Match report
Gaziantep hold out with ten men to sink Eyüpspor
Gaziantep FK secured a 1-0 win away to Eyüpspor in matchday two of the Süper Lig, a result that leaves Ozhan Pulat's side still searching for their first points while Mirel Radoi's visitors climbed to fifth in the table. The only goal came in the second half, but the closing exchanges were shaped by a numerical setback for the away side.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Deian Sorescu broke the deadlock in the 60th minute, turning a goalless first half into a lead for Gaziantep. The advantage was soon complicated when Juninho Bacuna was sent off in the 64th minute, leaving Gaziantep to defend their slender lead with ten men for the remainder of the contest.
Despite conceding the extra man, Gaziantep's rearguard held firm through to the final whistle. Eyüpspor pressed for an equaliser and held 55 percent of possession, but their shots tally of nine failed to yield a breakthrough, with only two on target, as Radoi's side saw out the win.
Sorescu scored the decisive goal and finished with a rating of 8.6, the highest of any player on the pitch.
Eyüpspor's 0.19 expected goals against Gaziantep's 0.95 underlined how much more clinical the away side were in front of goal despite playing over half the match a man down.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Eyüpspor 38%, the draw 29%, Gaziantep FK 33%. It finished Eyüpspor 0–1 Gaziantep FK.
Level sides, home ground holds off Gaziantep FK's control of the ball — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Eyüpspor's 38% is home ground and little else. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Eyüpspor in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1562 to 1586. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,816 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%).
Why only 38%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Gaziantep FK hold 8 more possession points (49 to 41 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.3% across 5,543 games, from 44.0% when styles were level. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Eyüpspor's column. Across 10,693 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,855. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 4 between them: Eyüpspor 3 wins, 0 draws, Gaziantep FK 1 win. Most recently Eyüpspor 3–0 Gaziantep FK, 4 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5051 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. Eyüpspor's last five: W-D-W-D-L — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2190 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 4003 when clearly colder.
