In the Turkish Cup game, Istanbul Basaksehir secured a 1-0 victory over MKE Ankaragucu. It was a once goal led game with Basaksehir scoring in the second half at 01:34:41, which became the decisive and only goal of the match.

Disciplinal actions were certainly a highlight in this game. Istanbul Basaksehir received a high count of six yellow cards compared to Ankaragucu's single yellow card. Four out of these six came in the first half, two of which were quite close together at the end of the half. Basaksehir's growing indiscipline didn't taper in the second half as they collected two more yellow cards leading to one player being sent off the pitch after a second booking. This extended period playing a man short didn't hamper their efforts in winning the game but could have added significant pressure to the team's defense in the latter stages of the match.

Corner kicks are often a good reflection of a team's attacking pressure and Istanbul Basaksehir asserted their attacking dominance in the game, with five corner kicks compared to just two from Ankaragucu. Meanwhile, both teams went offside the same number of times, indicating a similar offensive strategy and defensive awareness for both sides.

The teams seemed evenly matched in terms of overall performance despite Basaksehir's victory. The numbers suggest a highly defensive and possibly an aggressive and combative game, with a significant amount of fouls leading to bookings for both teams. Basaksehir managed to maintain their one-goal advantage till the end despite being handicapped with a player down, a testament to their defensive strength.

Moving forward, Istanbul Basaksehir would need to work on their discipline, as the high card count signals that they were often on the back foot in handling Ankaragucu's advances, a situation that might lead to them conceding in a game with a stronger offensive force. As for Ankaragucu, they would need to raise their attacking game, as noted by the corner kick statistics, capitalize on opponents' errors, and score to get ahead in future matches.

Although Istanbul Basaksehir clutched the victory, both teams evidently have improvements to partake on. The key factors in the game were discipline and the strength in defensive lines, which ultimately led to Basaksehir taking home the win.
