En-Nesyri and Kahveci Complete Fenerbahçe Comeback Against Konyaspor

Konyaspor Make a Bright Start

Muhammet Bostan put Konyaspor ahead in the fourth minute, applying a composed finish from Abdou Ndao's delivery to give the visitors an immediate lead at Şükrü Saracoğlu.

The timing mattered. Konyaspor arrived in Istanbul sitting eleventh in the Süper Lig on 46 points, with a recent form sequence of L, L, W, L, W — a side without relegation pressure but without meaningful momentum either. Early goals tend to suit visiting teams at this stage of the calendar: they set the terms, force the home side to chase, and allow a defensive shape to be held deliberately rather than reactively. Konyaspor found exactly that scenario inside four minutes.

İsmail Yüksek was booked in the fifth minute, an early discipline lapse from the Fenerbahçe ranks. Anderson Talisca received a yellow card at the 28th minute as fouls continued to accumulate, and the half closed with Konyaspor's one-goal advantage intact.

Kahveci and En-Nesyri Reverse the Scoreline

Fenerbahçe spent the second half pressing toward a Konyaspor side that had spent 45 minutes doing exactly what they came to do: defend with organisation and keep the hosts behind. The equaliser did not arrive until the 75th minute, when İrfan Can Kahveci scored with a finish supplied by Sofyan Amrabat.

The goal changed the dynamic in a short window. Konyaspor had controlled the match for over an hour; within seven minutes they would be behind. Two minutes after scoring, Kahveci was shown a yellow card at the 77th minute, the kind of booking that arrives in the immediate aftermath of a goal and one that carries disciplinary implications for future fixtures.

Youssef En-Nesyri settled the result in the 82nd minute. Filip Kostić found him with a delivery that En-Nesyri converted to make it 2-1, giving Fenerbahçe a lead they would not relinquish. Çağlar Söyüncü's yellow card at 90+3 was the final note of a physically demanding evening, closing a four-booking match that stayed at eleven versus eleven throughout.

Reading the Scoreline and Cards Together

Four yellow cards across ninety minutes — İsmail Yüksek at the 5th, Anderson Talisca at the 28th, Kahveci at the 77th, Söyüncü at 90+3 — reflected the competitive temperature of a match that was, for long stretches, tightly fought rather than open. Konyaspor's disciplinary profile added to the picture of a visiting side that came to frustrate and remained physical throughout.

The scoreline arriving at 2-1 in the 82nd minute, having sat at 1-0 to Konyaspor since the fourth, is a match story worth noting: Fenerbahçe spent 78 minutes recovering a deficit, and the two goals that turned the result came inside a seven-minute window. Whether that reflects improved second-half tactics, Konyaspor's declining energy levels, or simply the quality of Amrabat and Kostić as delivery players — or all three — is the kind of detail coaching analysis will address.

Fenerbahçe's Standing at 84 Points

Second place in the Süper Lig on 84 points is Fenerbahçe's position with this result banked. Their last five fixtures produced W, L, W, W, L before this match, a sequence that included setbacks alongside the positive results. At this late point in the season, the arithmetic of final positioning is largely determined by what the table leader holds; Fenerbahçe at 84 will focus on collecting the maximum from remaining fixtures regardless of what happens elsewhere.

The Outlook for Both Clubs

Konyaspor's position at 46 points in eleventh leaves them untroubled by the bottom of the table and equally removed from any European qualification conversation. The defeat here does not change their season substantially; it confirms a mid-table outcome that has been consistent across their recent form. They showed, for 70-plus minutes, that they retain the capacity to make things difficult for top-half opponents.

For Fenerbahçe, the positives are concentrated in the attack. Kahveci converting from Amrabat, En-Nesyri finishing from Kostić: two clear, well-constructed goals from a side with a range of creators available. The concern is the defensive opening. A fourth-minute goal conceded against an eleventh-placed side was avoidable, and a pattern of starting poorly before recovering late is one that will not hold up in more demanding company. How effectively this squad can manage a clean start from the first whistle, rather than relying on a comeback, is the question the final weeks of the season will answer.

SportGlance verdict: This 2-1 result hands Fenerbahçe three points and keeps them second in the Süper Lig on 84, but the manner of it — 78 minutes behind against an eleventh-placed side before Kahveci and En-Nesyri turned it in seven — raises a real question about consistency from kickoff. En-Nesyri's continued output and Amrabat's creative role give the attack genuine depth, and those qualities will be central to whether Fenerbahçe can finish the campaign with the highest points tally their squad is capable of producing.
