What happened in Turkish football today? 14/03/2021



 Fenerbahce lost to last-spot Genclerbirligi at home.

Fenerbahce continues to be losing points at its home ground after losing to last-place Genclerbirligi, which didnt win for 11 games, with 2:1 scoreline and got huge damage for its title race especially when losing to weakest opponent in league.

Fenerbahce did provide very poor performance during whole game with providing very slow tempo game without providing too much into danger to opponent with most surprising factor been that it did start game in pretty good manner controlling ball for looking opportunities but when it did score with Filip Novak which been without doubt great goal, rather then getting self-confidence it went worser with performance with Genclebirligi in fact start showing much more stronger performance being side with creating high opportunities both with 1:1 and 2:1 scoreline with showing good counterattacking game and strong defence. If there wasnt performance of Altay Bayindir which stayed focussed did provide important saves with Genclerbirligi could won with higher scoreline. Fenerbahce urgently needs to solve its home game but even importantly come to Besiktas game next week as it would be losing point difference would be 8 points with game in hand.

Genclerbirligi meanwhile even through stay at critical position in the league, did get very important win for its fight to stay at the league and motivation for upcoming games. Without doubt for sight coach Ozcan Bizati starting his period at club with such win.

Fenerbahce did provide pretty poor performance as it lost 6 game at home ground which been most losses in one season for club and this been main reason for get far from top spot.

Trabzonspor tends to be losing concentration with getting further from title aims

Trabzonspor continues to be having with its performance as it has drawn with Erzurumspor with 0:0 scoreline without providing too much opportunities and failing to provide significant pressure to opponent.

Without doubt losing game to Fenerbahce 3 weeks ago did lead to decline of performance in Trabzonspor as it found itself further from title race and currently could found itself into risk of 4th place as Alanyaspor is being 3 points behind them. With such loss of concentration and not being motivated for title race did lead for Trabzonspor to provide pretty poor tempo game which meanwhile did go into hand of Erzurumspor. In fact, its been Erzurumspor with its performance on 2nd half which start seeking for win with meeting such not highly performed opponent did been one which been raised tempo with them.With game being open up did also provide opportunities to Trabzonspor but its hard to call to them effective. This game does show that with being 11 points behind Besiktas, with Istanbul side have 1-game in hand, did lead for them to have self-belief for title. Trabzonspor hence need to focus once again to its upcoming games.

 Erzurumspor meanwhile which did have some poor outcomes in recent weeks did provide pretty good focus for this game and aimed to control game and been side to focus into win. Despite of result, it could get confident for upcoming games which it needed.

Trabzonspor as been needed to focus into upcoming games which could be hard for them with getting further from league title aims.

Galatasaray regained motivation for title race

After losing 5 points during last 2 weeks and some internal and external issues which Galatasaray was going through in such critical period in the league, it has managed to beat Kayserispor thanks to Radamel Falcao and Henry Oneykuru goals.

It needs to be noted even through it still could be argued that Galatasaray didnt provide entirely dominant game, it still showed much better performance comparing to last games with making pretty low number mistakes and been side which did dominate game. In fact, this game to some extend did show that it does have strong attacking players and with purchase of Mustafa Muhammed, did provide wake up call to Falcao who did score 3 goals in last 2 games and could possibly good partnership with Muhammed during two attacking style of game. Its been also important for Onyekuru finding 2 goals as he did show some decline in recent week. Only area on the field which does need to go through for Fatih Terim is being defensive game especially Luyindama who due of simple mistakes has led for Kayserispor to find goal when scoreline has been 0:0.

Still, this been important win for Galatasaray and would provide confidence to fight for top position in the league.
