What happened in Turkish football today? 12/09/2021



 Both Trabzonspor and Galatasaray showed high tempo game.

Highly anticipated game between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray has been ended with 2:2 scoreline as Trabzonspor did get back from 2:0 loss as both sides did provide high tempo game for most amount of time which led for high quality game.

Even through Trabzonspor did concede 2 goals during 1st 33 minutes, it did start game in pretty good form with looking for high amount of opportunities and keeping game at high tempo but it was visible during this period that they do have some issues with defence which did provide some freedom at the front for Galatasaray. To some extend, both goals which did come from Galatasaray did come from mistakes of defence which been used effectively by Emre Kilinc who could be selected as player of the game if Trabzonspor didnt get comeback. However, what is been important from Trabzonspor is to able to be staying focussed, belief and fighting spirit which led them to provide some opportunities which did come with well-fought goal from Cornelius and also with Nwakaeme which continues to score each week.

Galatasaray on they part did have good start of the game and even through it did let Trabzonspor to get into some opportunities during 1st half, it would be satisfied with how it performed into defence without providing too much loss of control to Trabzonspor and did lose defensive issues which were present with opponent did use its opportunities with Emre Kilinc which among Halil Dervisoglu were best players on the field for Galatasaray but following 2nd half with Emre Kilinc coming out due of injury did lead for them to provide high control and tempo compare to 1st half. However, stating that it still continued with showing strong character and did look for opportunities but did lose tempo which possibly did come from tiredness. Still, it could be stated that during this season this been one of the few games which their showed good game.

Therefore 1st game between potential title contenders did fulfill its expectations and even through this scoreline will not make any side happy, it did provide some good signs for upcoming weeks. 

Fenerbahce lost its 1st points against Sivasspor but did provide strong fighting performance until end.

Turkish Super League 4th week game between Fenerbahce and Sivasspor has been ended 1:1 draw as both sides did provide high tempo and attacking game focussing into getting win as both sides had different but important reason to do so.

Fenerbahce meanwhile did lose its 1st points and goal during this season especially taking account that conceded which did come from controversial penalty decision which been decided by VAR. It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce has been better side during 1st half even through opponents were not far and did get deserved goal thanks to Osayi-Samuel after which it did more confidence and control. However, conceding in the end of the 2nd half especially in such manner did possibly effect to 2nd half even through it did provide strong fighting spirit and attacking performance. Stating that there were many stoppages due of injuries and VAR checking in 2nd half which negatively affected to tempo but still as been mentioned Fenerbahce. Therefore, Fenerbahce were not in level of 1st half but still showed strong willing game which should be seen as positive note for upcoming games.

Sivasspor which did have poor start of the season and also not great during this game did see this game as turning point which could easily described why they provided performance both physically and with tempo and this point would provide them needed confidence and morale.

Fenerbahce tends to have tough games against Sivasspor and this been one of them but as been noted providing strong performance and not giving up could provided lots of positive to them.

Besiktas got confident win and strong game against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Besiktas got confident win against Yeni Malatyaspor thanks to the 2 goals which been scored during first 10 minutes by Michy Batshiayi and Kevin Nkoudou as it did make task for Besiktas significantly easy.

Besiktas without doubt did dominate game from beginning to an end with being side which did provide strong attacking game and not letting opponents to provide any threat. Without doubt, Besiktas did make very strong and competitive squad which mainly focussed to Champions League and hence is being above from other opponents and this been visible during this game. It needs to be noted that with looking in this game's performance Miralem Pjanic has also shown strong adaptation to this team with providing strong game and even through he didnt score goal, he did provide great assists to  Batshuayi and also been pretty confident in the attack. Yeni Malatyaspor didnt provide strong game but there is position of penalty which could lead for side to get ahead but wasnt given by coach. Stating that, with how Besiktas even that penalty was given and converted, it would been difficult for them to win game.

Besiktas hence did show strong confident game and got great motivational boost prior to Borussia Dortmund game at Champions League.
