In the keenly contested affair at the Hatay New Stadium, Antakya, it was the visitors who took a 33rd-minute lead through Artem Kravets. Profiting from some shambolic defending from the hosts, the Ukrainian forward headed a pass from Nejc Skubic past goalkeeper Munir. While it appeared like Konyaspor would be heading into the half-time break with a goal advantage, Boupendza equalised for the hosts in the 43rd minute. Left unmarked outside the goal area, the 24-year-old curled in a beauty past goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic. In the second half, both teams came out stronger but their inability to convert begging chances ensured that scores remained 1-1 for a while.
