Match Report

A goalless draw at Kocaeli Stadium closed out Matchday 28, as Kocaelispor and Başakşehir played out a stalemate neither side will be proud of. The match's biggest flashpoint came in the 71st minute when Harit's close-range effort appeared to cross the line before referee Ali Yılmaz waved play on — sparking furious protests from the visitors. Chances were not lacking on either end. Yusuf Sarı rattled the post for the hosts in the 13th minute, and Agyei squandered a close-range opportunity in the 37th. For Başakşehir, Operi was denied by a sharp stop from goalkeeper Serhat Öztaşdelen in the 24th, Shomurodov was turned away on 55 minutes, and Rivas blazed over in stoppage time to cap a wasteful display. Both clubs are now winless in three consecutive league outings. Kocaelispor climb to 8th on 34 points, while Başakşehir remain on 44 — a tally that could start to feel uncomfortable if their goalscoring drought persists.
