The encounter at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium concluded in a 1-1 stalemate, as both Kasımpaşa and Trabzonspor managed to score once each.
With this outcome, Trabzonspor’s run of three consecutive victories came to a halt. On the other hand, Kasımpaşa’s manager Burak Yılmaz, serving a suspension, observed the action from the stands rather than the technical area.
The home side took the lead in the 18th minute when Batagov deflected the ball into his own net following a shot by Aytaç Kara.
Trabzonspor responded early in the second half, as Danylo Sikan scored a stunning long-range goal in the 47th minute to level the match.
After 32 rounds in the Turkish Süper Lig, Trabzonspor now sits 8th on the table with 46 points, thanks to 12 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses.
Meanwhile, Kasımpaşa, with 10 wins, 13 draws, and 9 defeats, climbed to 9th place on goal difference with 43 points.
Notably, the game was attended by Turkish national team head coach Vincenzo Montella.
Prior to kickoff, Kasımpaşa Vice President Orhan Yüksel presented a bouquet of flowers to Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan.
In a touching moment, the parents of Mattia Ahmet Minguzzi, who was tragically stabbed to death in Kadıköy, were also present in the stands.
Trabzonspor fans honoured him with a banner that read, “Düşleri asi bordo loş mavi selam sana Ahmet Minguzzi”, which roughly translates to “Dreams rebellious, claret dim blue, we salute you, Ahmet Minguzzi.”
