What happened in Turkish football today? 20/02/2021


 

Galatasaray gets 3 points against Alanyaspor despite of not showing great game.

League leaders Galatasaray has won very crucial game against Alanyaspor during Super League 26th week game with single goal from Emre Kilinc, but it needs to be noted that Alanyaspor has been side which did dominate game.

Without doubt, losing to Alanyaspor during last 3 games would been providing different perspective from both sides with Galatasaray being one under pressure and bit of stress while Alanyaspor would have good confidence. In fact, it was visible from Galatasaray tactical game to get an early goal to get control of the game and affect psychological pressure to opponent, which it did manage to do so. Even through psychologically it didnt affect negatively to Alanyaspor without doubt, it still get result which it seek for. Still, Galatasaray needs to be aware that it didnt show any performance in atttack during 2nd half being felt from higher pressure and hence this would been providing serious issue for upcoming games. It is true main reason is being related to psychological pressure from losing to opponent in previous games, but this shouldnt be case for sides which would been fighting for title. 

Alanyaspor despite of losing game, did provide strong confident attacking performance partly in 1st half and entirely during 2nd half without being able to pass Fernando Muslera. Despite of losing game, Alanyaspor did provide promising performance for upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray did get very important win with providing strong and focussed game at defence, but its hard to say its been side which deserved more when looking at game entirely.

Trabzonspor has won due of high focus to get this result.

Trabzonspor has managed to get crucial win against Basaksehirspor during Super League 26th week game with 1:0 scoreline as club did come out with 11 absences which included 7 Covid 19 cases.

It needs to be noted that both sides didnt provide high level tempo game which been dominated more or less from Trabzonspor absences and poor performance of Basaksehirspor in recent weeks as there are still finding themselves at  relegation zone. Without doubt, main stars of the game has been at Trabzonspor are Yusuf Sari who did find great goal after entering to field after 1 minute with great counter-attacking single hand run and goalkeeper Kaan Mosturoglu who provided important save in the end of the game. In overall, with game being played with very limited opportunities, this habit and focus to win games has brought win to Trabzonspor without doubt.

Trabzonspor still keeps its 6 point difference from league leaders but it would need to hear better news from Covid19 positive results as it would be meeting with Fenerbahce next weekend.

Fenerbahce could recieve strong resistant Goztepe.

Fenerbahce are going to play with Goztepe during Super League with focussing to keep its position at leadership as it could meet difficult opponent which tends to focus highly while playing against big clubs.

Without doubt, focus of the game would be once again to Mesut Ozil which did start to be playing in his club from last week and does provide some improvement and would be expected to provide assist for his club prior to Trabzonspor with giving signs without doubt he would be doing so in regular base. Fenerbahce even through is not playing especially great game which is present to eye, it still does get results during those games and hence would be expected to provide once again highly organised game. Goztepe meanwhile is going some changes looking for good result, and without doubt would be aiming to show top game with strong resistance.

Fenerbahce are favourites without doubt but it would be competitive game with Goztepe not giving to easily for this game.
