Fenerbahçe vs. Kasımpaşa: Scoreless First Half Amid Major Squad Rotation

Scoreless First Half The first half of the match ended in a 0-0 draw despite mutual attacks from both teams.
Both sides found clear opportunities in the early stages but failed to change the scoreline.
Anthony Musaba's shot from inside the penalty area narrowly missed the target, while Kasımpaşa's Diabate faced goalkeeper Ederson in a one-on-one situation, but the experienced keeper prevented the goal.
In the closing stages of the half, Fenerbahçe threatened with Asensio, and Kasımpaşa tested the goal with a long-range shot from Diabate, yet the interval remained goalless.
