Ayvalikgucu Belediyespor 1-2 Yeni Orduspor: Orduspor Rally to Take All Three Points
Yeni Orduspor came from behind to claim a vital 2-1 victory over Ayvalikgucu Belediyespor in the Turkish Third League on 17 May 2026. The visitors showed resilience and attacking flair to overturn an early deficit and strengthen their position in the league standings.
Ayvalikgucu Start Strong
The home side began the match with intensity and took the lead in the 12th minute. A swift move down the left flank ended with a low cross that striker Mustafa Yilmaz turned into the net from six yards out. Ayvalikgucu continued to press, and only a fine save from Orduspor goalkeeper Emre Kaya prevented a second goal.
Orduspor gradually settled into the game, but struggled to create meaningful chances in the first half. The home side’s aggressive pressing limited their time on the ball, and the visitors went into the break trailing.
Second Half Comeback
Yeni Orduspor came out with a more positive approach after halftime. They equalised in the 54th minute when a long ball forward caused confusion in the Ayvalikgucu defence, and forward Ali Can Celik pounced to poke home.
The away side grew in confidence and began to dominate possession. Their pressure paid off in the 73rd minute when a well-worked corner found midfielder Emrehan Yildirim unmarked at the back post, and he volleyed home to put Orduspor ahead.
Ayvalikgucu pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, but the visitors’ defence, marshalled by captain Serkan Demir, held firm to secure a hard-fought victory.
