What happened in Turkish football today? 20/02/2022



Trabzonspor got much easier win then expected against Alanyaspor.

Trabzonspor gets confident win against Alanyaspor with ending job within 39 minutes as it won game with 4:0 scoreline at the game where Trabzonspor showed very good game during 1st half while Alanyaspor has been unexpectedly poor for whole game.

In similar manner as it did during last week, Trabzonspor has provided agressive attacking game as side which right now fully focussed to get title in this season did find an early goal with Anthony Nwakaeme at 5th minute. It needs to be mentioned that this goal has provided much more confidence towards Trabzonspor and without doubt did have total opposite effect to Alanyaspor. With finding 2nd goal again with Nwakaeme and after goals with Cornelius and Tokoz did let for them to end 1st half with strong result of 4:0 and provided low tempo performance during 2nd half with providing low pace game while Alanyaspor mentally also giving up game and couldnt even use its opportunity of penalty it get at least 1 goal. With this result and also Konyaspor losing once again during this week has put Trabzonspor to make important step for title with 14 points difference despite of having extra game.

As been noted, things didnt go at all as been wanted from Alanyaspor as early goal did affect negatively for them as it did concede on 5th minute and continuing conceding during 2nd half led side not to get both into game and scoreline.

Trabzonspor without doubt did get crucial win against tough opponent in very calm manner and could now focus into getting title as early as possible without doubt.

Fenerbahce got back-to-back win thanks to penalty goals from Dursun.

Fenerbahce gets win against Hatayspor due of two penalty goals from Serdar Dursun at the game which been played at mediocre tempo with both sides in overall not providing strong pressure but for Fenerbahce its been crucial win as it got back-to-back wins.

Taking result of the game on the side, Fenerbahce didnt provide very strong performance with looking to be one which did contol game and when comparing both side has been better one but it didnt provide enough pressure. Stating that it needs to be remembered that Fenerbahce does get some unwanted result during previous game including with 3:2 loss to Slavia Prague at home ground so to some extend Fenerbahce needed to win this game regardless how it performs which to some extend describes why their provided such strong focus into defensive aspect of the game. Meanwhile, it needs to be praised strong performance of 16-year old teenage Arda Guler who once again did provide confident performance and in some moments even being best player on the field prior to be substituted on the 2nd half. Fenerbahce did deserved win to some extend as it been better side but it does need to show stronger attacking game as it wouldnt be lucky for them as their got win through rightly decided penalty kicks.

Hatayspor did look to be pretty passive and did fail to get into the game during whole game and it does look like Omer Erdogan would need to go through such pretty ineffective performance.

Fenerbahce didnt provide strong performance but did get important win thanks to penalty goals with Serdar Dursun and got important motivational boost for 2nd leg game against Slavia Prague on 24th February.

Besiktas gets win with poor performance.

Besiktas did manage to get win against struggling Altay thanks to the header from Domagoj Vida as club has ended its back-to-back draws but still it didnt provide very good and confident performance.

As been noted, on the post prior to game Besiktas advantage to get win against Altay has been of having stronger and more quality squad compare to opponents and without doubt this has played an important role with Besiktas win as both sides did provide pretty poor performance. In fact, it would be confident to state that Besiktas would got different outcome if it played with much more quality side. Even more worrying aspect has been for Besiktas showing once again decline of tempo and performance towards last minute of the game which in previous games been issue. Without doubt, Besiktas did need to get win in whatever cost due of recent results but it would need to be preparing for next week Sivasspor more seriously as opponent is being more organised and shows positive game.

Besiktas continues showing poor performnace but this win could provide some confident for upcoming games as it fights for top 4 spot.
