In a thrilling encounter, Krzysztof Piatek’s brilliance shone as he secured a remarkable hat-trick for Basaksehir, propelling them to a 3-2 victory over Konyaspor. The match began ominously for Basaksehir, trailing 0-2 within the first fifteen minutes, courtesy of Louka Prip’s double strike. However, Piatek’s resilience sparked a spirited comeback, converting a penalty in the 67th minute.
Piatek’s Equalizer and Last-Minute Heroics
Building on the momentum, Piatek leveled the score twelve minutes later with a cleverly executed header from a side-field cross. In injury time, he sealed the win by intercepting the ball in the penalty area and firing a powerful shot, overcoming the opposing goalkeeper’s touch. Piatek, overcoming a challenging start to the season, has now netted 10 goals, all since November, in 21 appearances.
As of now, Basaksehir holds the eighth position in the league table, trailing six points behind the European qualification zone. With several competing teams yet to play in the 23rd round, their European aspirations remain within reach.
