What happened in Turkish football today? 08/12/2018


Galatasaray didnt manage to keep its 2:0 leadership against Rizespor. 

Galatasaray has lost an opportunity to get crucial win against last-placed Rizespor during Super League 15th week game even through it was winning game with 2:0 and has been looked to be one who was controlling game.

Galatasaray carries on losing points during recent periods of the week but among all of the lost points, this game to all respect towards Rizespor has been most unexpected with taking account that their opponents have only won game during this season. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray has provided strong attacking game with creating chances and looking for chances, even through during same period of time Rizespor has also created some dangerous moments during game. Even through the scoreline did turn into hands with Garry Rodrigues and Eren Derdiyok, who both didnt score for long time, it was thought that Galatasaray was going towards win with possibility of finding even more goals. But with Aminu Umaru scoring goal within 10 minutes after Derdiyok goal, with also more than 20 minutes left, it has provided strong motivation and confidence to Rizespor and with Galatasaray showing signs of tiredness allowed their opponents to get important comeback from their perspective. Galatasaray did lose its opportunity to get important 3 points which went into hand of Basaksehirspor and Kasimpasa who both would be playing on 10th December.

Rizespor which are placed at the last place has got an important 1 point as it aims to find themselves outside of the relegation zone at the short time. Meanwhile, it needs to be stated that Rizespor has shown great character as their are not many teams which are capable to turn around game against Galatasaray at their grounds regardless situation of their opponents.

Galatasaray carries on providing not great performance and in risk of getting further from leaders of the league if Basaksehirspor wins against Ankaragucu on 10th December. Right now, full focus to the team needs to be given to Porto game at last Champions League where it needs at least draw to find themselves at Europa League in 2019.

Trabzonspor has beat Konyaspor with goals scored during last 15 minutes. 

Trabzonspor has managed to win Super League 15th week against Konyaspor with comfortable scoreline of 3:0 with finding 3 goals during last 15 minutes with help of Hugo Rodallega 1st goal during 75th minute.

It needs to be stated however that with watching whole game, Trabzonspor has been one who has dominated game from start to an end and have created chances. Even through until 1st goal, Trabzonspor didnt create much dangerous chances, it was one who kept at its feet and without doubt players were highly concentrated to get win from this game. It does need to be also stated that their opponents has provided strong defence game which was only strategy from them and main reason why Konyaspor didnt show any reaction following Hugo Rodallega goal. Trabzonspor currently finds itself with 5 points behind league leaders against Basaksehirspor and are same points with Besiktas with who it would be playing game next week. Even through its hard to state that Trabzonspor is strong enough to get league title, but with this performance of last 3 games does show that it has high aims for this season and would be among title contenders when 2nd half of the season would be starting.

Konyaspor meanwhile did provide good defensive game during 1st half, preventing Trabzonspor to create much of the attacking game but it needs it to be stated that with conceding goal from penalty it didnt have any plans to respond and with conceding another goal next minute has lost all chances to get point from game.

Trabzonspor carries on its great performance with effective performance and would be coming out with high confidence to Besiktas game next week and self-belief.

Besiktas has got point from Alanyaspor thanks to get defensive and Karius performance during game.

Besiktas has ended its Super League 15th week game against Alanyaspor with goalless draw thanks to its defenders and great performance of its goalkeeper Loris Karius as without those players their would certainly lose game.

It needs to be noted that Alanyaspor has provided full focus to the game and did come out with an aim to win game as their had created high amount of the chances as the game has been progressed and did in fact created great chances to the goal. With Loris Karius providing his best performance since joining team and proving himself as good goalkeeper has helped Besiktas to win 1 point from game. Same couldnt be said for Besiktas forward players which had trouble at getting into high amount of chances and overall didnt provide good controllable organised game as their had also made many mistakes during passing game. It was therefore loss of 2 points from Alanyaspor who has shown great performance during this game while Besiktas in other hands looked to be passive during without providing too much threat into Besiktas goals.

Without doubt Besiktas needs to show much better performance during return game against Malmo during Europa League on 13th December as this performance would not be enough for sure.
