What happened in Turkish football today? 25/12/2021



Trabzonspor kept confident leadership with goalless draw against Basaksehirspor.

Even through there has been high expectations for Super League 19th week game between Trabzonspor and Basaksehirspor has ended with 0:0 scoreline.

With this result, winner has been without doubt Trabzonspor as it kept its leadership in the table with point difference of its opponents and did get important 1 point from another side which is providing good performance and been expected to provide some difficult moments towards them during 90 minutes. It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor did provide also positive game with creating high number of opportunities and getting closer to goals several times but in same did provide performance with respect to its opponent recent form. Therefore, Abdullah Avci would be happy with this performance and result for sure.

Basaksehirspor also provided some strong attacking game with looking for opportunities for 90 minutes and did show some positive game but couldnt overpass and didnt reduce point difference with its opponents.

Trabzonspor without doubt is being more satisfied with this outcome and would be looking forward to 2nd half of the season.

Galatasaray won its first game after 7 games.

Galatasaray has won after long period of time with beating in-form Antalyaspor and did show one of its best performance in the domestic league during recent period of time.

Therefore, with winning its first game in duration of last 7 games, this has led Galatasaray at least to enter to the mid-season break of one week with high motivation with Kerem Akturkoglu showing outstanding game reminding why he is being one of the key players right now and why number of clubs. In fact, it was known that number of scouts of top clubs were present viewing him and hence this could be reason with him getting extra motivation. Stating that Galatasaray did look to be very willing to win this game with controlling game not letting Antalyaspor not much with opportunities during game.

Antalyaspor on their part did look to be pretty passive without providing too much pressure on the field compare to previous games.

Galatasaray did win its first game for long time and does provide some hope for upcoming weeks.

Fenerbahce will come out to Yeni Malatyaspor with huge pressure.

Fenerbahce would be playing its last of 1st half of the season against Yeni Malatyaspor as side would be looking to end its unlucky period.

It needs to be mentioned that since sacking of Pereira, Fenerbahce did show decline of its performance not able to beat Fatih Karagumruk who did play with 9 men for 60 minutes and hence side doesnt provide much hope. In addition there is report that supporters from start of the game would provide protest towards Ali Koc and his administration which could provide lots of pressure to players and turn into advantage for Yeni Malatyaspor as it would be interesting to see how their would use such chaos condition at the game.

Fenerbahce would be under big pressure both due of recent results and pressure from supporters and it would be interesting to how their would be responding.
