Pendikspor lost a man at 55 minutes, when Taha Emre İnce was sent off, and played the rest of the match with ten. A 2-2 draw can look like a point rescued in the final minute, but the figures show a more particular picture: the visitors created far more than usual, and the hosts still scored twice. Kayserispor levelled from the penalty spot three minutes after the sending off, and the decisive moments came at the end, when Daniel Moreno put the visitors ahead in the 90th minute and Muhamed Kiprit equalised from a penalty confirmed after a VAR review.

Possession is not a score, but the swing here is large enough to matter. Kayserispor had 67% of the ball, well above their season average of 57.4%, while Pendikspor had 33% at home, far below their usual 55.6%. Both clubs were pushed well away from their normal pattern, and the ten-man hosts were the side that had to live with it.

The chances tell the same story. Kayserispor took 25 shots against their usual 14.3, and 18 of them came from inside the box. Their expected goals figure, a rough measure of how likely each chance was to go in, reached 4.24 against an average of 2.43. Pendikspor's own expected goals, 1.35, was also high for them, compared with a usual 0.61 at home, and both of their goals came from penalties.

Pendikspor conceded two goals, close to their home average of 1.9, which sounds ordinary until you look at what they faced. Their normal expected goals against is 1.84, so the chances the visitors made were far above what this defence usually allows. Kayserispor scored two, just under their away average of 2.3, which means the goals were close to normal while the quality of the chances was not.

Daniel Moreno was the visitors' most dangerous player, with five shots, five key passes and the late goal that put his side ahead. His rating of 8.2 is the clearest sign of that. For Pendikspor, H. Yeşil kept working while a man short, winning five individual duels and making three key passes, a reminder of how much a side with ten men asks of everyone on the pitch.

Kayserispor sit top of the table on 26 points from 11 matches, and they have won five of their last six. Pendikspor are 18th on 10 points from the same number of games, and they have lost three of their last six.
