In this riveting encounter in the Super Lig between Besiktas and Antalyaspor, the visitors came out on top with a score of 2-1. This was despite Besiktas' commanding display in several statistical categories; although, the failure to convert their dominance into goals eventually proved costly.

The game kicked into action very soon, with Antalyaspor landing a surprising blow only a few minutes from kick-off, precisely at 4 minutes 13 seconds into the first half to draw the lead. They consolidated their lead halfway through the first half with a second goal at the 37th minute, building a substantial edge before the halftime whistle.

Conversely, Besiktas found a breakthrough into the second half, but it only helped to reduce the deficit, scoring at 45 minutes 14 seconds. Despite them managing to recover some ground, they could not surmount the two goal disadvantage established by Antalyaspor in the first half.

In the battle of set-pieces, Besiktas were statistically dominant. They had more corner kicks, with a count of 8 against Antalyaspor's share of 5. However, their effectiveness in utilising these set-piece opportunities fell short, as evidenced by the results.

The discipline or lack thereof, was also a notable factor in this match. With the pressure escalating, the number of fouls escalated, with the visitors committing slightly more fouls (12) compared to the hosts (10). Also, the aggressive tone of the game was reflected in the yellow card distribution: Both teams had several cautions, with Antalyaspor accumulating a total of 3 yellow cards, while Besiktas were just marginally behind with 2 yellow cards.

The offside trap seemed to be a strategical play, used sparingly during the match. Besiktas were caught offside twice, while Antalyaspor fell into the offside trap just once through the ninety-minute encounter.

To summarise the result, while Besiktas had more opportunities from corner kicks and were marginally cleaner when it came to fouls and receiving yellow cards, they fell short in the most crucial aspect: goals. Antalyaspor, on the other hand, despite falling back in certain stats, demonstrated a more clinical performance when it mattered most, securing them the victory. This match illustrates that, ultimately, it's the efficiency in front of the goal that often determines game outcomes.
