What happened in Turkish football today? 23/09/2018


Galatasaray continues its poor performance at away games. 

Galatasaray continues at providing poor performance at its away games as it has lost to Akhisarspor during Super League 6th week game with 3:0 scoreline as opponents has won its 1st game at Super League and also 1st official game after Super Cup against Galatasaray.

Without doubt, Galatasaray did come out to the game with focus to win game but it was clear that Akhisarspor has seen this game with its new caretaker coach Cem Kavcak was aiming to win game as it has started playing effective and organised game. Returning to Galatasaray, it was shown performance far away from its dominant game which it has shown against Alanyaspor and Lokomotiv Moscow in last games. Therefore, it could be stated that Galatasaray seems to have trouble to show high quality and dominant game at its home ground which has started during last season and this has come out from away game. Galatasaray meanwhile has also got penalty chance at the end of the 1st half but Garry Rodrigues poor shot to the goal didnt allow them to get chance to get leadership and manage to control 2nd half even more and has become turning point. Despite of that it does need to be admitted that Galatasaray didnt also provide great game in 1st half even through it was better than in 1st half arguably.

Akhisarspor meanwhile has shown a great performance during today's game with showing an organised attacks and without showing any fear from factor that their are opponents Galatasaray. Akhisarspor has also shown impressive performance taking account that their had 3 days go against Krasnodar at Europa League which was hard game. Meanwhile, Cem Kavcak has made great change to the team.

Galatasaray continues its poor performance at the away games which also seems to affect themselves as the season would progress and without doubt Fatih Terim would aim to find solutions to this problem.

Trabzonspor has showed poor game against Goztepe.

Trabzonspor has begun showing poor performance once again during last 2 weeks of the Super League as this time it has lost Goztepe with 2:1 scoreline without providing any high level performance during 1st half.

It does need to be noted that Trabzonspor did improve its performance during 2nd half of the game but until that time it could get towards game allowing Goztepe to get full control of the game and allowing opponent player Yasin Oztekin to get into position and score two simple goals with 2nd goal being mainly mistake of Onur Kivrak, who has accepted his fault following game also. Trabzonspor did improve their performance during 2nd half but still it wasnt enough for them to turn around game and hence has only with single goal. Stating that it does need to be mentioned that handball of Burak Yilmaz, which led for Hugo Rodallega goal not to be counted at the end of the game did recieve high amount of criticism but it was grey decision and referee after watching VAR has decided not to count it. Still, Trabzonspor needs to identify why it showing such poor performance and improve for next game against Kasimpasa.

Trabzonspor after couple of the good games has reduced with its performance and has lost games and once again finds itself at the critical situation to be at title race in early stages of the league.

Fenerbahce and Besiktas expects to be exciting game with high tension. 

First big 3 Istanbul derby during this Super League season would be taking place between
Fenerbahce and Besiktas during 6th week game as both teams has played Europa League games on 20th September with sides getting mixed of the results.

Coming to the watching at the performance of the both sides, it needs to be stated that Besiktas does come out with better form, performance and motivation which without doubt would affect to the outcome of the game however with game playing at Fenerbahce stadium it does have strong advantage as home games always pushes them forwards due of the supporters. It needs also to be added that Fenerbahce would be coming out to an important game for them and also head coach Phillip Cocu as the loss could throw out of the title race as early as on 6th week of the season. Meanwhile, Besiktas which even through are far from their best performance themselves and does have lack of attackers as it has sold Alvaro Negredo, is not coming out at best form even through compare to results as been stated its more focussed and knows better how to play with coach and players compare to Fenerbahce as it has coach and many players who are not adapted to the league. With game to be playing at Kadikoy it would be hard to state who would win game and expects to be with full excitement as their as many things at the stake during this game.

Therefore, derby game between two giants is expected to be with full excitement with both sides giving their best to win game and aim for higher spots at the standings.
