback, linking play between midfield and attack and scoring the crucial equaliser. Oğuzhan Aydın’s late winner rewarded his intelligent movement, while Fethiyespor’s Berkay Yıldız was the hosts’ brightest spark and took his goal well. Fethiyespor’s goalkeeper also made several important saves to keep the score level for as long as he could.

Season impact

The 2-1 win sends Eyupspor through in the TUR Kupası and gives them momentum for the next round. For Fethiyespor, the defeat is a frustrating one after a promising start, but their performance showed they can compete against stronger opposition. Eyupspor’s ability to win away from home after conceding first will be a particular source of encouragement for their coaching staff.
