What happened in Turkish football today? 03/04/2024



Events outside of field has motivated more to Fenerbahce

Despite of so many factors happening around Fenerbahce since end of Super League game against Trabzonspor, Istanbul giant has managed to get crucial win against Adana Demirspor It was highly  anticipated to see how all the factors which are taking place at Fenerbahce outside of football field would have an impact towards players when coming out to such crucial game and to some extend it could have mentioned that all of those events did have positive factor for most of the players especially to attacking players who have scored great goals and generall willingness to find goals as game has started. Only player which did look to be negatively affected has been Irfan Can Egribat who did 1-game ban but later TFF arbitration committee has frozen this decision which led for him to play the game but he did lack concentration and did make some simple mistakes especially at 1st conceded goal. Still, in overall Fenerbahce did show togetherness, focus and willingness for game which led them to get such win without doubt.

Adana Demirspor which still being close to relegation zone did provide strong concentration and hasnt been absent from willingness and performance from Istanbul as it did create some good chances and found 2 goals and certainly has played an important role to make this high level game.

Hence, Fenerbahce continues its title race with Galatasaray as it did reduce point difference with league leaders Galatasaray to 2 points once again.

Trabzonspor got important win for 3rd spot against Konyaspor

Trabzonspor has resumed Turkish Super League with an important win against struggling Konyaspor and has made its spot for 3rd spot even more stable as it rise point difference with Besiktas to 6 points at least for 24 hours.

Despite of getting to national team break and election period with loss against Fenerbahce, it did provide some good performance prior to previous game and hence did come out to the game as favourites and hence did show that factor with performance on the field for 90 minutes with Trezeguet and Edin Visca getting leading role with 3:1 win against Konyaspor. It would need to mention that there were also questions similarly to Fenerbahce if events during Fenerbahce game would have any negative aspects but it needs to be mentioned that team has been highly focussed.

Konyaspor did come out to game where it aims to stay on the league and hence did take this game pretty seriously but quality factor surely has led them to lose 2 points even through it could be praised their effort after getting game to 2:1.

Hence, Trabzonspor did get good advantage for 3rd spot with such win but team would need to stay focussed and get into winning streak in upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray did leave some warning signs despite of beating Hatayspor.

Galatasaray has managed to win an important game against Hatayspor with help from Mauro Icardi and has quarenteed its leadership with 7 weeks to go in the league but it didnt provide its best performance which we used to see from team at home ground.

Even through Hatayspor has been only side which it did lose game during this season in 1st half of the season, there is big difference with opponent team compare to that period and in fact that Hatayspor might even won game if its had better last touches both in passes and shots. Coming from Galatasaray perspective, it did start game in reasonable fast track and did find once again an early goal thanks to Mauro Icardi but after that either due of general losing concentration or relaxation that it will win game anyway it did lose its control of game with Hatayspor creating chances with lacking last touches and one goal being disallowed from offside. Galatasaray has been pretty far from its top level performance and this could be seen as warning sign for them.

Title race with Fenerbahce carries on in exciting manner and it is visible that no game will be won easily but Galatasaray has been below they level of performance and this win should be warning sign for them.
