Match Recap
Florian Aye settled this Süper Lig contest early, converting in the 26th minute to hand Kocaelispor a hard-earned 1-0 home win over Samsunspor. It was clinical, efficient football from the hosts, who now sit seventh with six points from three games, winning two of them in a run of form that reads WWL. Samsunspor, meanwhile, remain in a patchy stretch of their own — a loss, a win, a draw — and drop to tenth on four points. The two clubs had met just once before in recent memory, that match ending level, so Kocaelispor finally have a win to show from this fixture. Neither side had a scorer anywhere near Victor Osimhen at the top of the Süper Lig charts, where the league leader sits on 18 goals, but Aye needed only one to do the job. Rewatch the 26th-minute strike that broke the deadlock and sent Kocaelispor climbing.
