What happened in Turkish football today? 05/08/2021


 

Fernando Muslera had impacted to outcome against St.Johnstone

Galatasaray got unexpected draw against Scottish cup winners St.Johnstone with 1:1 scoreline at the game where Fernando Muslera unfortunetely did make simple mistake which costed him red card and penalty.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray without doubt has been better side from start to an end providing attacking style game with providing strong pressure and creating high amount of the opportunities from start to an end but did fail to convert chances which did went into hand of opponents as its self-belief did been rising with side providing strong defensive game and getting more organised. Conceded goal meanwhile did come with pretty simple position with Adem Aytac providing simple pass to back which led for Fernando Muslera to lose control of ball and hence fouling with red card to opponent. Possible point from Galatasaray has been to show strong reaction after conceding goal with Boey scoring goal with 3 minutes and finding his first goal on 1st position which would affect positively in upcoming weeks.

St.Johnstone didnt provide much issues to Galatasaray but did look to be providing needed defensive organisation which without doubt did led them to get such important draw and looking forward to 2nd leg game.

Therefore, Galatasaray didnt get outcome which it seeked for despite of providing needed pressure which been expected from them without doubt.

Trabzonspor got well-fought draw against Molde.

Goal battle between Trabzonspor and Molde during Conference League 3rd qualifying round has ended with 3:3 draw as both sides gave their best to get winning result from such tough tie.

As been noted beforehand, Trabzonspor did get most difficult opponent right now and this did affect to game while to some extend Trabzonspor did provide pretty good performance focussing into attacking game and to some extend it did been side which been closer to get win but didnt convert some chances. However, this result does show there is some absences at defence for side which without doubt did also have direct impact into this outcome. Still, it does look Trabzonspor is being much more better side when coming to attacking with providing needed pressure and continuing to do when it has conceded fighting until last minute and finding goal on that minute. However, it does need to solve defensive game for 2nd leg without doubt.

Molde on their part also provided strong resistance to Trabzonspor providing strong attacking game with always responding when conceding and hence leading game to be ended with 3:3 draw.

As scoreline does show, side did show good attacking game but could improve significantly with defensive game as this should be focus to Abdullah Avci.

Sivasspor got advantage scoreline from Dinamo Batumi game.

Sivasspor continues to be Turkish club which does bring some good news to nation and coefficient as it being only side to win tonight with 2:1 scoreline against Dinamo Batumi.

It needs to be noted that Sivasspor did provide much better performance which it showed against Petrocub, as their did dominate game with finding opportunities but couldnt convert them which did led them to concede on 2nd half. Stating that, Sivasspor did respond pretty strongly with scoring crucial goal straight after and finding on last minute with Kayode converting goal on last minute. With this performance, Sivasspor does provide some strong hope on this tie and are expected to get to play-off round.

Dinamo Batumi in all fairness did also provide good performance against Sivasspor getting with some opportunities providing confident strong pressure towards them and could provide some issues on 2nd leg.

Overall, Sivasspor did look to be better side and similar game will be expected from them during 2nd half.
