Gençlerbirliği Defeats Alanyaspor 5-0 to End Drought

Gençlerbirliği ended a seven-match winless skid in the Trendyol Süper Lig with a victory over Alanyaspor on the 10th-matchday closing fixture at home, Fanatik reported. The capital club dominated from the opening whistle, as midfielder Oğulcan Ülgün opened the scoring just 47 seconds into the match.

Oğulcan Ülgün Strikes Inside the First Minute

The hosts set an aggressive tone immediately. Just 47 seconds after kickoff, Franco Tongya slipped a pass to Oğulcan Ülgün just outside the penalty area. Ülgün’s strike took a deflection off a defender before settling in the back of the net to give Gençlerbirliği a 1-0 lead. Alanyaspor nearly equalized in the 34th minute during a goalmouth scramble when Gaius Makouta hammered a rebound off the crossbar. Ivan Cedric met the subsequent loose ball with a header, but goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat scrambled to make the save. Tiago Gouveia also tested Alanyaspor goalkeeper Victor later in the half, driving into the box before his shot was stopped, leaving the score 1-0 at the break.

Franco Tongya and Tiago Gouveia Flood the Scoreboard

In the 59th minute, Traore slipped a clever ball behind the defensive line for Franco Tongya, who beat the offside trap and slotted past the keeper to make it 2-0. Traore provided another assist in the 66th minute, finding Gouveia for a long-range strike that extended the lead to 3-0. Two minutes later, Tongya lofted a cross from the left wing, allowing Pedro Mendes to rise and head home the fourth goal. Gouveia capped the scoring in the 78th minute, controlling a long free-kick from İrfan Can inside the box and driving his shot home to seal the 5-0 final scoreline.
