What happened in Turkish football today? 02/09/2018


Besiktas didnt provide enough tempo to get a win against Bursaspor.

Besiktas didnt manage to win back-to-back after losing to Antalyaspor and drawing against Bursaspor with 1:1 scoreline as it has conceded goal in unexpected manner at the 85th minute of the goal and has got an important point for themselves without doubt.

It needs to be stated that game for most amount of time has been played at balanced manner between two sides and also slow tempo. To some extend with also allowing few number of the chances for Bursaspor during 1st half, Besiktas has been pretty far away from their usual performance which their had shown against Partizan and that game could have affected to today's performance without doubt. Meanwhile, this game without doubt has been an important game for Lorius Karius who has played hist 1st game with Besiktas during this season and despite of losing at the end of the game which led for Besiktas to lose 2 points, he did show some good chances. Besiktas meanwhile had also trouble at getting full control of the game and didnt control ball as it was used for them. When Besiktas did get goal 1:0 it started to control game afterwards but with 1:0 scoreline had aimed to control and has managed to do that, but with this scoreline would be always tough without doubt.

Bursaspor meanwhile has shown great attitute and focus for this game during 1st half and also continued to look for goal during 2nd half. With strong support of its fans, Besiktas has got well-deserved 1 point.

Besiktas has lost 4 points during last week and are still not able to get into the right tempo which would be awaited for them at least at the league and would aim to solve this issue during national team break.

Trabzonspor has got memorable win against Galatasaray.

Trabzonspor has carried on showing its winning record against Galatasaray at their current stadium as it has won against them for 3 years back to back at home ground, this time beating with surprising result of 4:0 and could have even with bigger scoreline.

Trabzonspor which did come out to this particular game as underdogs due of not unbalanced start of the season, has managed to use their opportunities at high level and scoring 3 goals during 1st half an hour of the game. Without doubt Trabzonspor newly-signed player Anthony Nwakaeme, who has joined from Israeli club Hapoel Beer-Sheva, has shown great performance with great 2 goals and has shown pure quality providing also view towards Trabzonspor that he would be able to move team forward. A goal scored by Caleb Ekubu has also been great addition as scoring during 1st goal at his starting game in similar manner as did Nwakaeme would provide them more confident performance for upcoming games. Trabzonspor without doubt has gained great motivation prior to national team break and would aim to continue this kind of performance as season would progress and if it manages to do that it would be able to fight at top positions this seasons.

Trabzonspor has shown memorable performance during Super League game against Galatasaray and has gained great motivation with great tactical performance from Unal Karaman.

Galatasaray has identified that it has huge issues from game against Trabzonspor.

Galatasaray in other hand has shown very dissapointing performance against Trabzonspor and should see themselves to be lucky not to lose game with even high scoreline at the end of the day.

The lack of having strong striker after selling Bafetembi Gomis during summer and not finding good replacement for himself among also lacking with defenders does seem to be show itself as the season would progress especially with Champions League to be started in 16 days. Without doubt red card which was recieved from Youness Belhanda is also without understanding as it was done in purpose manner and Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim in harsh manner has stated that club would ask reason for Belhanda for this behaviour and would provide needed fine according to his action. It needs to be stated that with knowing character of Fatih Terim it would be expected for him to be furious at changing room not only towards Belhanda but also towards whole squad for such poor and irresponsive performance. Right now Galatasaray need to identify mistakes their had done and find ways to move team forward with current squad.

Game against Trabzonspor did show that Galatasaray has potential of having difficult season but it needs to find ways to find solutions for this.
