Goalless Draw in Tense Encounter Between Istanbul Basaksehir and Antalyaspor in Antalya
Antalya, Turkey – The match between Istanbul Basaksehir and Antalyaspor, played at the Corendon Airlines Park on February 9th, 2025, ended in a goalless draw, a game characterized by tension and questionable discipline. Although Istanbul Basaksehir enjoyed a slight possession advantage (52%), both teams displayed a worrying lack of accuracy in front of goal, with Antalyaspor managing 14 shots, none on target, and Basaksehir only 5 with a similar result.
The game was frequently interrupted by fouls, with 17 committed by Antalyaspor and 18 by Istanbul Basaksehir. Yellow cards were abundant, with a total of seven cautions: four for Istanbul Basaksehir (Crespo, Keny, Ozdemir, and Kemen) and three for Antalyaspor (Rakip, Dikmen, and Djenepo). This high number of cards reflected the intensity of the match and the frustration at the lack of goals. Despite the absence of goals, inaccuracy and rough play dominated the encounter, providing a less-than-spectacular show for the fans. Referee Zorbay Kucuk, from Türkiye, had a busy night trying to control the flow of the game.
