ISTANBUL (Interstat) — Sariyer delivered a devastating first-half performance to crush a historically struggling Adana Demirspor 5-0 in a Turkish 1. Lig match on Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, at Yusuf Ziya Öniş Stadyumu.

The match was effectively decided within the opening half-hour, with Sariyer scoring four times to demoralize a visiting side that finished the match with 10 men. The result extended Adana Demirspor’s winless run across all competitions to 28 matches this season.

Sariyer’s offensive onslaught began almost immediately. Forward Enver Kulašin opened the scoring in the 7th minute, capitalizing on early pressure. Just two minutes later, defender Cebrail Karayel doubled the advantage, highlighting a disastrous start for the visitors.

The home side showed no mercy. Midfielder Marcos Silva added a third goal in the 21st minute, and fellow midfielder Batuhan Kör made it 4-0 by the 30th minute, completing a breathtakingly one-sided opening period. Adana Demirspor’s misery was compounded in first-half stoppage time when Murat Eser was shown a red card just before the break, forcing his team to play the entire second half a man down.

The second half offered little respite. Sariyer midfielder Aytaç Kara added a fifth goal in the 72nd minute to complete the rout. Assists on the day were provided by Ömer Bayram, Hasan Emre Yeşilyurt and Hamidou Traoré. All three were later shown yellow cards in a match that grew increasingly fractious as it progressed.

The lopsided victory defied the pre-match projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had predicted a 1-1 draw. However, it aligned with the same service’s ELO rating, which gave Sariyer a 92.2 percent probability to win.

For Adana Demirspor, the defeat is another bleak entry in a catastrophic season. The club remains without a victory in 1. Lig play, with a record of 0 wins, 24 losses and 3 draws following this match. Their overall record across all competitions fell to 0-25-3. The team has now been outscored 32-0 in its last four league matches, with previous losses of 7-0, 5-0 and 7-0. The last meeting between these two sides on Sept. 29, 2025, also ended in a 3-0 victory for Sariyer.

Sariyer, which improved its league record to 10-13-4, demonstrated a ruthless edge that has been inconsistent this season. The five-goal margin represents their largest victory of the campaign and provides a significant boost ahead of a challenging schedule.

Adana Demirspor will look to find any positive momentum in its next match, a home fixture against Pendikspor on Sunday, March 1. Sariyer travels to face Sakaryaspor on the same date.
