Late Twist Sees Fenerbahçe Held 1-1 by Kasımpaşa in Kadıköy
fenerbahçe were held to a 1-1 draw by Kasımpaşa in the 23rd week of the Trendyol Süper Lig at Chobani Stadı, a match defined by multiple stoppage-time moments and disciplinary action. The result matters now because late rulings and injuries shaped a scoreline that left Fenerbahçe two points behind the league leader and handed Kasımpaşa a valuable point.
Chobani Stadı: scoreline, added time and decisive minutes
The match in Kadıköy finished 1-1. Marco Asensio put Fenerbahçe ahead in stoppage time—recorded as a 90+5 strike in one account—only for Kasımpaşa’s equaliser to arrive within the added minutes, noted at 90+10 in one report and at 90+11 in another. Refereeing decisions and the length of stoppage time were central: the second half included 8 minutes of added time and the late goals came inside that window.
Marco Asensio: goal, celebration and a yellow card
Marco Asensio scored for Fenerbahçe in the final added minutes, a finish that briefly put the home side in front. He was thereafter shown a yellow card for removing his shirt. That sequence—goal then booking—altered the emotional momentum, providing a lift that did not hold because Kasımpaşa responded shortly after.
Mortadha Ben Ouanes: second yellow, sending off and the earlier caution
Kasımpaşa were reduced to 10 men when Mortadha Ben Ouanes received a second yellow and a red card at 90+3 for a challenge on Yiğit Efe Demir; one account specifies the dismissal followed a tackle on Demir. An earlier note records that Ben Quares picked up a first yellow at 82' for dissent—an entry that aligns with the second-yellow dismissal sequence and highlights the disciplinary thread running through the closing stages.
Fenerbahçe line-up and Kasımpaşa XI
Fenerbahçe started with Ederson, Semedo, Çağlar, Oosterwolde, Levent, İsmail, Guendouzi, Musaba, Asensio, Nene and Talisca. Kasımpaşa’s eleven listed Gianniotis, Kamil Ahmet, Arous, Opoku, Frimpong, Baldursson, İrfan Can, Diabate, Ben Ouanes, Benedyczak and Cenk Tosun. Key disciplinary moments earlier in stoppage time included a yellow card for Guendouzi for dissent and a yellow for Asensio tied to his celebration; at 86' Cafu was booked for a foul on Fred.
Injuries to Çağlar Söyüncü and Jayden Oosterwolde
The fixture also carried physical consequences: Çağlar Söyüncü and Jayden Oosterwolde were both recorded as having been injured during the match. Those setbacks add a layer of concern to the late equaliser and the red card, as personnel issues now follow the result into the club’s preparations for the next round.
Standings impact, next fixtures and coaching reactions
The draw took Fenerbahçe to 53 points and left the gap to league leader Galatasaray at two points; Kasımpaşa rose to 20 points. The timing matters because Galatasaray lost at Konyaspor in the same week, meaning Fenerbahçe had an opportunity to close the gap on the leaders but failed to capitalise. Upcoming fixtures listed for both sides are an away visit to Antalyaspor for Fenerbahçe and a home match against Çaykur Rizespor for Kasımpaşa.
Manager comments captured the mood: Domenico Tedesco said, "Bu maçı kazanamamak çok üzücü, " while Kasımpaşa’s Emre Belözoğlu described the outcome as "Önemli 1 puan. " A headline that circulated after the game framed the reaction bluntly: "Şok Fenerbahçe sözleri: Kayıp 2 puan şampiyonluktan eder. "
What makes this notable is how a flurry of stoppage-time events—two late goals, a sending-off and a string of bookings—combined to alter the title picture and leave both clubs immediately recalibrating for the next round.
Other ancillary items present in the match coverage included an opening promotional line about discounted books and a notice titled "Kişisel Verilere İlişkin Aydınlatma Metni, " elements that appeared alongside the sporting dispatch.
