What happened in Turkish football today? 23/12/2020


 

Fenerbahce has got win after another highly talked game regarding of referee.

Fenerbahce has got very important win against Basaksehirspor with 4:1 scoreline with getting behind from 1:0 scoreline at the game which been highly critcised from referee decisions and even through it possible didnt decide winner, it did decide score of the game for sure.

Both sides meanwhile did come out to the game which both needed to win as Fenerbahce even through still being close to top spot race it did lose high amount of the points from recent weeks while Basaksehirspor is being 12 points behind league leaders. Coming to the Fenerbahce perspective, it didnt once again did show poor start of the game for not showing good game in first part of 1st half but as game went on did provide strong reaction providing pretty strong attacking game towards Basaksehirspor which led for goal on the end of the 1st half. On 2nd half, even through Basaksehirspor did show good strong game on 2nd half, Fenerbahce did provide much more confident performance and did get into 2:1 scoreline and following that red card of Rafael did provide full conversation as it was given to wrong player which followed from extensive criticism towards referees by Okan Buruk. Later Irfan Can Kahveci 2nd red card did led for Fenerbahce to find 2 more goals and get win.

Basaksehirspor been affected for some wrong decisions from referee but it is hard to state it did lose game due of referee as it was losing game with prior red card with 2:1 scoreline and didnt provide strong reaction and gets further from top spot race.

Fenerbahce did get an important win and not playing this next week due of schedule, it did end 2020 in possitive note and could look for 2021 for title race hopes in this unusual season.

Galatasaray got good win against Goztepe despite not showing great defence.

Galatasaray got very important against Goztepe for its race for top spot and also prior to Trabzonspor game on 26th December, but it needs to be noted that it didnt show great game defensively especially in 2nd half.

Galatasaray did have pretty strong and confident start of the game with providing attacking game for first minutes with finding 2 great goal, but Soner Aydogdu high level goal on 15th minute, which could be best goak of this week potentially, did put back Goztepe back into team where Izmir site start showing much more confident performance and did get some good opportunities with getting scoreline to 2:2 with especially good chance by Aydogdu. Even through Galatasaray didnt provide very good game in defence, it needs to be admitted that it been pretty effective in front providing good teamwork with all goals coming on like this during its opportunities. It was without doubt good result for them without having Fatih Terim at coaching position due of potential ban he could get and did get good response from last week game. 

It could be noted that it get needed motivation and confidence for Trabzonspor game which would be crucial for both sides without doubt on 26th December.

Trabzonspor continues to focus mostly into defence.

Trabzonspor continues getting wins with minumum scoreline this time becoming first side during this season to beat Hatayspor in their home ground but as always with Abdullah Avci it didnt show much attacking game.

In fact, it could be noted in all fairness Hatayspor has been side which did provide much more effective attacking game getting pretty good opportunities but didnt manage to convert them with good performance of Ugurcan Cakir. Even through Avci does get good result with his strong defensive game and his loss record is being low for his style of play, this same style does lead to loss of points when it matters most, which could be main reason why he still didnt experience league title despite of high level praise he is given from Turkish sports media. With Galatasaray tend to provide fast-paced game with good creativity at many games this season, Trabzonspor current mindset might not bring win on 26th December.

Argument which been stated by Turkish media that Avci per/point performance is better than Edwin Newton is statistically correct but to all respect Newton statistics were especially poor to use as reference.
