Bursaspor had the better chances but could not turn them into a win

Antalyaspor 1-1 Bursaspor: Bursaspor created more, but an own goal before half-time kept Antalyaspor in the game.

Antalyaspor had 46% of the ball at home here, and they usually have 61.3%. That is a long way below their normal share, yet they left with a point. The explanation lies in expected goals, a rough measure of how good each shot was, judged by where it was taken from. Their 0.64 is about half their usual figure of 1.25.

Bursaspor were the side that made the better chances. Their expected goals came out at 1.4, which is in line with their usual away figure. In other words, they created what they normally create on the road. Yet they scored only once, against an average of 2.5 goals a game away from home.

The goal came in the 26th minute, when Kelechi Iheanacho finished a move that Amine Boutrah started. Iheanacho took five of Bursaspor's ten shots, so much of their attacking ran through him. Boutrah finished with a rating of 7.5, the highest mark on either side's list of players, and he earned it through the assist.

The equaliser came on the stroke of half-time, when an own goal at the 45th minute levelled the score at 1-1. Antalyaspor's shooting was not the problem, since they had eleven attempts, matching their usual count. The trouble was quality: only four of those shots were on target, and their chances were worth less than usual.

Bursaspor's goalkeeper, K. Matisli, made four saves, and his side took six corners to Antalyaspor's one. Bursaspor had 54% of the ball, below their usual 59.9%, and still won far more set pieces. Antalyaspor committed 20 fouls to Bursaspor's seven, which shows how often they had to stop the visitors by other means.

Pedrinho was Antalyaspor's best-rated player at 7.2, and he created three chances for team-mates through key passes, which are passes that lead directly to a shot. He was one of the few home players who regularly carried the ball into dangerous areas. The result leaves Antalyaspor with a point they might not have expected from the chances they made.

The points were shared at 1-1, with two goals in total. The league averages 2.9 goals per match, so this was a quieter afternoon than the division usually produces.
