A crucial match for Trabzonspor. With Kayserispor's loss against Fenerbahce midweek, the sky blues had a shot to narrow the gap and edge closer to third place. Meanwhile, Başakşehir, in fourteenth, aimed to steer clear of the lower positions.

The game kicked off with a shocker for the home team as Başakşehir took the lead within 10 minutes through a counterattack that found the back of Trabzonspor's net.

Once ahead, the visitors controlled the ball, looking to stretch the game with possession. However, amidst failed clearances from a corner kick, the sky blues found the equalizer through Mendy, heading into halftime at 1-1.

The second half turned into a routine for both teams, cautious due to their circumstances, avoiding much risk. The ball wandered aimlessly around the midfield. It wasn't until the last 10 minutes that things heated up, with both sides making a final push to snatch the win.

Despite their efforts, neither team could break the deadlock, ending the match in a draw. Both sides walked away with a single point, maintaining their status quo: Başakşehir hovering near European spots but unable to climb to third place, while Trabzonspor teeters on the edge.
