The Snowy Standstill: Sivasspor and Kasımpaşa’s 0-0 Thrilling Encounter
Final Score: Sivasspor 0 – 0 Kasımpaşa

Well, you get a 0-0 draw that makes an accountant’s annual report look like an action-packed thriller! Yes, the Trendyol Super League began to resemble a winter wonderland, minus the wonder.
Match Overview
On November 24, 2024, the football gods decided that Sivasspor and Kasımpaşa would tango in a snow-covered dance at the New 4 Eylül Stadium. While the players were trying to keep their balance on what resembled a giant snow globe, the final whistle blew on a rather forgettable performance. Draws may be common, but when both teams end up with a crisp zero on the scoreboard, it inspires as much excitement as watching paint dry in a blizzard.
Game Highlights
The match had all the hallmarks of a gripping sports contest—hard tackles, missed opportunities, and the occasional confused glance at the scoreboard. It’s almost like watching someone try to stop a sneeze; you’re anticipating something explosive, but instead, it just fizzles out.
First half action included:
- 8th Minute: Murat Paluli dances through the Kasımpaşa defense but rendezvous with Koita’s header that’s wide of the mark.
- 10th Minute: A moment of hope as Rodrigues storms into the penalty area. But even his best shot is no match for Gianniotis, who plays hero once again.

Second half shenanigans:
- 50th Minute: Kasımpaşa fans experience a brief moment of joy, but it quickly dissipates as Gökhan Gül’s wild attempt misses the target.
- 74th Minute: A beautiful free kick from Emrah Başsan, which could have melted snow, gets caught – Gianniotis, the wall of snow, stands tall!
- 90+2 Minute: A desperate shot from Manaj bends wide, and surely, 18,000 Sivas fans gasped collectively, “Is that it?”
Weather Conditions or Player Execution?
Oh, and did I mention the snow? You’d think the players were auditioning for a new winter sports reality show. It’s a wonder they didn’t start building snowmen on the sidelines. Referee Burak Pakkan, by the way, played the unsung hero here, ensuring the players had a field to play on, and not a scene from *Frozen 3: The Soccer Match*.
Post-Match Reflections

Is expertly saved.
In the 38th minute, Koita managed to break through the Kasımpaşa defense only to send a timid effort straight into the hands of Gianniotis, who seemed more than happy to scoop up the unthreatening shot.
Second Half Analysis
The second half retained the dull atmosphere of the first, with both teams struggling to make their mark on the game despite several opportunities. The snow continued to affect play, with players slipping and sliding in a bid to maintain control.
Both sides were left with nothing but regret as they couldn’t find the net, highlighting a significant lack of finishing quality and spark in the final third. The chaotic moments from the corners and free kicks only further emphasized the frustrations faced by both teams throughout the match.
Key Players
Despite the sterile scoreline, a few individuals stood out in the freezing conditions. Goalkeeper Gianniotis from Kasımpaşa was a crucial figure, making important saves that kept his team’s hopes alive for at least a point.
On the other end, Sivasspor’s Koita remained a constant threat but struggled to find his range, leaving his teammates bogged down in a sea of missed chances. The inability of both teams to capitalize on these moments ultimately led to the stalemate.
Looking Forward
As the teams trudged off the pitch, it was clear that both sides would need to regroup and reassess their strategies moving forward. With more challenging fixtures ahead, a robust attacking game plan must evolve to secure vital points in the tightly contested league.
