Match Report
Gençlerbirliği produced a stunning comeback to beat Kasımpaşa 3-2 at Eryaman Stadium, with Franco Tongya's 70th-minute strike sealing one of the season's most dramatic reversals.
Adrian Benedyczak put the visitors in command with a goal inside the opening minute — set up by Fousseni Diabate — then doubled the lead from the spot at 12', the penalty awarded after Tongya pulled him down in the box. Gençlerbirliği roared back before the break: Adama Traore headed one back on 42', and Dimitrios Goutas levelled with another header from Metehan Mimaroğlu's free kick deep into first-half stoppage time. Tongya — the man who conceded the penalty — then made glorious amends with the winner on 70'. Kasımpaşa boss Emre Belözoğlu was sent to the stands, leaving the touchline before the final whistle.
The win lifts Gençlerbirliği to 31 points in a nervy relegation scrap, while Kasımpaşa — stranded on 32 — now face their next fixture without the suspended Belözoğlu, a costly sideline in a frantic run-in.
