After a tight first half, the match shifted firmly in the Turkish side’s favour soon after the interval.

In the 53rd minute, a penalty converted by Olivier Ntcham gave Samsunspor the breakthrough.

The midfielder completed the full 90 minutes, registering one goal and two shots in a performance that set the tone for what followed.

The closing stages belonged to Marius Mouandilmadji.

The Chadian forward, already the competition’s leading scorer, added two further goals in the 78th minute and stoppage time (90+2) to complete the rout.

Over the course of the match, he attempted eight shots and found the net twice, underlining his growing influence in front of goal.

Samsunspor’s emphatic victory was built on attacking efficiency after the break.

From Ntcham’s opening penalty to Mouandilmadji’s late brace, the team demonstrated control and precision in the final third.

The result secures their progression in the competition and highlights the contribution of their African contingent, whose combined efforts shaped a performance defined by composure and clinical finishing.
