What happened in Turkish football today? 13/02/2021



 Fenerbahce has got very important win against Fatih Karagumruk.

Fenerbahce has got very important win against Fatih Karagumruk with 2:1 scoreline with providing highly focussed game even through it did have some nervous moments during 2nd half of the game as opponent tried to get comeback from 2:0 scoreline.

After losing to Galatasaray in previous Super League game and to Basaksehirspor at Turkish Cup, it was important to get win against one of the most in-form side of Fatih Karagumruk and it was visible from their performance during 1st half it tried to get scoreline on early stage which led for them to get 2:0 scoreline within 60 minutes. Due of difficult previous games, as it played against Basaksehirspor for 120 minutes with most of the for 90 minutes, did led for them to be feeling tired during 2nd half which led for them to concede some opportunities and a goal but it still needs to be admitted it did show important reaction and has regained motivation. This game has been also first game where Mesut Ozil did start it and did provide good performance during game and did play his part for this win. Fenerbahce until it got become tired did show good game focussing into showing an attacking game.

Fatih Karagumruk on their part did show good game especially after 2:0 using opportunity of opponent to be feeling tired but it did provide pretty poor performance in 1st half so needs to question why it provided reaction after 2:0.

Fenerbahce has regained leadership for 21 hours and with its opponents at top expected to play under snowfall, it did get potentially crucial 3 points for upcoming weeks.

Trabzonspor continues to be showing top level game against Gaziantep.

Trabzonspor continues its winning series with beating Gaziantep during Super League 25th week with 1:0 scoreline, even through it needs to be admitted its opponent did provide strong resistance to opponent.

Trabzonspor player Antonios Bakasetas with playing only his 3rd game in his new club, continues to be taking his role as main goalscorer in the side with getting header and possibly getting win which it seek for especially with this being as expected to be tough one with Gaziantep providing strong resistance to side. In fact, Trabzonspor didnt start in very good manner with allowing opponent to control game but as game continued it start going forward into much effective manner with taking account as Bakasetas takes his role of goalscorer. Even through Trabzonspor possibly didnt dominate in similar manner as it did during recent weeks, it did show very good performance with such game and continues to be close to top bunches keeping themselves as slight outsiders of race to top spots. Trabzonspor is being meanwhile best performed during 2nd half of season and without doubt is currently being side to beat which could be very difficult task for its opponent in upcoming weeks.

Gaziantep meanwhile did show some good performance on their part with showing strong organised without allowing Trabzonspor to get full control and did provide some promising view from this game.

Trabzonspor continues its top level game with getting win against difficult opponent and does look above highs into top spots and being to some extend best club right now.

Galatasaray would play for win during expected heavy snow.

Galatasaray are going to play against Kasimpasa during Super League 25th week game as it is expected that game would be playing under heavy snowfall despite of changing kick-off time to 19:00 to 16:00 mainly to reduce freezing of field.

With Istanbul and most part of Turkey getting ready to what is forecasted to be coldest period since 1987, all clubs which would be playing on 14 and 15th February are also showing preparedness for this abnormal weather. Galatasaray on other hand even through did been relegated from Turkish Cup from Alanyaspor, does come out as leaders but in same time shares points with Besiktas and Fenerbahce so its need to win this game to keep its race for top position continuing. It is, as been mentioned, in good motivation hence and with new signings providing strong attacking game right now would aim to continue to do so with Henry Onyekuru and Mostafa Mohammed expected to closest to find goals. Kasimpasa would be having tough game and it would be important for them to show right focus and reaction to game.

All top 3 need to get points as much as it can during last 17 games and Galatasaray is well-aware of this task against Kasimpasa.
