Kasımpaşa 0-0 Konyaspor | Super Lig | 18 September 2026

Result Summary

A tense and at times fractious encounter at Kasımpaşa's ground ended in a goalless draw, with neither side able to find the breakthrough despite a combined 24 shots across 90 minutes. The result means both teams take a share of the spoils in what proved to be a hard-fought Super Lig contest.

Match Analysis

From the outset, the game carried a competitive edge that quickly translated into disciplinary trouble. Kasımpaşa collected three yellow cards before the half-hour mark, with Matei Cristian Ilie booked for a foul in the 24th minute, followed by Cláudio Winck Neto and an unnamed team-mate both cautioned for dissent within a three-minute spell around the half hour. Konyaspor were not without blame, as Adil Demirbağ was also shown a yellow before the break.

Despite the ill-discipline, the football itself carried genuine intensity. Kasımpaşa finished the match with 13 total shots to Konyaspor's 11, suggesting both sides pushed to find a winner. However, the conversion into genuine danger was limited — Kasımpaşa managed just 2 shots on target, while Konyaspor produced 4 shots on target, arguably giving them the stronger claim to all three points on the balance of goalscoring opportunities.

Konyaspor edged ball possession at 53% to 47% and matched their hosts in terms of passing efficiency, completing 80% of their passes compared to Kasımpaşa's 77%. With 64 attacks to Kasımpaşa's 62, the visitors were marginally more active in forward areas on aggregate, though Kasımpaşa generated 40 dangerous attacks to Konyaspor's 31 — suggesting Emre Belözoğlu's side were more clinical in their approach play even if the final product was lacking.

The second half brought further bookings and a flurry of substitutions that disrupted both teams' rhythm. Marko Jevtović's yellow card in the 53rd minute led directly to his withdrawal, with Enis Bardhi introduced for Konyaspor shortly after. Kasımpaşa responded with a double change in the 71st minute — Thiemoko Diarra and Ayberk Karapo entering to inject fresh energy — though Karapo himself was booked in the 85th minute. Late introductions of Mostafa Mohamed Ahmed Abdallah and Ebrima Colley gave İlhan Palut's side additional offensive options, but neither could make a decisive impact as the game petered out.

Konyaspor's six yellows across both teams reflects how neither side was prepared to give an inch, with 33 combined fouls recorded — a figure that underlines just how physically combative this match was.

Prediction Review

Our pre-match forecast called for a 1-1 draw, with a 28% probability assigned to the draw outcome overall. While the scoreline didn't align precisely — the match ended goalless rather than level with goals — the draw prediction was correct, and our model deserves credit for identifying the competitive balance between these two sides. With a confidence rating of just 53/100, there was never strong conviction behind any single outcome, and the match statistics reinforce just how evenly matched these teams were.

Key Takeaways

• Discipline was a major issue for both sides, with eight yellow cards distributed across the 90 minutes — three for Kasımpaşa in a chaotic first-half spell.
• Konyaspor had the better goalscoring opportunities on target (4 vs 2), but lacked the clinical finishing to convert their chances.
• Kasımpaşa created more dangerous attacks (40 to 31), pointing to quality in approach play that ultimately went unrewarded.
• Both coaches will acknowledge this was a point gained in a closely contested fixture, though neither side will be entirely satisfied with the outcome.
