Trabzonspor vs Gençlerbirliği

Gençlerbirliği produced a stunning away performance on Sunday, beating Trabzonspor 3-0 at Papara Park in a result that sent shockwaves through the Trendyol Süper Lig standings. The visitors were clinical all evening, with Adama Traoré heading home right on the stroke of half-time to give them a deserved lead heading into the break. Traoré had already collected a yellow card in the 32nd minute before his crucial 45th-minute header. Gençlerbirliği then shut the door and finished the job emphatically in the closing stages — Franco Tongya slotted home in the 88th minute, and Metehan Mimaroğlu, who had set up the opener, completed the rout deep into stoppage time (90'+3). Oğuz Tufan was booked for Trabzonspor in the dying moments, capping a miserable night for the hosts. No red cards or penalties. For Gençlerbirliği, sitting 15th before kick-off, the three points are a massive boost in their battle to stay in Turkey's top flight. For Trabzonspor, third in the table and chasing European football, it is a damaging home loss — and a second painful meeting with the same opponents in just four days.
