What happened in Turkish football today? 13/09/2021



 Trabzonspor does need to solve its defence.

Turkish Super League 4th week game between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray could be looked into two views where Trabzonspor showed strong comeback while losing 2:0 while opponent did lost that advantage in similar manner as previous week.

Trabzonspor it should be noted didnt have very good start of the game despite of showing good tempo game but its issue of defence which been visible during previous games has been clearly seen with 2 goals which been conceded from Galatasaray, especially during 1st one where wrong passes and lack of pressure to opponent did let them get such opportunity. However, positive note for them has been with staying on focus and continuing thinking to get win from this game which been seen from game. Even through after 2:2 Trabzonspor did reduce tempo, possibly with focus to get at least point, it has been side which provided much more pressure and could get win in the end of the night.

Trabzonspor once again provided strong attacking game but it is visible that it needs to solve its defence issue or otherwise it would need to score more goals then their would concede by each game.

Galatasaray needs to find reason why it lost tempo of the game during 2nd half for 2 weeks.

Galatasaray on their hand did lose 4 points during previous 2 games while winning game with 2:0 scoreline but ended with 2:2 which does provide some worries and physical issues at the side.

Galatasaray were slightly better side in the start of the game and with providing pressure in the front against Trabzonspor, with to some extend looking side which did play home not vice versa did deserved 2-goals due of Trabzonspor feeling under pressure. However, it did lose such dominance of the game during 2nd half which it did come with 2:1 scoreline and hence did concede goal from Nwakaeme. It needs to be focussed by head coach Fatih Terim why it did lose dominance which it showed in 1st half as it did issue with previous game. It is true that national team players did join side at short notice but still such game should provide some worry.

Even through Galatasaray are being 2-points behind league leaders bunch it needs to figure out this performance in last 2 weeks if it doesnt want to lose more points in upcoming weeks.

Sivasspor continue to be problematic opponent for Fenerbahce

Sivasspor continues to be problematic side for Fenerbahce as it did lose points once again to this side in recent games and especially Altay Bayindir needs to be self-critical with position which led to penalty kick.

Fenerbahce did provide strong well-focussed game but as it did meet with Sivasspor which provided probably its best game in this season did have issues to get through defensive game and also it needs to be admitted that side did use anti-football tactic during 2nd half which did led for Fenerbahce to lose tempo of the game, even through it did continue with providing pressure. Its been also dissapointing development with injuries of Irfan Can Kahveci and Marcel Tisserand which does make injured least up to 10 men which is worrying for upcoming weeks and Eintracht Frankfurt game at Europa League. There are some positive notes with side providing some fighting spirit but it could have get more dangerous opportunities during whole game.

Still, there is winning spirit in the side which with some injuries eventually recovering and physically side improving could be provided addtional bonus in upcoming weeks.

Gaziantep 2:0 Antalyaspor

Alanyaspor 1:0 Giresunspor
