In this week 30 match on Mar 19th, Göztepe will host Alanyaspor at Bornova Doğanlar Stadı in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams.

Halil Akbunar struck first for Göztepe in the 31st minute, then in the 34th minute, Andreas Cornelius sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Anthony Nwakaeme But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 49th minute on a goal by Djaniny Tavares. Göztepe is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Alanyaspor recorded a 2-5 loss against Fenerbahçe. Diego Rossi struck first for Fenerbahçe in the 26th minute on a feed from Altay Bayindir, then Mesut Özil added another in the 50th minute on a penalty.
