Gaziantep FK vs Rizespor

Rizespor left Gaziantep with all three points, edging out a 1-2 road win that looked comfortable for long stretches before a nervy finish. The visitors did their damage early, scoring twice inside the opening 35 minutes, then survived a stoppage-time twist to close it out. Emrecan Bulut opened the scoring in the 12th minute off a Mithat Pala assist, then turned provider himself to set up Ali Sowe for a 35th-minute finish making it 2-0. Gaziantep pushed for a way back and finally got a goal in the 90+1st minute, though it came off Zakaria Ariss's own boot into his own net. Bookings went to Attila Mocsi for the hosts, and to Dal Varesanovic and substitute Enver Kulasin for Rizespor. The result lifts Rizespor after their opening loss to Samsunspor, giving them fresh momentum. Gaziantep, meanwhile, sees its unbeaten start end, with first-half defensive lapses proving costly against a clinical away side.
