What happened in Turkish football today? 21/11/2021



Miguel Crespo has brought crucial win to Fenerbahce at last minute of the game.

Fenerbahce got 2:1 win against Galatasaray during Super League 13th week game with winning goal from Miguel Crespo in the end of the game as side did play around 20 minutes with 10 men but did show some strong character.

As been noted prior to the game, Fenerbahce did come to the game with having some pressure both due of recent performance of the side in the league and also lots of criticism so it has been especially important for them. Therefore, it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce needed to show some strong reaction which their did both with changing tactics from Vitor Pereira and also players showing good performance. It could be stated that Fenerbahce didnt especially full control of the game especially during 1st half it did provide strong reaction at 2nd half especially from defenders especially Kim Min Jae did become wall while Berke Ozer with showing strong and confident performance in the goal with important actions especially saving from goal. Without doubt its being very important for both Mesut Ozil and Miguel Crespo did find very important goals as both players been heavily criticised due of performance in recent weeks. Therefore, Fenerbahce did show some strong character on important win.

Galatasaray it needs to be stated that did have very good start of the game with finding an early goal on 14th minute with Kerem Akturkoglu and has been side which did provide control of the game with creating high number of opportunities and pressure which did come with Fenerbahce strong defenders with Kim Min Jae being on the top which it couldnt pass. Stating that, with help of supporters, Galatasaray hence did control game with providing high number of pressure to Berke Ozer who without doubt did provide high level performance while there been lots of criticism of goal from Mbiaye Diagne but it needs to be stated that he did push Mergim Berisha so it has been foul but it is true that during game referee did make some questionable decisions to both sides and hence statements from side could be understood. However, Galatasaray with controlling game did make issues at defence which led for Fenerbahce to get win.

In the end of the day, Fenerbahce been side which did crucial win and kept them to some extend at title race while Galatasaray did lose another crucial points for same aim.

Besiktas didnt show any fighting spirit.

Besiktas continues showing poor performance in the league especially at away games this time losing to in-form Alanyaspor at the game where players did lack showing fighting spirit at all.

With being 10 points behind Trabzonspor and also more or less ending its European journey there was strong expectation for Besiktas to be providing some character in this game and even if doesnt manage to get win, to show some strong fighting spirit. Even through its did possess ball for most amount of time and showed attacking game, it was lacking all this factors with players doesnt tend to believe to getting back at the title race which is most dangerous aspect of side. All of the characters which it shown during previous season when winning double seems to be very far in this season, and Sergen Yalcin who is unhappy with this attitude needs urgently to find solution to this.

Besiktas needs to come up as it providing very poor performance and with this performance would get further and further for title aims each week.

Trabzonspor being strong favourites against Gaziantep

Trabzonspor would be aiming its undefeated performance and get closer to its title aims as it would be coming out against mediocre Gaziantep and even through its not easy opponent, Trabzonspor is being strong favourite.

Even through there is been some decline of level of performance in recent weeks, Trabzonspor still managed to continue winning games which would be providing them strong confidence and motivation and belief for winning title after longer then 30 years. Abdullah Avci without doubt did create side which he seeked for with showing quality game in whole field and hence would be continue to dominate league, being clearly strong candidate in such early stage. Gaziantep on their part would need to provide strong defence if it wants to get at least from this game.

Trabzonspor hence would be coming out as favourites and would be expecting to continue its confident performance in this game.
