What happened in Turkish football today? 21/12/2021



Cornelius led side to get important win.

Trabzonspor got another win with getting from behind against Altay thanks to two goals from Cornelius as side is getting closer with its aim to win title even if only in December.

Trabzonspor did have surprisingly poor start of the game with failing to get control of the ball during 1st half, letting for Altay to be one do control possession and getting into possession which led for its goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir to provide high number of saves with conceded goal was on level which no goalkeeper could be saved. However, without doubt with some changes at field and half-time talk from Abdullah Avci did have strong impact to the game as Trabzonspor much more agressive at front which led for Cornelius to score 2 goals and continuing into getting high number of opportunities for 90 minutes.As side continues showing strong performance in this season.

Despite of losing to game, it needs to be mentioned that Altay did provide one of its best performances during this season getting into high number of opportunities with not being able to pass Cakir.

Trabzonspor continues its high level performance with being single handedly in the top with being point difference from others.

Galatasaray lost game from its loaned player

Galatasaray continues losing points at the Super League for weeks as ut loses to Adana Demirspor as it conceded goals from side loan player Yunus Akgun.

Galatasaray continues showing ineffective performabce at the Super League without getting into upper hand and providing slow tempo which continued in the club and most importantly there is not much areas which side could criticise regarding of referee. It is true that Galatasaray did get into high high possession so there were given some efforts from players without doubt but still it wasnt enough to get win in such difficult and crucial moments at the side as it currently being 20 points behind leaders. Therefore, side needs to go through to some crucial changes both mentally and training session.

Adana Demirspor meanwhile continues showing top performance at the Super League since Montella while Yusuf Akgun without doubt being star of the game showing incredible confidence.

Galatasaray is being without doubt at the big crises and it needs to figure out what is wrong at the team for second half.

Fenerbahce would aim to respond folloiwng draw against Besiktas

Fenerbahce would play its first game following termination of contract of Vitor Pereira against Fatih Karagumruk during Super League 18th week game.

Fenerbahce hence would be seeking to have new beginning following Pereira living side with very likely Tahir Karapinar would be coming out as caretaker coach, position which he did held 2 years ago during which period he did get mixed results. It would be interesting to see how side would be responding if there were lots of rumours that players were not entirely happy with Vitor Pereira job at the side. Another interesting aspect is that Fenerbahce legend Volkan Demirel would be coming to the game as Fatih Karagumruk in his 2nd coaching career game. It would be tough game since Fatih Karagumruk are one of the sides which tend to show strong positive game in the league.

Fenerbahce would need to show some response from Besiktas draw but there would be playing with tough opponent.
