ADANA, Turkiye (Interstat) — Giorgi Kvernadze’s second-half strike was the difference as Adanaspor continued its strong league form with a 1-0 victory over Buyuksehir BESK in a TFF 1. Lig match on Saturday.

The match, part of the league’s Week 32 schedule, was played before a home crowd at Yeni Adana Stadyumu. The result solidifies Adanaspor’s position as a formidable side in the competition, extending their unbeaten run in the league to seven matches. They now hold a record of five wins and two draws in 1. Lig play this season. In contrast, Buyuksehir BESK struggled to find momentum, managing only one win in their four league outings.

The first half was a cagey, physical affair that produced more yellow cards than clear scoring chances. Buyuksehir BESK’s Tobías Reinhart was booked in the 23rd minute, followed by teammate Matteo Rover in the 39th. Adanaspor, despite controlling possession, was unable to break down a disciplined visiting defense before the break.

The decisive moment arrived in the 57th minute. The buildup involved multiple Adanaspor players, with substitutes Charlys and Tobías Reinhart, along with midfielder Francesco Gelli, all credited with an assist on the sequence. The final pass, however, came from defender Gabriele Bracaglia, who found Kvernadze in space. The forward made no mistake, slotting home calmly to give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish.

Buyuksehir BESK offered little in response, failing to register a goal. Their frustration manifested in further discipline issues, as Adanaspor’ Francesco Gelli (69th minute), Charlys (74th minute), and Gabriele Bracaglia (79th minute) all received yellow cards as the home side managed the game to its conclusion.

The outcome defied some pre-match projections. Interstat’s game simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw, while its ELO rating system gave Buyuksehir BESK a slight probability edge to win at 50.6 percent. Adanaspor’s performance, however, rendered those forecasts moot.

Adanaspor’s league campaign stands in stark contrast to its overall season record across all competitions, which includes 10 losses. Their focus and efficiency in the domestic league were on full display Saturday. The team will look to carry this form into a busy schedule, with a match against Menemenspor next on the calendar later Saturday.

Buyuksehir BESK, meanwhile, must regroup quickly. They are scheduled to face Manisa FK on Sunday in their next 1. Lig fixture, seeking to improve upon a record that now shows one win, two losses and one draw in the league.
