Yeni Amasya Spor came from behind to beat Karabuk Idman 2-1 in the Turkish Third League on Sunday, securing a hard-fought away victory that keeps their season on track. Karabuk Idman had taken an early lead, but the visitors responded with two unanswered goals to turn the match around and take all three points.
Match Overview
The home side started brightly, pressing aggressively and winning several early set-pieces. Their positive approach was rewarded midway through the first half when Emre Çelik found the net with a composed finish. Karabuk Idman continued to look the more likely side to score again, but they were unable to convert their territorial advantage into a second goal before the break.
Yeni Amasya Spor regrouped at half-time and emerged with far more purpose. They equalised shortly after the restart and then grew in confidence, eventually finding a late winner that silenced the home crowd. It was a classic away performance: absorb pressure, stay patient, and strike when the moment arrives.
Key Moments
- 23rd minute – 1-0 Karabuk Idman: Emre Çelik pounced on a loose ball inside the box and slotted past the goalkeeper.
- 54th minute – 1-1: Burak Yılmaz levelled for Yeni Amasya Spor with a curling effort from the edge of the area.
- 88th minute – 1-2: Onur Kaya headed home a late corner to complete the comeback and send the travelling supporters into raptures.
Tactical Story
Karabuk Idman lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and looked to dominate possession through the middle, but their final ball lacked quality after the opening goal. Yeni Amasya Spor switched to a more direct 4-4-2 in the second half, targeting the channels and using their physical strikers to hold up play. The tactical shift worked perfectly: Amasya’s midfield pushed higher, forcing Karabuk into deeper positions and creating the set-piece opportunity that decided the game.
Standout Players
Onur Kaya was the hero for Yeni Amasya Spor, not only for his late winner but also for his relentless work rate in midfield. Burak Yılmaz’s equaliser changed the momentum, while centre-back Serkan Demir was solid at the back. For Karabuk Idman, Emre Çelik impressed with his movement and finishing, but the team’s inability to kill the game proved costly.
Table Impact
The win gives Yeni Amasya Spor a valuable boost in the Turkish Third League table, while Karabuk Idman are left to rue a missed opportunity on home soil. With the season still unfolding, both sides will know that fine margins such as these often decide promotion and relegation battles. Amasya travel next with renewed belief, while Karabuk must regroup quickly.
