Kocaelispor vs Samsunspor

Kocaelispor made it back-to-back Süper Lig wins, edging Samsunspor 1-0 at home in a tight Week 4 clash. The lone goal came early and proved decisive, with the home crowd at Kocaeli Stadium seeing their new forward mark himself as an instant hero. Florian Aye broke the deadlock in the 26th minute, turning home a low cross from Gonçalo Sousa from close range to beat goalkeeper Okan Kocuk — his first goal for the club since arriving on loan, and it came in just his second appearance. Kocaelispor threatened earlier too, with Emre forcing a save inside the opening ten minutes, while Samsunspor pushed back through Jarju and Haidara, both denied without finding an equalizer. No red cards or penalties disrupted the contest. The win lifts Kocaelispor up to 3rd place with 9 points from four matches, a strong early platform under coach Selçuk İnan. Samsunspor, meanwhile, slip to 13th with just 4 points, still searching for consistency after a rocky start to the campaign.
