Exactly, I was like “Whoa, what’s this!” man, watching them play Çorum’s favorite formation. Even though Kasımpaşa kept pressing right up to the last minutes, Çorum’s midfield, which controlled the tempo, really put its foot down, honestly. The final ten minutes were a solid wall defense; everyone could already feel that a goal wasn’t coming. What I liked most was that striker’s performance—thank goodness! In the last shot he was in open space, but he immediately settled the cross from the wing, and his header was blocked by the defense at the last second. I could feel how tense it was at that moment; the stadium was practically holding its breath.

Getting hammered by Çorum already in the third week of the league is far from uplifting for Kasımpaşa, who look at the crowds with an “auction” mentality, honestly. Against the yellow‑black side that has been playing the “big‑crowd continues” approach for years, Çorum’s organization—especially in the first half, where they made the opponent’s starting eleven sweat on the rival’s pitch—was truly brilliant. While Kasımpaşa kept pressing constantly from the wings, Çorum stayed compact in midfield and kept the opponent’s playmakers under pressure. In the end, at least for now, it was a morale win that can’t be compared to the away game in Edirne. Surprise? Actually we’re in a period where Çorum has shed, at least a bit, the “expected victim” role. Last season they were in the A2 league, they got promoted to this league with a rise no one saw coming, and now they’re taking points from the million‑plus clubs. Kasımpaşa’s integration fell apart in the dying minutes, whereas they themselves have won many times in the last minutes. Of course we shouldn’t be unfair to Kasımpaşa; maybe they got too comfortable with the mismatch or that “superiority” mindset. The mistakes they couldn’t fix at halftime turned into a chain. The flash performance? Everyone knows about Kasımpaşa keeper Sirac Dadaşov’s mistake in the dying minutes, but the real story was Çorum’s centre‑back duo, Okay and Yılmaz, getting their defensive line back on track. As long as they didn’t meet the ball, they cut off Kasımpaşa’s attacks and, with counter‑attacks, kept the opponent on the back foot; that part of Çorum’s game was very professional. If they want to repeat such results in the future, they need to shrink the 90 minutes on the pitch down to 60.

Bro, this is Çorum’s owner in my opinion! 😱 They’re like a championship trophy, and taking down a team like Kasımpaşa away is no easy feat. Throughout the match Kasımpaşa applied serious pressure, especially playing at a high tempo in the first half, but they dropped off in the final minutes. I think it’s not just luck, it’s the fruit of Çorum’s rising form in recent weeks. Look, I watched the Trabzonspor game last week too, and Çorum’s players, especially in midfield, put on an awesome press. Kasımpaşa’s forward runs were creating gaps, and I think Çorum was exactly waiting for that. And who scored the goal, right? Was it Karakuş? I was impressed by that guy’s coolness in the final strikes—honestly, I haven’t seen anyone as relaxed as he was when he scored! For the brightest performance, we need to highlight this guy: who was it, the one in midfield who grabbed the ball and ran the counter‑attacks? Ismailu? Yeah, that guy. His composure with the ball and his leadership in the final move were superb. He’s the one who was tearing Kasımpaşa’s defense apart half the time. Whatever the result, this team has finally started to make a name for itself in the Super League. I think they’ll start the second half like a bomb as well.

You know, Kasımpaşa has been seen all season as a mid‑table side, and honestly, at the start of the season everyone expected Çorum to win. But if you look at the final seconds of the victory, you can see Çorum’s defensive discipline and organized approach kicking in. When these teams are at their weakest, they wander around the edges while the opponent keeps the pressure on until the end—Çorum did exactly that, bro. Even the fact that the first half ended in a draw put a weight on Kasımpaşa’s shoulders, because the guys who walked onto the pitch with a “we’re coming” attitude ran out of steam in the second half. In the end, one of the most experienced guys in this league, Abdülkadir Özdemir, kept the player on the field and maintained high pressure constantly, making it so hard for the opponent to get into the penalty area—let’s say Çorum’s work paid off. In terms of the lineup, we’re probably seeing Burak Kardeş’s last‑minute move; once his experience came into play, the result showed up. We also have to note that Kasımpaşa collapsed on the left wing and became unbalanced when turning the defensive ball. So a surprise? Yeah, but when you combine Çorum’s current set‑up with the opponent’s fatigue factor, that’s the result.

Çorum’s win really comes as a surprise, bro, especially since a team like Kasımpaşa is hard to beat on the road! But the stats show just how much Çorum’s form has surged lately. They’ve racked up four wins in their last five games, and the way they play on the pitch is high‑quality enough to pierce any defense. Kasımpaşa, on the other hand, has only managed one point in their last three matches and their defensive woes are well‑known. That already gave Çorum the edge as soon as they stepped onto the field. One of the most striking details is the away‑win percentages in the Süper Lig. This season the average away‑win rate per team is 22 %, and Çorum’s victory catapults them straight into the ranks of the league’s hottest sides. There’s also data showing Kasımpaşa tires out in the last ten minutes; they used 70 % of their ball‑possession minutes in the first 35 minutes, then the tempo dropped. Besides Abuzer Özdemir’s late‑game goal, Çorum’s pressing game in midfield highlighted how effective the underlying strategy was. My favorite performance came from defensive midfielder Erkan Kaş. He shut down opponent attacks for the full 90 minutes and had a ball‑loss rate of just 2.3 %, doing a really clean job. Looking at numbers like these, it’s clear Çorum isn’t just lucky—they have tactical intelligence, too. What do you think, will this win keep coming?

In my opinion, Çorum beating Kasımpaşa reminded me of that legendary match when Manisa BB knocked out Trabzonspor. It's awesome when a low‑budget team topples a high‑budget one. Conceding a goal in the dying minutes just shows that Kasımpaşa's players were probably exhausted.

I don’t think Çorum’s win was a surprise at all—actually, their form has really picked up in the last few weeks. I even saw their defense in a training session I watched recently; the guys were waiting for the ball really hard and controlled, just like a pick‑and‑roll defense in basketball. You’re saying Kasımpaşa kept trying to score until the very last minute and then lost it empty‑handed—well, it reminded me of that one time in the Süper Lig when Trabzonspor got knocked out in the dying minutes. My favorite player was Çorum’s goalkeeper. With his grip on the ball and quick reflexes, he made at least three saves in that match. Honestly, I do similar reflex drills in basketball training when I’m goalkeeping, and I was blown away by the saves he made. Good thing they didn’t concede that goal in the final minutes.
