Göztepe secured a vital 4-0 win over Eyüpspor that leaves the hosts stranded at the foot of the Süper Lig in 18th place with only three points from seven matches. Eyüpspor have now conceded twenty goals and sit four points adrift of safety. Göztepe moved to 15th with six points, easing immediate relegation fears after a difficult start to the 2025-2026 campaign.
The result underlines the widening gap between the division's established sides and its most fragile teams.
Göztepe controlled proceedings from the first whistle, exploiting space behind a porous Eyüpspor defense to build an unassailable lead. The visitors' clinical finishing turned territorial dominance into a comprehensive scoreline that reflected their superior organization and intensity throughout the ninety minutes.
Eyüpspor entered the fixture on a run of four straight defeats, their only victory this season coming against Alanyaspor. That solitary win had offered fleeting hope, yet the 0-4 reverse extended a worrying pattern of heavy losses that now includes an 8-0 thrashing by Fenerbahçe.
Göztepe arrived with just one win in their previous five outings and two consecutive draws. The emphatic victory reversed that indifferent sequence, providing momentum and a first clean sheet in several weeks for a side that had shipped goals regularly.
For Eyüpspor the defeat intensifies pressure at the base of the table, where their goal difference of minus eighteen already looks terminal without rapid improvement. Göztepe, meanwhile, have daylight between themselves and the drop zone and will look to build on this statement result in the coming weeks.
