Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Florian Ayé’s 26th-minute strike gave Kocaelispor a 1-0 win over Yılport Samsunspor in the Süper Lig, with goalkeeper Serhat Öztaşdelen proving the standout performer. The result was a smash-and-grab against the run of play, leaving Kocaelispor to bank three unlikely points despite being second best throughout.

The game turned on a single moment of clinical finishing, as Ayé converted from open play midway through the first half to silence the visitors. Massadio Haïdara was booked for Kocaelispor two minutes later, but the hosts held firm as Yılport Samsunspor poured forward without reward. The away side dominated the opening period, registering fifteen shots before the break, yet somehow went in behind.

The numbers tell a brutally honest tale: Yılport Samsunspor had 55% possession and nineteen shots to Kocaelispor’s nine, while their expected goals of 1.63 dwarfed the hosts’ 1.23. The second half saw Kocaelispor cling on, with the visitors controlling 61% of the ball but managing only four tame efforts. Serhat Öztaşdelen earned his 8/10 rating in goal, the backbone of a victory that flattered his side. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Yılport Samsunspor, and the result did not confirm it, though the live signals correctly backed Kocaelispor.
