Antalyaspor enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Kasimpasa's place. The match ended 4-2 with Fredy, Wright and Naldo scoring. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Wright has scored in three matches in a row. Badass!

Wright scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
