What happened in Turkish football today? 30/10/2021



Besiktas lost crucial points against Hatayspor.

Besiktas got unexpected loss against Hatayspor to some extend but it needs to be noted that both sides did provide high level game as Hatayspor did gain 2nd spot with such win and passing its opponents for 3 points.

Even through it does mention that its been unexpected win, there was expectation for Besiktas to be having tough moment as Hatayspor does provide high level performance in recent games and without doubt did find itself at the 2nd spot. It also needs to be mentioned that Besiktas tends to be showing poor performance in away games did also effect with its performance. To some extend, it needs to be mentioned that Hatayspor did want to be highly focussed and wanted to get win in this game without doubt even more than Besiktas. Another factor which been case from Besiktas that it tends to show low level game prior to Champions League games which tends to be issue for years in this season. Without doubt, this loss of 3 points also means that point difference with Trabzonspor has been raised to 7 points which makes next week against them even more crucial.

Hatayspor meanwhile did show some confident game showing that its not at the 2nd spot prior to game by mistake and did keep them in this spot with finding early goal and providing high focus performance against Besiktas with high level performance.

Besiktas continues losing some important points this time being damaged by Hatayspor at away point and would come out to much win game against Trabzonspor. 

Fenerbahce continues its decline, this time losing to Konyaspor.

Fenerbahce continues with losing back-to-back as it lost its 3rd game since becoming leaders in the league, this time losing to Konyaspor with 2:1 scoreline and finds itself right now 8 points behind league leaders Trabzonspor.

Without doubt, Fenerbahce is finding itself into serious crises both mentally and physically as it continues with showing pretty ineffective game against Konyaspor where it did provide pretty passive game with opponents showing more fighting and desiring game which led them to find 2 goals including great shot from Dikmen on 3rd minute which provided motivation to Konyaspor. With Fenerbahce wasting 1st half, it did provide better game on 2nd half with giving signs that it was aiming to at least draw but did find only one goal with nice free-kick from Irfan Can Kahveci after which Fenerbahce raised tempo even more but couldnt find winning goal with Konyaspor doing everything to prevent opponent to score. It needs to be mentioned that Valencia did provide good opportunities being once again one of the willing players to find goal but didnt convert its opportunities.

Konyaspor meanwhile did show strong willingness from 1st minutes getting ahead and finding great goal with Dikmen and did continue high tempo with finding 2nd goal and following that despite of letting Fenerbahce to show attacking game has been side to control game.

Fenerbahce as been noted has lost 3rd game back-to-back and does provide some worrying view for upcoming games with Pereira needs to find solution of not winning games right now.

Trabzonspor wins games even with poor performance.

Trabzonspor continues its winning streak as it beaten last-spot Rizespor at what turned out to be tough game but did get win from Nwakaeme goal towards empty goal.

Despite of being only undefeated side in the Super League right now, there is observation of decline with how Trabzonspor during last 2 weeks but to some extend getting 6 points while it shows not as effective performance in start of the season would be providing high motivation and confidence in short for next week Besiktas game and also in overall. It needs to be noted that Rizespor did also provide one of the most organised and compact games in this game compare to previous ones which by itself did make issues for Trabzonspor during game. Still, even if side does lose tempo which it had in the start of the season, it did stay focussed and did fight for win which it did get in the but it is clear it needs to improve with agressive and willing football when it would be meeting with Besiktas next week.

Stating that, winning 6 points while not showing dominating game could provide in same time some worry for supporters of side but same time will provide view that if it wins while playing poorly, what would happen if it would get into level which it had in start of season.
