What happened in Turkish football today? 23/08/2019


Besiktas has shown good reaction after loss during last week.

Besiktas has got an important win against Goztepe at home ground with 3:0 scoreline against Goztepe and hence has shown great response following last week loss against Sivasspor.

In fact, with scoring 3 goals without conceding it has managed to equalise goal difference and did silence to some extend critics that Besiktas are not ready for new season with providing a positive and strong football. It could be stated that even through Besiktas has provided control of the ball during 1st half it still didnt provide perfect performance and in some moments let Goztepe to control ball and create chances. However, last minute of goal which was directly referred as goal to changing room, has provided strong confidence and change of game for 2nd half for Besiktas. With scoring 2nd goal from great kick from Caner Erkin on 54th minute and after that got whole control of the game. Meanwhile, to some extend this scoreline and performance especially in 2nd half does provide that team would provide an attacking game in upcoming weeks as it with Senol Gunes, as their were scare  and worry that with Abdullah Avci team could focus into scoreline. This was an important win for Besiktas as being title contender it couldnt start season with 2 losses back-to-back.

Goztepe meanwhile did state several times that it aims to provide much better performance from last season during which it was close to be relegated but it didnt start in that manner as their lost 2 opening games. Goztepe needs to identiy its mistakes of poor performance if it doesnt want to have repeat of last season.

Besiktas has got an important win and would now look for upcoming weeks in much more positive and targeted way for sure with providing good performance to its supporters.

Trabzonspor has got an important away win against AEK Athens.

Trabzonspor has provided pretty impressive performance during Europa League play-off 1st leg game against AEK Athens, with dominating game for most amount of game and with Caleb Ekuban scoring hat-trick and likely has provided ticket to group stage for a team.

Another interesting aspect of this hat-trick has been by Caleb Ekuban to find this goals on next day after club has transferred David Sturridge, hence making it clear that he doesnt consider to give his spot to world style player at starting 11. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor didnt provide great start of the game with conceding goal at 4th minute and also not able to score penalty thanks to the Jose Sosa hitting into posts. But when Caleb Ekuban has found his 1st goal which did come out at luck circumstances in all fairness, Trabzonspor has got an upper hand of the game and has dominated game from start to an end. Trabzonspor has got an important win at pretty difficult away game and would be aiming to control game at high level at home for 2nd leg.

Trabzonspor hence did show an upper hand and if it doesnt provide too much dissapointing performance during 2nd leg, it should find itself at group stage.

Basaksehirspor and Fenerbahce game would give some ideas of two clubs aims for this season.

With Fenerbahce providing most perfect game during Super League 1st week against what could be seen as weak opponent Gazisehir Gaziantep and also aiming to provide performance to make everyone forget last season, it would be meeting with Basaksehirspor at 2nd week,team which didnt start season as it wished for.

As it is known, Fenerbahce does tend to have trouble at showing good performance at away games against Basaksehirspor and would be having another difficult game without doubt. Stating that, it needs to be remembered that Fenerbahce would be going to this game with high self-confidence and belief and this factor would provide into positively. In same time, if Basaksehirspor wants to prove itself as league title candidates for this season it needs to turn around a lot its performance which it has shown against Yeni Malatyaspor and get a win to show that it can turn around, as if it would lose to Fenebahce, add to that without able to scoreline, then most people with some arleady believing it, would not see Basaksehirspor as league title contenders.

In fact, this game is chance for both sides to prove themselves and give some ideas for league title. If Fenerbahce wins it would be seen as among main candidates while loss to Basaksehirspor would likely in early stages see them as outside of race.
