Match Recap
Rizespor made the trip to Istanbul's Eyüpspor look routine, controlling Saturday's Süper Lig contest from first chance to final whistle and leaving with a clean 0-2 sheet. A. Sowe opened the scoring in the 21st minute, a strike that carries extra weight given his standing as the seventh-highest scorer in the league this season with ten goals. Eyüpspor, sitting 17th with just three points from five games, offered little to trouble a Rizespor side that has won three of its opening five fixtures and sits comfortably in fifth. The hosts pushed for something in stoppage time but it was Rizespor who struck again, E. Bulut sealing it at 90+2 to put the result beyond all doubt. The two clubs split their only previous pair of meetings, so the bragging rights remain tight, but Rizespor's squad looked a level above on the day. Pull up the highlights and watch Sowe's opener — it's the kind of finish that explains exactly why he belongs in that top-ten conversation.
