Rizespor vs Antalyaspor

Rizespor made it three league wins on the bounce with a 1-0 home victory over Antalyaspor at Çaykur Didi Stadium. Qazim Laçi converted an early penalty to settle a tight Süper Lig affair. Laçi struck from the spot just 10 minutes in, and Rizespor rarely looked troubled despite conceding the lion's share of possession. Antalyaspor held 53% of the ball but managed just two shots on target, with the hosts happy to sit deep and hit on the break. Tempers frayed as the match wore on, with four yellow cards dished out in the second half — Samuel Ballet and Bünyamin Balcı booked for the visitors, Taylan Antalyalı and Giannis Papanikolaou cautioned for the hosts. The win lifts Rizespor further into mid-table comfort around 10th place, while Antalyaspor's away-day misery continues. They remain winless in seven on the road and sit just four points above the relegation zone.
