ISTANBUL (Interstat) — In a stunning reversal of pregame projections, visiting Adanaspor delivered a commanding 3-1 victory over Pendikspor in a TFF First League match on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at Siltaş Yapı Pendik Stadyumu.

The result defied statistical forecasts, which heavily favored the home side. Despite Pendikspor entering the match with a stronger league position and an Elo rating system giving them a 90.6 percent probability to win, Adanaspor executed a clinical performance to secure three critical points.

Adanaspor established control early. Substitute forward Andrea Adorante opened the scoring in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to put the visitors ahead. The momentum firmly shifted to Adanaspor just before halftime when midfielder Natan Girma doubled the lead in the 39th minute, finishing a well-constructed team move.

Any hope of a Pendikspor comeback was effectively extinguished early in the second half. Girma turned provider, setting up fellow substitute Michael Svoboda for Adanaspor’s third goal in the 57th minute, showcasing the depth and impact of the visiting team’s bench.

Pendikspor, which had been organized and effective in recent weeks, found itself unraveling. The home side’s frustrations culminated in a red card shown to Joël Schingtienne in the 69th minute, reducing them to 10 men and cementing Adanaspor’s numerical and tactical advantage for the remainder of the contest.

Pendikspor managed a consolation goal in second-half stoppage time from substitute John Yeboah, assisted by Michael Venturi, but it did little to alter the match’s decisive outcome. The match was also marked by yellow cards for Adanaspor’s Girma in first-half stoppage time and Venturi in the final moments.

The victory marks a significant achievement for Adanaspor within the context of its season. The team improved its First League record to three wins and one draw, with no losses, a stark contrast to its more inconsistent form across all competitions. The win also serves as a powerful response to a lopsided 5-0 defeat to Arnavutkoy in its previous league outing just weeks prior.

For Pendikspor, the loss represents a missed opportunity to solidify its standing. The home side, which had won 11 of its first 18 league matches, was unable to break down a resolute Adanaspor defense for the majority of the match and was punished for its errors.

Adanaspor will look to build on this momentum with a quick turnaround, facing Elazig SK in a Kadinlar 2. Ligi match on Sunday. Their next First League challenge is a visit from Erzurumspor FK on Jan. 24. Pendikspor, aiming to rebound, is scheduled to host Bodrumspor on Sunday in its next fixture.
