Dominant Display from the Outset

The home team took control from the first whistle. Fluid passing and intelligent movement caused constant problems for the Samsunspor defence. Başakşehir opened the scoring in the 14th minute after a flowing move ended with a low drive from the edge of the box. Five minutes later, they doubled the lead – a header from a corner kick giving the goalkeeper no chance. At 2‑0, the visitors looked shell‑shocked.

Sealing the Win
