Miroshi started for Göztepe as the two teams ran out at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadium and their Süper Lig clash kicked off at 20.00 on May 16; the first half finished 0-0.
The match, played on the final week of the 2025-2026 season, was refereed by Ümit Öztürk and broadcast on BeIN Sports 1, with Afyon Ana Haber reporting both the kick-off time and the live-television arrangements.
Samsunspor named Okan, Drongelen, Ali Badra, Soner, Zeki, Ntcham, Yalçın, Holse, Coulibaly, Tavsan and Marius in their starting XI. Göztepe started Lis, Arda Okan, Taha, Heliton, Bokele, Cherni, Dennis, Miroshi, Antunes, Janderson and Juan.
Ege Postası noted that Göztepe came into the game with 55 points and sat fifth in the table, a standing that has drawn attention because the match falls on the final day of the season and carries implications for European qualification, according to supplementary coverage.
The day’s broadcast plans drew a separate, public note: Gazapizm posted that, "Arkadaşlar, yayıncı kuruluş ile gerçekleştirdiğimiz görüşmeler sonucunda yayın hakkını almış bulunuyoruz. Cumartesi günü saat 20.00’de Samsunspor-Göztepe maçını hep birlikte stadyumda izleyeceğiz" — a statement confirming arrangements for fans to watch the game together at the stadium.
The scoreline at half-time — 0-0 — left both benches with work to do. For Samsunspor, a home clean sheet through 45 minutes showed defensive discipline with players such as Drongelen and Ali Badra tasked with keeping the visitors at bay. For Göztepe, the goalless opening suggested a cautious approach despite the stakes identified by Ege Postası.
Tension around selection compounded the match story. Ege Postası reported that Göztepe would be without Krastev, İsmail and Furkan through injury, and that Efkan was in the Samsun squad but his availability was uncertain; those absences and doubts were material to both managers' plans heading into the second half.
Officials and broadcasters were in place for the finale: Ümit Öztürk took charge of the game, and BeIN Sports 1 carried the match to viewers, as Afyon Ana Haber had previewed before kick-off.
This was a live-score style update rather than a full match report; the facts available at half-time are straightforward and consequential. Göztepe enter the final stretch with 55 points and the fifth-place position that could determine their continental prospects. A stalemate at the break leaves the decisive question simple and sharp.
Can Göztepe, trimmed by injuries and carrying the burden of fifth place, find a winner in the second half to secure the result their position requires — or will Samsunspor turn home advantage into the single result that reshapes the final table?
