Cebrail Karayel struck first for Altay in the 33rd minute on a feed from André Poko, then Andreas Cornelius tied it up for Trabzonspor in the 51st minute on a feed from Anastasios Bakasetas Finally they completed the comback in the 88th minute on a goal by Andreas Cornelius to cap off a wild match.

İstanbul Başakşehir is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Danijel Aleksić and Stefano Okaka each having 2 goals in their last 5. Trabzonspor is fortunate enough to have Andreas Cornelius in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
