What happened in Turkish football today? 23/11/2020



 Galatasaray lost point despite of dominance during game.

Galatasaray did lose 2 points against Kayserispor during Super League 9th week without coming out with some key players and creating high number of opportunities but didnt win even through many things went on their way.

Foremost, it is crucial to note that Galatasaray did come out with winning game with creating high number of opportunities during 1st half but couldnt overpass Silviu Lung who is being one of the best goalkeepers in this season with creating high amount of the chances with some of them could be categorised as 100% opportunities but he has been showing strong strance putting wall into his goal where Galatasaray did have some opportunities while Kayserispor failed to control game. With Lung getting injured in the end of the first half and with their players also getting penalty and Kayserispor getting red card did look things would go easier with finding penalty goal from penalty. But quite opposite Galatasaray show relaxation and allowed to opponent to find even more goals and getting even more confident after scoring goal. Therefore, at the game where things should been go easier for Galatasaray it went even more difficult. It is true that Galatasaray didnt play with best squads due of Covid19 and injuries however it could get easier win.

Kayserispor meanwhile did provide poor 1st half and should be thankful to Lung with his saves but it provide some crucial changes in half-time and provided much more brave game with getting red card getting important point.

Galatasaray didnt show perfect game against and did show winning mentality but did have issue with converting with this squad, hence players needs to learn from this.

Trabzonspor been lucky to win Erzurumspor.

Abdullah Avci has won his 1st game as being head coach of Erzurumspor during Super League 9th week with 1:0 scoreline thanks to Caleb Ekuban goal, but it needs to be noted that performance-wise it did provide pretty poor game.

Looking at the game with fairness and neutral way, it needs to be noted that Erzurumspor has been side which did lose game as it provided much more stronger attacking game but due of last touches and good defence of Trabzonspor didnt find goal which it looked for. From this note, it could be stated that Trabzonspor which did concede goals in each game did improve its defence which been its main issue especially after being on its own half after Ekuban goal. Therefore, despite of good defence it would be clear that fans and coach apart of 3 points, will not be satisfied with this 3 points which it did get in the end of the game. Therefore, Avci would need to provide main focus into improving its game both in sense of confidence and performance wise, since of all respect to Erzurumspor is side which has issues with finding goals during this season.

Therefore, this game made it clear that it has some issues with performance which shows that Avci has lots of work to do in upcoming days to make competitive side.

Basaksehirspor needs to show confident game again. 

Basaksehirspor would be aiming without doubt provide 2nd surprising result to Manchester United, but this time it would be much harder as it plays away and United would learn mistakes from 1st week.

Even through it would come to  United with last game win, it would be underdog due of status and history of the side as Manchester would be aiming for sure not to repeat same mistakes especially at defence. However, win at Istanbul does provide strong confidence and motivation boost to Basaksehirspor with feeling that it could get win. Its important to note of course that in same manner as Turkish side tend to get good result at Istanbul, against opponent same goes vice versa and even through game will be without supporters, it would provide more familiarity to United. Key for Basaksehirspor for sure would be to provide same confidence with respecting opponent and maybe it could get surprise result again.

Basaksehirspor did raise expectation from surprising win but still will not be coming out with big expectation which would reduce pressure to them.
