Galatasaray did get very struggling win against Konyaspor.

Galatasaray has managed to get important win against Konyaspotr with minumum scoreline of 1:0 with goal scored on 4th minute even through Galatasaray did struggle during 2nd half with opponent getting opportunities back-to-back.

It needs to be mentioned that Konyaspor, who didnt lose game prior to this game, did have poor start of the game with making unexpected mistakes and panic performance to which Galatasaray without doubt used to its opportunity with providing strong pressure and finding goal from mistake of opponent. Meanwhile, even through Konyaspor did complain about foul which led to goal, it needs to be mentioned that it was legitimate goal which did come from misunderstanding. However, as game progressed Galatasaray did lose control of the game, with Konyaspor providing much more attacking game and during that half been forced to be defending on its opponent and has failed to provide much pressure. Willingness which been shown from Galatasaray without doubt would be seen as positive aspect but does rise question why it didnt provide for rest of the game and in fact did lose control in the end of the game.

Konyaspor without doubt did have very poor performance in the start of the game with conceding during that period but did improve as game developed with getting full control during 2nd half but didnt convert opportunities. Still, despite of losing its 1st game in this season, it did show why it got such record.

Galatasaray didnt provide much pressure during 2nd half with some players entering on the field but did provide very poor game with letting Konyaspor to get control of side.

 Marius Sumudica performance against Adana Demirspor gives some hope for rest of the season.

With win against Adana Demirspor with 2:0 scoreline, Yeni Malatyaspor has provided some direct impact to the side which been struggling without letting its in-form opponent to play its own game.

With being familiar with Super League and showing strong performance with other clubs only failing at Rizespor, it was highly expected for him to provide positive impact to the team. As been noted by Marius Sumudica himself during post-game interview, he did join side with saving team from relegation and if Yeni Malatyaspor with still improving how it would be performing could be achieving such performance as been noted by our blog for several times Sumudica always managed to show strong game with getting maximum with his squad quality. Time would show how successful he would be with achieving good outcomes but he did show some good signs against Adana Demirspor.

Therefore, Yeni Malatyaspor appointment could have some good results in upcoming weeks with some improvements.
