The local squad, Antalyaspor, was gunning to snag some points to climb up from mid-table to potential European spots. That's why facing Trabzonspor, holding the third spot, was the team to beat – the goal they needed, with an eight-point lead. On the flip side, Trabzonspor wanted to capitalize on Galatasaray's stumble to get closer to the second place.

It was a tight game with both defenses playing hard to score points. Not much action from either side in a league that has tightened up in mid-table positions over time. The visitors seized the opportunity in the second minute to score a goal, then sat back while the home team kept attacking until they secured the equalizer in the 68th minute.

The match ended with a ceasefire, both teams settling things amicably and splitting points to maintain their respective standings. Antalyaspor aims to make moves in mid-table, while Trabzonspor continues the fight for European spots.
