What happened in Turkish football today? 13/02/2022



Trabzonspor makes important step for title.

Trabzonspor did manage to win likely its most important game of the season with 2:1 scoreline and has raised point difference with Konyaspor to 12 points with game in hand and could not see its eye for title in more confident manner. 

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor has started game in very strong manner with getting full control of the game and providing pressure to Konyaspor players right at the defence with looking agressive to opportunities which led them to find an early goal from Edin Visca and after scoring that goal it continued providing more pressure as Konyaspor either to of shock or pressure which came from game didnt provide much response which continued even during 2nd half. With finding 2nd goal Trabzonspor did look that it was job done but after conceding goal from susbtituted Sokol Cikalleshi it got under pressure where both sides did provide panicked football but Trabzonspor did manage to keep its leadership until final whistle of the game and came much more closer to the title with such strong advantage.Without doubt player of the game is being Edin Visca who with his 2 goals been main role for win but also Nwakaeme provided confident game into attack.

Konyaspor has given all after 83rd minute goal from Sokol Cikalleshi which by itself did show that club does provide that side was aiming to stay at least in the title race for now but it does raise question why side did fail to provide similar game prior to Cikalleshi as it conceded 2 goals.

Trabzonspor has won very important game against Konyaspor and hence raised point difference to 12 points with extra game from its main title contenders and could not more confidently look for title.

 

Galatasaray needs to find ways how to win games.

Galatasaray continues showing poor results and being close to relegation zone with drawing this time against Kayserispor, as newly-appointed coach Domenec Torrent didnt win yet game after playing 6.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray did provide better performance compare to opponents especially during 2nd half with creating high number of opportunities but it is being simple not enough for them as it continues showing not very creating and dominant game despite of playing with Mustafa Muhammed and Bafetembi Gomis which were seen as two players who could lift side from bottom half of the table. There has been some improvement as been noted but still Torrent does fail to provide much needed game which would been expected from side as he struggles to find way how to win games. Without doubt side needs to find solution in short notice if it doesnt want to experience difficult and stressful weeks in short period.

Galatasaray continues hence to be close at relegation spots and needs to find solution both mentally and performance wise.

Fenerbahce showed raise of organisation against Giresunspor.

Fenerbahce did provide some improvements especially during 2nd half during 2:1 win against Giresunspor and showed strong comeback after conceding on 2nd minute.

It still hard to state that Fenerbahce are showing top level game during 90 minutes when coming to number of opportunities and conversetions, but looking into performance of most players and comparing to general performance of the season it could be noted indivudually and teamwise it did show its best performance with tempo of the game, looking for opportunities and general willingness with getting close to level of game which is seeked from Ismail Kartal. Only player which didnt fulfill this satisfaction has been Mergim Berisha who continues to be missing opportunities. Most important this win, which been caught in such manner would provide needed motivation for Slavia Prague game at Conference League.

Fenerbahce did show some positive performance but time would show if it would continue such game in upcoming weeks.
