Konyaspor lost 1-0 to Kayserispor in a pre-season friendly played during the national team break. Head coach İlhan Palut fielded a strong starting lineup but the team conceded the only goal of the match in the 84th minute.
İlhan Palut named his starting eleven, saying: "Karşılaşmaya Bahadır Han Güngördü, Uğurcan Yazğılı, Rayyan Baniya, Chidozie Awaziem, Arif Boşluk, Melih İbrahimoğlu, Ömer Çobanoğlu, Deniz Türüç, Diogo Gonçalves, Jean-Luc Dompe ve Mustafa Muhammed ilk 11'i ile başladı." A goalless first half was followed by second-half substitutions including Egemen Aydın and Alpha Fofana.
The result is not the ideal preparation for a Konyaspor side sitting 15th in the Süper Lig with 4 points from 6 games. Their recent form reads two draws, two losses and one win, having scored 4 and conceded 8 so far this season.
Konyaspor's next competitive fixture is at home against 12th-placed Başakşehir on Sunday, 11 October 2026. Training resumes on Monday, 5 October at 18:00.
