Alanyaspor opened their Turkish Cup campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over 12 Bingöl Bld at the Alanya Oba Stadyumu on 28 October 2026, turning a tight first half into a comfortable second-round progression with a polished second-half display. The Super Lig side’s superior quality in the final third ultimately told, but the visitors from Bingöl contributed to an entertaining cup tie with a spirited response and a well-taken equaliser before the home team pulled clear.

Match overview

Alanyaspor controlled the ball from the opening whistle, pushing their full-backs high and looking to isolate the 12 Bingöl Bld defence through quick switches of play. The early pressure produced the opening goal, and although the visitors briefly levelled through a rare counter-attacking opportunity, the home side restored their advantage before half-time and never looked back. A sharper, more ruthless second period sealed the result and underlined the gap in level between the two clubs.

The scoreline reflected Alanyaspor’s dominance in possession and shot volume, but 12 Bingöl Bld deserve credit for the way they defended in numbers and threatened on the break. The Turkish Cup (TUR Kupası) has long been a competition where lower-division sides raise their game, and the visitors did enough in the first half to make the home crowd uneasy before Alanyaspor’s quality and depth took over.

Tactical story

Alanyaspor’s approach was clear from the start: dominate territory, force 12 Bingöl Bld deep, and attack through the half-spaces. The home side’s midfield recycled possession efficiently, while their wide players repeatedly drove at the visiting full-backs. That width was central to the win, particularly after half-time, when Alanyaspor’s superior fitness and bench quality turned a competitive cup tie into a one-sided affair.

12 Bingöl Bld set up with a compact block and looked to spring forward through direct passes into the channels. It worked well enough to produce the equaliser, but sustaining that level against a top-flight opponent proved difficult. As the game wore on, Alanyaspor’s pressing became more aggressive and the visitors’ clearances grew longer and less controlled. The fourth goal was a natural consequence of that growing pressure.

Standout players

Efecan Karaca was the game’s calmest influence, linking midfield and attack and scoring the goal that settled Alanyaspor after the surprise equaliser. Yusuf Özdemir’s movement caused problems throughout, while Eren Berberoğlu’s second-half energy gave the home side a decisive edge in the final third. For 12 Bingöl Bld, Emre Aydın took his goal well and worked tirelessly as the lone outlet, while the goalkeeper made several saves that kept the score respectable before the late fourth goal.

What the result means

The 4-1 win sends Alanyaspor into the next round of the Turkish Cup with confidence and valuable momentum. A home cup tie against lower-division opposition is often a potential banana skin, so the manner of the second-half performance will please the coaching staff as much as the result itself. For 12 Bingöl Bld, the exit will sting, but the first-half display and the goal against a Super Lig side provide plenty of encouragement for their league campaign. The match also served as a reminder of Alanyaspor’s attacking depth as they juggle domestic league commitments with cup ambitions.
