What happened in Turkish football today? 19/01/2022



Both Trabzonspor and Giresunspor provided top game.

Black sea derby game has been one of the most exciting games of this season as Trabzonspor and Giresunspor game has ended with 1:1 draw with 2nd half provided top level and high tempo performance from both sides.

It needs to be noted that without doubt this game has been seen for Trabzonspor to be tough fixture as Giresunspor has been in form side in recent weeks and does get outstanding results against top clubs and it has been turned out just like that without doubt. It needs to be mentioned that even through Trabzonspor did been side which been controlled 1st half, its been different from 2nd half when Trabzonspor provided much more attacking game but which did look like slightly panic game as it was seeking for attacks and shots on goal. With providing such game there has been possibility for Giresunspor to provide organised counter-attack which it did just that with finding goal with Umut Nayir on 69th minute. With getting goal from Cornelius, it needs to be mentioned that Bakasetas not scoring 2 goals, even through its been great saves from Okan Kocuk without doubt, still continues showing decline of performance.

On other side of the coin, Giresunspor goalkeeper Okan Kocuk has been without doubt best player of the game with getting 2 saves from penalties and also provided important saves. Whole Giresunspor side did provide strong performance but Kocuk is been reason for 1 point.

Trabzonspor continues losing points as this been 3 draws out of last 4 games and even through its been on top in confident manner, it should start finding ways to win again so it wont get panic momment towards end.

Fenerbahce gets win against Altay which would be important for motivation.

Fenerbahce has got important win against struggling Altay with 2:1 scoreline  with Irfan Can Kahveci providing top level performance in recent weeks with playing crucial role with this game win.

With Fenerbahce providing not very good performance in recent weeks and being on decline both mentally and physically without doubt did come out for win but with conceding on 14th minute did provide some worry to the side but with Fenerbahce did start improving game after 30th minute slowly started getting into control of the game with finding goal on 37th minute with Kahveci and did show better game on 2nd half even through its not being ideal. However, it is being most important for Fenerbahce to get win in this game regardless how this win would be coming and hence it did provide in such manner game and provided needed pressure. Ismail Kartal would be satisfied as it ended such presure and lack of confidence and now it needs to focus how to improve performance.

Altay did provide good start of the game with getting some control of the game and did get into leadership but it did lose control of the game afterwards and let Fenerbahce to get control of the game and score. Altay still shows some worrying signs with its performance which it need to solve very soon.

Fenerbahce did get important win for motivation and confidence and would now focus to get winning streak in the league which is crucial for rest of the season.

Besiktas does provide some worries despite of winning games.

Besiktas continues with getting crucial points and currently is being focussed into getting to 2nd spot as it managed to get win against Fatih Karagumruk with 1:0 scoreline but still provides some worry with its performance.

Even through Besiktas did get its first win at away game since September, it is hard to note that it did provide very good performance for 90 minutes as it did play in low tempo and let Fatih Karagumruk to create some dangerous possessions especially during last 30 minutes. Therefore, when looking statistically Besiktas does provide good performance with Onder Karaveli which means he does some right things but when looking into recent games it does provide some worry with game and does rise question if it continues to get points with such performance. Luckily, for Karaveli he does get points and wins so his place would not be questioned but he does need to figure out how to get starting showing top game for 90 minutes especially towards end of the game starting with Yeni Malatyaspor game.

In fact, team and Karaveli got extra day as Yeni Malatyaspor kickoff has been moved from 22nd January to 23rd January and would give extra day for preparation to such important game for them.
