Kayserispor vs Rizespor

A late double handed Kayserispor a crucial 2-0 home win over Çaykur Rizespor in Matchday 31 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, with both decisive moments arriving inside the final ten minutes of an otherwise tightly contested affair at Kadir Has Stadium. The deadlock was broken in the 79th minute when substitute Fedor Chalov — introduced just six minutes earlier — escaped the goalkeeper to finish from close range, assisted by German Onugha. Laszlo Benes sealed it in the 88th minute with a sharp left-footed strike set up by Gorkem Saglam. Earlier drama came in the 35th minute when Valentin Mihaila's goal for Rizespor was ruled out after VAR spotted a foul in the build-up. The three points are massive for Kayserispor, who pick up their first win in three matches to reach 26 points and climb to 16th place with a game in hand — precious breathing space in the relegation fight. Rizespor remain comfortable at 37 points but head home with nothing to show for the trip.
