CASTELLAMMARE DI STABIA, Italy (Interstat) — In a chaotic and dramatic finish that defied pregame projections, Tuzlaspor and Eyupspor played to a 3-3 draw in a Turkish 1. Lig match on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026. The match, part of the league’s Week 35 schedule, was contested at Stadio Comunale Romeo Menti, a neutral site, and featured five goals in a frantic final 40 minutes.

The result left both teams with identical 2-2-2 records in 1. Lig play this season. Eyupspor’s overall record across all competitions moved to 5-12-7, while Tuzlaspor’s stands at 3-2-4.

The match was a tale of two halves, with the intensity boiling over early. Eyupspor’s Marco Perrotta received a yellow card just one minute into the contest, setting a combative tone. The first half concluded without a goal but with three additional cautions.

The deadlock was broken five minutes after the restart. Eyupspor midfielder Kevin Zeroli scored in the 50th minute to give his side the lead. Tuzlaspor responded forcefully, with substitute Filippo Sgarbi equalizing in the 70th minute. The visitors then surged ahead just ten minutes later, as forward Rareș-Cătălin Burnete found the net to make it 2-1.

Eyupspor, however, mounted a stunning late comeback. Substitute Alessandro Capelli, who entered the match in the second half, scored in the 86th minute to level the score at 2-2. The comeback was completed three minutes later when another substitute, Mattia Bortolussi, put Eyupspor ahead 3-2 in the 89th minute, seemingly securing a dramatic victory.

Tuzlaspor refused to capitulate. In a final twist, Capelli turned provider, assisting on a last-gasp equalizer by teammate Alessandro Gabrielloni in stoppage time to secure a share of the points for Tuzlaspor. The frantic conclusion was underscored by late yellow cards to Eyupspor’s Manuel Ricciardi and Tuzlaspor’s Alessandro Capelli in the extended added time.

The match defied the pregame analytics. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a narrow 1-0 victory for Eyupspor, while its ELO rating system gave Tuzlaspor a slight 52.3 percent probability to win outright. Instead, the teams combined for a six-goal spectacle.

Eyupspor faces a quick turnaround, scheduled to host Rams Başakşehir FK in a Turkish Super Lig contest on Sunday. Tuzlaspor’s next match is on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, away against Altay in 1. Lig play.
