Intro:

Gaziantepspor beat relegation-threatened Caykur Rizespor 1-0 on Monday (22nd December) in the Turkish Super Lig.

Script:

Caykur Rizespor hosted Gaziantepspor in the Turkish Super Lig in a battle of the league struggling sides.

The hosts had lost their last five in the league while the visitors were on a four-game losing streak.

Rizespor went close through Sezer Ozmen's.

The defender's header had the keeper, yet not the crossbar beaten.

That miss was compounded shortly after as Gaziantepspor took the lead.

Mustafa Durak the quickest to react to Muhammat Dermit's flick on.

That being Gaziantepspor's first league goal since November 7th.

As the game entered the second half, Durak looked hungry for more.

However this time the post denied the Frenchman, the game petered out from there as both sides picked up red cards.

Altinay first for Rizespor, then Costly too for a second yellow, Having been on the pitch just 10 minutes, the 1-0 win sees Gaziantepspor move up to 10th, while Rizespor remain second from bottom.
