Squad5 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Paulo Victor out for 87 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Alanyaspor will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Gaïus Makouta was immovable

24 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Maestro shuts the door

Defensive actions: 24, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Ruan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Yusuf Özdemir falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Ianis Hagi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.34, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

255% of the income goes out in wages at Alanyaspor

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match3 Oct 2026

Ianis Hagi sends Alanyaspor past Kayserispor

It finished 1‑0, and it was Ianis Hagi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Alanyaspor.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Güven Yalçın in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Alanyaspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief

  • Squad No hiding place for Fidan Aliti
  • Market The Ruan talk will not go away
  • The terraces The press cannot get enough of Ianis Hagi

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad7 Sep 2026

Paulo Victor breaks a bone — 120 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 120 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Hwang Ui-Jo, 34, rolls back the years — 9.27

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.27 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Andrés Desábato keeps Alanyaspor in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Ümit Akdağ

22 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Yusuf Özdemir falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Ianis Hagi

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Gaïus Makouta

Marked 9.15 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

237% of the income goes out in wages at Alanyaspor

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match5 Sep 2026

Alanyaspor find a way past Sivasspor

Sivasspor made Alanyaspor work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

In brief
