Tense Match in Van Ends in Goalless Draw
Van, Turkey – In a hard-fought match at the Atatürk Şehir Stadyumu in Van, Van BB and Sivasspor drew 0-0 in a game marked by intensity and midfield battles. Referee Resat Onur Coskunses had a busy afternoon, showing several yellow cards and one red card, reflecting the constant friction between both teams.
Van BB dominated possession with 52%, insistently searching for the opponent’s goal. However, a lack of precision in their shots (only 2 of 9 shots were on target) and a well-organized Sivasspor defense prevented the home side from opening the scoring. A goal disallowed for offside in the 56th minute added frustration to the Van BB ranks.
Sivasspor, although with less possession (48%), showed defensive solidity and looked for counter-attacks. However, their lack of offensive effectiveness (only one shot on target out of seven attempts) prevented them from taking the victory.
The match was characterized by a high number of fouls (14 by Van BB and 12 by Sivasspor) and a series of cautions. Van BB accumulated three yellow cards and a red card in the 90th minute, while Sivasspor received one yellow card. The match, valid for the sixth round of the Turkish 1. Lig regular season, left both teams feeling like they had lost two points rather than gained one.
