What happened in Turkish football today? 13/12/2021





Fenerbahce lost due of simple mistakes at defence.

Fenerbahce has lost to Gaziantep with 3:2 scoreline and did lose opportunity to get closer to the league leaders to 9 points due of simple defence mistakes.

It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce when looking entirely didnt provide very poor game as it looked for opportunities and willingness but due of 3 simple mistakes at the defence it conceded 2 goals while 3rd position ended up with penalty. One of the most dissappointing part from Fenerbahce perspective has been for sure providing simple mistakes from Gustavo and Kim Min Jae which usually expected due of strong performance and this to some extend could be due of lack of concentration. When coming to attackers, Fenerbahce did provide good wiling game but still it couldnt get more then 2 goals as Gaziantep show good defence during whole game but without doubt main reason for loss been mistakes of defenders.

Stating that, Gaziantep did stay focus for 90 minutes with using effectively mistakes from Fenerbahce and despite of conceding 2 goals, they did provide some strong organised defensive game.

Without doubt, Fenerbahce would need to focus for such simple defensive mistakes of the side especially those mistakes cant be done against Besiktas.

Galatasaray continues losing points at Super League.

Galatasaray continues getting some unwanted results at the domestic league as it lost to Sivasspor with 1:0 scoreline after conceding goal from Fajr on 81st minute.

Galatasaray continues showing two different performances between Europa League and Super League especially during returns as it didnt provide similar tempo game which it shown against Lazio during midweek which could be both due of concentration and focus to the game. It needs to noted that Galatasaray still created some positions with Feghouli and Diagne and hence didnt look specifically passive in attack but those attacks didnt look to be very effective. Therefore, this lack of providing fast tempo game against side did provide some difficulties for Galatasaray to find winning goal especially when playing against such organisation.

Sivasspor meanwhile did provide its strong performance as it provided strong rise of its performance in recent weeks and did look specifically organised which led them to get such crucial win.

Galatasaray continues showing two different performances both at Super League and Europa League but it does have opportunity from now on to focus into league until March.

Besiktas got confidence boost following win against Kayserispor

Besiktas has started its new chapter following resignation of Sergen Yalcin with win against Kayserispor and providing strong willingness during last 20 minutes of the game.

It could be argued if Besiktas did provide necessarily very good performance for 90 minutes but compare to recent games it did provide much more focus, fighting spirit and willingness t to win game which been very important especially with getting twice behind and generally having lack of self-belief which did come from previous game. Without doubt, such performance would be providing confidence boost prior to Fenerbahce derby game during next week while for Onder Karaveli been memorable night as he got great win for game where he is likely would be caretaker coach only for one game.

Besiktas didnt necessarily provided great game but this result got confidence boost following Sergen Yalcin leaving side.
