Various' — Yellow cards
İstanbulspor pick up three yellow cards as they attempt to stifle Erzurumspor's attacks.
İstanbulspor
İstanbulspor set up defensively from the outset, conceding the lion's share of possession and struggling to transition into attack. Their 4-1-4-1 formation was compact but reactive, and the hosts rarely threatened Matija Orbanić's goal, finishing with just one shot on target. The backline, marshaled by Emrecan Uzunhan and Duran Sahin, held firm for most of the match, but the team’s attacking limitations were exposed as they failed to create meaningful chances. Three yellow cards highlighted their desperate attempts to disrupt Erzurumspor's rhythm.

Tactical Analysis
Both teams lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, but Erzurumspor FK’s superior technical quality and midfield organization allowed them to dictate the tempo. The visitors pressed high and circulated the ball efficiently, stretching İstanbulspor’s defensive lines and probing for openings, especially through the creative play of Rodríguez and Crociata. İstanbulspor, meanwhile, sat deep with a compact block, relying on their midfield shield and back four to absorb pressure. Set pieces offered little respite for the hosts, who managed just one corner, while Erzurumspor’s three corners and frequent forays down the flanks eventually wore down the resistance. Substitutions and tactical tweaks from İstanbulspor failed to spark a turnaround, as their transitions remained slow and their attacking players isolated. Erzurumspor’s patience and width finally paid dividends late on, as they found the breakthrough their dominance deserved.
Turning Point
Martín Rodríguez’s 84th-minute goal broke the deadlock and rewarded Erzurumspor’s sustained attacking pressure.
