Kasımpaşa made more of their chances to pull level with Beşiktaş

Marcus Rafferty's 87th-minute equaliser rescued a point for Kasımpaşa, who had been two behind, and the chances tell a sharper story than the possession.

Beşiktaş looked set to head home with the points when Dušan Vlahović made it two goals to nil at 47 minutes, barely a minute after the restart. Cláudio Winck pulled one back at 60, and Rafferty's goal at 87 turned a game that seemed settled into a share of the points. A late equaliser is the moment everyone will remember, but the chances suggest it was earned rather than lucky.

Beşiktaş had the ball for 58% of the match, which is less than they usually manage away from home, where their average is 61.4%. Kasımpaşa's 42% sits close to their usual 43.2% at home, so the home side kept to its normal shape. Possession alone would have suggested a comfortable visit for the away side, and that is not quite what happened.

Shots are where the match looked different. Beşiktaş managed 8, against an away average of 16.5, which is roughly half their usual output. Kasımpaşa took 16, well above the 11.1 they average at home, and a good share of those came from close range. Expected goals, a rough score for the quality of each chance, shows Kasımpaşa ahead of their normal level, while Beşiktaş's chances, at 1.26, sat below their usual 1.68.

Leandro Trossard was the visitors' most dangerous player. He had four shots, two of them on target, and his goal at 28 minutes was set up by R. Yilmaz. His rating of 8.6 was the highest on either side, and it reflects a player who kept finding space in the final third. Vlahović's goal at 47, with Amir Murillo's assist, doubled the lead before Kasımpaşa had settled after the break.

On the home side, Winck's goal at 60 came from a pass by Haris Hajradinović, and Rafferty's late finish was set up by Kerem Demirbay. Demirbay also created four chances, the passes that lead directly to a shot, which was the most of anyone in the Kasımpaşa side. Both defences were looser than their averages, since each gave up chances of more quality than usual, and neither side kept its usual shape at the back.

Beşiktaş conceded two goals against an average of 1.3, and Kasımpaşa scored two against their usual 1.4, so the goals were close to normal for both sides. Four goals in the match is a little above the league's average of 3.1 per game, which makes it lively without being out of the ordinary. The match was ordinary in its goals and unusual in how the chances were shared.

What the draw leaves behind is a table in which Kasımpaşa sit seventh on 16 points, while Beşiktaş are fourth on 18.
