Two penalties decided Ümraniyespor's win over Kayserispor

Ümraniyespor beat Kayserispor at home after two spot kicks, though the visitors had more of the ball and more of the shooting.

Two penalties settled this match, and the second one came as Kayserispor were trying to get back into it. Ümraniyespor, at home, led from the 40th minute, when Tomislav Glumac scored from Alejandro Blanco's pass. At 72 minutes a VAR review (a second official checking replays on video) confirmed a penalty for the home side, and Cebio Soukou scored it at 74. Florent Hasani pulled one back from the spot at 90, after VAR had also confirmed a penalty for Kayserispor, but there was no time left for an equaliser.

Kayserispor had more of the ball, with 56% against a season average of 58.3%, so they had slightly less of it than usual. Their shooting was also below normal, with 12 attempts against an average of 14.7 per match, although 6 of those went on target. Ümraniyespor had 44% of the possession, under their usual 47.2%, but their 10 shots were close to the 9.6 they normally take.

Shots do not tell the whole story, so it helps to look at expected goals, or xG, a score that gives each chance a value based on how often similar chances end in goals. Kayserispor's chances added up to 1.99, well below their usual 2.85 but above the league average of 1.34 for a side in a match. Ümraniyespor's 1.45 was above both their own normal of 0.99 and that league figure. In other words, the home side created better chances than they usually do while having less of the ball.

Ümraniyespor's goals were also above their usual level, with 2 scored against an average of 1.2. The defensive picture is less comfortable for them: they conceded 2 goals against a normal of 0.8, and Kayserispor's chances were worth more than the 1.06 they usually allow. Goalkeeper C. Topaloğlu made 4 saves and was one of the home side's better performers, rated 7.5. The visitors could not turn their chances into goals, scoring 1 against a season average of 2.6.

Florent Hasani was the visitors' most productive attacker, scoring from the spot and creating three chances for team-mates, and he was rated 7.4. Blanco was involved in the first goal and won five individual battles, which was the most of any Ümraniyespor player. Neither side had a player sent off, but Kayserispor picked up four bookings to the home side's three, which is a small detail given how much of the match was decided by penalties.

Ümraniyespor sit 14th in the table, with 14 points from 12 matches. Over their last six games they have won three, drawn two and lost one. Kayserispor are second, with 30 points from 13 matches, having won nine, drawn three and lost only once. Their last six have brought four wins and two draws, with no defeats, and they now have only one defeat in their league season so far.
