In the 45+6th minute of a Trendyol 1. Lig match that carried direct weight in the promotion race, Bursaspor defender Tural Bayramov sent the ball into his own net from outside the penalty area, giving Antalyaspor a 1-1 draw at home in the 14th week of the season, Sözcü reported. The goal arrived seconds before halftime and stood out precisely because of its distance: unlike the close-range scrambles that usually produce own goals, the ball traveled from beyond the box into the Bursaspor net.
The match ended 1-1, with no winner. Bursaspor moved to 32 points and, with one match more played, remained atop the standings, while Antalyaspor sits seventh with 20 points, also with an extra match played.
How the 45+6 Own Goal Unfolded
According to Hürriyet’s minute-by-minute account, the sequence began in midfield: Antalyaspor’s Van de Streek played a pass to Mevlüt on the right wing, and Mevlüt’s cross into the area was met by Bayramov, whose attempted clearance or defensive touch beat his own goalkeeper into the net. Son Dakika described the strike as one rarely seen in football, noting that the ball did not result from a goalmouth scramble but from outside the penalty area, which is what made the moment so unusual.
Bayramov was substituted in the 79th minute, according to the match report published by beIN Sports Türkiye.
A Match of Chances at Both Ends
Antalyaspor took the lead first. In the 26th minute, Boutrah drove down the left flank and squared the ball into the box, and Iheanacho — listed by beIN Sports among Bursaspor’s scorers for the match, though the goal was credited to Bursaspor’s tally before the equalizer — finished to make it 0-1, Hürriyet reported.
Both sides had chances to change the score. In the 32nd minute, Soner’s through ball found Boutrah on the left, but Iheanacho’s shot from the resulting cross went narrowly wide. Early in the second half, in the 49th minute, Mevlüt’s hard strike from the right went over the bar. In the 73rd minute, Boutrah won the ball high up after a press from Baker and struck from inside the area, but the shot hit the post, Hürriyet reported.
What the Draw Means in the Title Race
The point split keeps the top of the table intact. Bursaspor’s 32 points leave the club still leading the Trendyol 1. Lig with one match more played than its rivals, while Antalyaspor’s 20 points place it seventh, also with an extra fixture completed. The draw denied either side a win in a match the league leaders needed to stay clear at the summit.
