In a tense showdown at GAIN Park, Bodrum FK edged past Alanyaspor with a narrow 1-0 victory in the 30th round of the Trendyol Super League on Sunday, April 6, 2025. The match, which kicked off at 13:30 local time, saw Bodrum FK secure crucial points in their fight against relegation.
The only goal of the match came late in the game, with Ali Aytemur finding the net in the 81st minute, delivering a significant blow to Alanyaspor’s hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone. This victory lifted Bodrum FK to 33 points, placing them 14th in the league standings, while Alanyaspor remained in 17th place with 31 points.
Both teams entered the match with high stakes. Alanyaspor, under new management with Joao Pereira at the helm, was desperate to break a four-match losing streak. They had previously parted ways with coach Sami Uğurlu after a series of disappointing results. The pressure was on for the home side to perform in front of their fans.
On the other hand, Bodrum FK, managed by Jose Morais, was looking to bounce back after a tough week that saw them suffer a 4-2 defeat to Fenerbahce and exit the Turkish Cup following a 3-2 loss to Trabzonspor. Both teams were eager to turn their fortunes around in this pivotal match.
The first half was largely uneventful, with both teams struggling to find their rhythm. Alanyaspor had a couple of promising chances, including a near miss from Cordova in the 21st minute, whose shot sailed just over the bar. In the 26th minute, Vilhena’s effort was saved by Bodrum's goalkeeper Sousa, who was tested again shortly after when Vilhena’s header narrowly missed the target.
Despite Alanyaspor's attempts to break the deadlock, the first half ended in a stalemate, with the score still 0-0. The second half continued in a similar vein, with both teams exchanging possession but neither able to convert their chances into goals.
As the match wore on, it seemed destined for a draw until Aytemur’s late strike changed the course of the game. His goal not only secured the win for Bodrum FK but also highlighted their resilience in a match that could have easily gone the other way.
With this victory, Bodrum FK’s confidence will be bolstered as they prepare to face Antalyaspor in their next outing. Meanwhile, Alanyaspor will need to regroup quickly as they gear up to host Samsunspor, looking to avoid further slips in their battle against relegation.
This match marked the second encounter between the two teams in the Super League, the first having ended in a goalless draw earlier in the season. As the league progresses, both teams will need to harness their strengths and address their weaknesses to secure their positions in the top flight.
With the relegation battle heating up, every point counts, and both Bodrum FK and Alanyaspor will be keen to make the most of their upcoming fixtures. Fans can expect an exciting end to the season as teams jockey for position in the final weeks of the league.
