What happened in Turkish football today? 21/01/2021


 

Fenerbahce didnt show too much attacking tempo game.

Turkish Super League 20th week game between Sivasspor and Fenerbahce has ended with 1:1 scoreline in the game which been provided with low amount of opportunities from both sides which ended up being with limited game.

It needs to be reminded that game been played in pretty cold weather which did affect to performance of both sides with also having trouble to get adapted to poor condition of stadium. This especially been case for Fenerbahce as it failed to get full control of the tempo of the game without being able to create high amount of opportunities with only finding goal from penalty which did come from big defensive issue where prior to hand ball, Sivasspor players passed too much which led to mistake which had outcome to penalty. It could be noted that there were some signs from body language that their didnt want to win game but did have issue to go much which could been due of condition of field and also tiredness from recent high number of games. Luis Gustavo meanwhile did provide very good performance possibly played most important role for game to be ending at least with draw.

Sivasspor even though might see this 1 point as strong plus for them due of recent poor result but when taking account that Fenerbahce didnt play at best condition, it could provided much better attacking with getting with such condition opponent.

Fenerbahce did fail to show very good attacking game with having issues to get too much into attacking getting important 1 point from difficult away fixture.

Besiktas has got confident result against Fatih Karagurmuk

Besiktas continues its confident performance in the league as got confident and calm win against Fatih Karagurmuk with 4:1 scoreline and continues its leadership at the league with 1 week left until mid-season. 

In fact, it needs to be noted that Fatih Karagumruk when looking how their have performed during previous weeks was expected to provide much more problematic issues to Besiktas but with side not having perfect squad during this game and also good confidence of Besiktas with also getting good result did put them into favourite. It does need to be mentioned that side did provide dominant performance during whole game but did struggle to find needed goal until 42nd minute as it couldnt overpass good defence of Fatih Karagumruk even through it did some good opportunities. Still, after Vincent Aboubakar did find goal on 42nd minute it made task easier for Besiktas with also literally getting wind behind their back with providing strong attacking game finding 3 more goals and could even get more on 2nd half. Only issue is been to concede goal from penalty which did prevent them to get clear scoreline once again.

Fatih Karagumruk important absences due of game bans and injuries did affect today's game and it try mainly to provide defensive game which it didnt manage to do against attacking focussed opponent.

Besiktas continues its leadership in the league with showing confident dominating games but it should stay focussed as it is being without doubt tough season with 22 weeks.

Galatasaray showed great reaction from last week loss.

Galatasaray shown very good reaction with winning last place Denizlispor with 6:1 scoreline and regained motivation and confidence from losing last week game against Besiktas as Fernando Muslera returned to team after 7 month absence.

It needs to be admitted that this game is difficult to get into consideration with taking into position of Denizlispor as it is located at last place and failed to provide very good results in the recent week. Still, it needs to be noted that Galatasaray did come out in good condition focussing to get good game with good results which could be seen determination to create dangerous opportunities from start which led them to find 2 goals at 14th minute. This early goals led opponent to lose even more confidence and go for more opportunities which led them to get 6:1 scoreline. Important part should be of course given to Fernando Muslera which did provide high level game with some important saves looking like he wasnt absent with very serious injury. In fact, this result could be also related with Muslera being back as with all respect to other goalkeepers in side, provided confidence for back of the goal to other players.

Galatasaray got result which it seeked for from last week game result and regardless of opponent got confidence for upcoming weeks.
