Akdoğan overturned a half-time deficit to defeat Geçitkale 5-3 in the fourth week of the AKSA First League at Akdoğan Özgürlük Stadium, Halkın Sesi reported.
Turgut Kaçar was central to the home side’s win, scoring four goals. He put Akdoğan 2-0 ahead with two goals in the opening 20 minutes.
Geçitkale responded before the interval. Goals from Tıchi Ukpei, Hasan and Mustafa gave the visitors a 3-2 lead at half-time, according to the report.
Akdoğan drew level in the second half when Kaçar converted a penalty. Halkın Sesi reported that the spot kick followed a foul decision against Geçitkale that was strongly contested by the visiting players.
Ahmet Kuran restored Akdoğan’s lead in the 73rd minute after an assist from Kaçar. Kaçar then completed the scoring in the third minute of added time, having previously hit the post.
The match was organised by the Cyprus Turkish Football Federation and refereed by Serkan Özdenkçi, Halkın Sesi said.
