Akintola, meanwhile, was also handed his 15th league start in the encounter and gave a good account of himself but could not save Omer Erdogan’s side from their sixth defeat of the campaign. The game started with both sides aiming to find the back of the net but despite their efforts, the first half ended 0-0. After the restart of the game, following the half-time break, Zeki Yavru broke the deadlock, hitting his effort beyond the reach of goalkeeper Akin Alkan to give Yeni Malatyaspor the lead. Adem Buyuk then doubled the lead for Hamza Hamzaoglu’s men in the 77th minute, converting his effort from the penalty spot.
