What happened in Turkish football today? 16/01/2022



Galatasaray lost to Hatayspor despite winning game with 2:1 scoreline after 1st half.

Galatasaray has lost Super League 20th week game against Hatayspor with 4:2 scoreline despite of ending 1st half with lead of 2:1 scoreline as 1st game for new coach Gabriel Torrent didnt go as planned.

It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did provide in pretty positive manner as side did looked to be additional motivated with Gabriel Torrent with looking into opportunities and finding goal from Emre Kilinc who tend to score mostly at away game. In addition to this, Galatasaray also found disputable penalty position which was not scored by Patrick van Aanholdt following poor penalty shot, and later Hatayspor did score on penalty goal. With finding great free kick from wonderkid Kerem Akturkoglu led for side to be ending to 2nd half with 2:1 leadership and high motivation but Hatayspor compare to Galatasaray did come into high focus and reaction with looking mostly for counter-attacks after break and found 3 goals. Without doubt, red card from Taylan Antalyali on 83rd minute when scoreline been 3:2 has made things easier with Lobjanidze found final goal on last minute. In addition, Galatasaray didnt convert penalty which had affected to outcome.

Hatayspor on their part didnt have very good start of the game but did have very good reaction as game continued with being side which controlled game on 2nd half and showed great comeback from 2:1.

Galatasaray didnt provide very strong attacking game and Torrent didnt struggle to play against Hatayspor especially on 2nd half.

Trabzonspor gained difficult point against Sivasspor.

Trabzonspor did lose 4 points in duration of 3 weeks as it has drawn against Sivasspor as game been played in difficult conditions for most time of 2nd half and side didnt provide very good game.

Trabzonspor is being on decline to some extend right now as even through it still has only 1 loss during whole season, it starts getting draws much more often as opponents more or less start figuring it out how to play against this side. However, with having 10 point difference from Konyaspor and lower sides losing some points in regular points, this points could be seen as getting them closer to title. This is especially true during Sivasspor game as many things didnt go rightfully with them as it did concede goal from simple goal from Ugurcan Cakir, weather conditions and generally not very good performance. Its been important for side to find goal in short notice which it did with Abdulkadir Omur but as been noted it didnt show very confident strong performance.

Therefore, when looking into this circumstances this would be seen for sure as +1 point for Trabzonspor as it continue its road for title in the season.

Fenerbahce players has accepted faith of this season

Even through Fenerbahce did get 1 point with 1:1 scoreline against Antalyaspor, it did provide very poor game with only having 1 shot on target which been goal and provided very passive game.

To some extend, Fenerbahce did get this 1 point due of the factor that Antalyaspor didnt provide much creativity and does lack attacking players even through without doubt there been side which did control game for 90 minutes with looking for opportunities despite of controlling ball. Therefore, it could be confidently stated that there been side which did lose 3 points in this game while Fenerbahce has been incredibly lucky even through it doesnt provide much hope for future. Ismail Kartal did only have few days to provide some changes but more crucial side didnt have this feeling and fighting spirit which we used to see after new coach is been appointed. Fenerbahce are lacking self-confidence and motivation and this been seen in the side.

It hence looks like Fenerbahce has accepted faith of this season and Ismail Kartal has difficult task to led players get out of this psychology.
