Rizespor delivered a potent attacking masterclass to claim a stunning 5-2 victory over Antalyaspor at Corendon Airlines Park, a match that saw the visitors seize early control and never relinquish it. Winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi ignited the rout with a brace, while Rizespor’s relentless pressure laid bare Antalyaspor’s defensive frailties on a challenging night for the hosts.

The tone was set just four minutes in as Rak-Sakyi found space and tucked away the opener after a clever assist from Qazim Laci. Only five minutes later, Rizespor doubled their lead: Emrecan Bulut surged forward and slipped a perfectly weighted pass for Viktor Jurecka, who finished coolly to silence the home crowd.

Antalyaspor offered a glimmer of hope in the 13th minute. Sander van de Streek, the hosts' chief creator, picked out Sefa Dikmen in the area, and the midfielder’s low drive halved the deficit. However, their momentum was short-lived as Rizespor’s compact midfield pressed high and disrupted any rhythm.

The second half opened with Rizespor resuming their quick-strike approach. Just three minutes after the restart, Rak-Sakyi notched his second of the evening, again courtesy of Laci’s vision and pinpoint delivery. The hosts’ frustration boiled over in the 59th minute when Van de Streek, already on a yellow, saw red for a reckless challenge, reducing Antalyaspor to ten men and effectively ending the contest as a contest.

With Antalyaspor down a man, Rizespor pressed their advantage in the closing stages: Andi Zeqiri added a fourth in the 86th, capitalizing on a tired defense, and forward Valentin Mihaila joined the party in stoppage time to make it five. Antalyaspor’s T. Cvancara managed a late consolation, but it barely registered as Rizespor’s supporters celebrated a landmark away win.

Key moments aside, the match featured gritty midfield battles, as evidenced by the spate of cards: six bookings and Van de Streek’s pivotal dismissal. Rizespor’s tactical discipline, particularly Laci’s effectiveness as a creative hub, proved decisive.

The result sends a reverberation through the Süper Lig standings. For Rizespor, this emphatic win will fuel belief in their attacking project, while Antalyaspor face questions over their defensive vulnerabilities and discipline as their campaign falters.
