Arda Kurtulan gave Göztepe the lead in the second minute and the home side led 1-0 at half-time. Rizespor equalised in the 70th minute when Ibrahim Olawoyin finished from Can Bozdoğan's assist, and Iustin Doicaru, set up by Mithat Pala, put the visitors ahead in the 81st minute.
The scoreline flattered Rizespor, who had 60% of the possession but managed only 11 shots to Göztepe's 25, and four on target to 10. Göztepe picked up five yellow cards to Rizespor's one, and the visitors never looked fully comfortable in protecting their advantage.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Göztepe 49%, the draw 28%, Rizespor 23%. It finished Göztepe 2–2 Rizespor.
Göztepe's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Göztepe are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Göztepe's 49%. The draw at 28% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Göztepe at 49%?
Göztepe sit 57 points higher on our strength rating — 1667 to 1610. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.4% of 10,491 such games.
Why only 49%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Göztepe's column. Across 11,218 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Rizespor win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,162. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
A 16-point possession gap between near-equal sides is unusual. Gaps this extreme are too rare to receipt — around 370 measured games, under our 300-game floor — so it's noted at 0 points. Göztepe sit -0.33 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
