What happened in Turkish football today? 29/08/2021


 

Galatasaray got draw against Kasimpasa while showing not dominant game.

Turkish Super League 3rd week game between Kasimpasa and Galatasaray has ended with 2:2 scoreline at the game where Istanbul giant couldnt hold 2:0 leadership as both sides didnt lose yet game this season.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray even when it was winning game with 2:0 scoreline didnt provide high level tempo performance with looking to be signs of tiredness possibly due of game against Randers while opponent style of game also affected how Galatasaray did perform as it didnt provide much pressure and creativity. Still, it was important willingness from Morutan who showed strong willingness in the front using his impressive skills and also being very agressive in the attack which led for him looking and aiming to convert opportunities as two goals from Galatasaray did come from using his opportunities which didnt end up being goal. Coming to game as whole, Galatasaray showed some relexation after 2:0 and with Kasimpasa scoring in the end of the 1st half did provide strong motivation and confidence to side to continue during 2nd half. With hence providing strong attacking game during 2nd half it did find also goal with Umut Bozok and it continued to do so after 2:2. Galatasaray it needs to be mentioned had some issues with rising tempo which would likely be focussed by Fatih Terim.

Kasimpasa even through didnt provide strong game in the start of game, it didnt rise tempo as game developed even through it did get 2:0 behind and got even upper hand for most part of the 2nd half.

Galatasaray didnt provide very good game without getting upper hand for most part of the game and with such performance it could be stated that it gained 1 pont.

Fenerbahce continues its undefeated form with beating Altay.

Fenerbahce continues its undefeated start of the season as it got win against Altay who did come to this game also with 100% record but Fenerbahce did get win with scoring 2 goals without conceding.

It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce didnt have very good start of the game as it did provide with pretty low tempo but similar case has been withf Altay who also provided defensive game during 1st half which did lead for it to be played with low tempo and also with lack of opportunities. 2nd half has been changed directly as Fenerbahce did rise tempo pretty significantly with providing pressure to Altay to 2nd half 2 goals between 51-55th minute but could have scored more as Ferdi Kadioglu during this period provided key performance in this period with scoring goal and providing great assist towards Enner Valencia. Hence, despite of some absences due of injuries and some transfers to be awaiting Fenerbahce did score 5 goals without conceding goal in 3 games which been mostly due of great coaching of Vitor Pereira.

Altay who did do 2 out of 2 in this season until now and being leaders of the league prior to this game did play its 1st game against title contenders and hence been first serious test and despite of providing some good positions, it became clear its not at this level.

Fenerbahce got another win especially during 2nd half against Altay and with providing this kind of pressure did very important goal and would enter to national team break at high morale. 

Trabzonspor get 3 out of 3 despite of not being physically great condition tonight.

Trabzonspor continues its undefeated record against side which didnt gain point yet thanks to goal from Anthony Nwakaeme on 7th minute as side looked to be tired from difficult midweek game against Roma.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor could consider itself lucky in sense of fixture as it did provide lots of effort against Roma at Conference League play-off round and with also losing to side with 3:0 scoreline, it was expected that physically and morally it would affect negatively. Therefore, playing side which does have pretty low performance of Giresunspor who didnt start season as it was seeking for. In fact, its been crucial for Trabzonspor to score goal on 7th minute as it could have some difficulty moments but it did achieve as it got leadership in the table at the end of the week with 1 more goal from Fenerbahce. Therefore, without providing very strong and confident performance for 90 minutes it did get very important win and would enter to national team break at good mood and confidence.

Giresunspor does continue its poor performance as it stays without points after 3 weeks with failing to provide strong attacking game and converting opportunities which they get. It does look this area would be mostly focussed in training session during national team break.

Trabzonspor did get important 3 points taking account that it did play weakest performance during this season and would enter to break as leaders and would now focus to improve its performance.
