What happened in Turkish football today? 21/02/2022



Penalties has decided game between Goztepe and Galatasaray.

Galatasaray head coach Gabriel Torrent has been won its first game with his club in the game which been played between both sides which aimed to get further from relegation zone as 4 goals from 5  did come from penalties.

With Galatasaray and Goztepe being just above relegation zone with possible bringing into more dangerous zone it has been expecting for both sides to give their all not to lose and do everything to win game. Therefore, both sides did provide according to that even through Galatasaray did provide much more better start with starting great goal from set piece from Nelsson but after that Goztepe has managed to balance game. After that to some extend penalty kicks and referee did got into role as 4 penalties has been given during rest of the game with all of them being hand balls as Goztepe has went ahead of the game with finding goal on 45+2 and 70 minutes with Ndiaye which been followed with Bafetembi Gomis 2 goals from penalties which also come from hand ball decision. Still, Galatasaray needed to get win as soon as possible regardless in what it would get it due of recent poor performance which it did manage to do so.

Goztepe on their part despite of conceding goal on early minute did get back into game as it couldnt lose this game due of danger of being eliminated and hence has provided strong confident performance and even got ahead. Despite of loss, Goztepe did provide some hope for upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray did get very important win after 14 weeks and would see likely as new beginning and could now focus in more confident manner to get further from relegation zone.  

Trabzonspor are almost certain to get title.

Trabzonspor continues dominating Super League and with getting to league title as this time it managed to get 4:0 confident win against Alanyaspor with finding all goals on 1st half.

With Alanyaspor providing top level game in recent weeks there was big expectation for this game to be difficult one for Trabzonspor with opponents providing some pressure but quite opposite happened. One of the key aspects of the Trabzonspor during game has been for providing strong pressure from moment when Alanyaspor were starting game at defensive area and such pressure has led for openning goal on 5th minute. Without doubt this goal has affected morale and confidence to the Alanyaspor which been reduced even more with every conceded goal to exchange that when score became 4:0 on 39th minute, Alanyaspor lost all concentration and didnt even convert penalty even if Ugurcan Cakir has been top class. Without providing too much effort, Trabzonspor has got another win and could even get title next month as Konyaspor to all respect likely to continue losing points occasionally.

Trabzonspor is in full control and there would be only totally unexpected to happen for them not to get title. 

Arda Guler is potential new star of Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce did get 2 goal from penalties from Serdar Dursun as it got 2:0 win over Hatayspor but it is hard to state that Fenerbahce did provide good game with Hatayspor didnt provide much resistance to the opponent.

Stating that without doubt this game led for Fenerbahce to get new star of the team Arda Guler who would only become 17 years old in few days time, with being most willing and statistically strongest player to the extend that supporters were calling for him to take penalty even if Serdar Dursun is number 1 penalty taker. It would need to state that Arda Guler control of the ball and providing effective attacking game did provide most important role for this win and got new star both for the club and Turkey. In here its most important for him to stay on feet in the ground due of his young age but he has very strong future. Coming to game, Fenerbahce in overall were not very good at rising tempo and even worser performance from Hatayspor has played crucial rule for this outcome without doubt.

Fenerbahce did get new star in its hands but as whole it needs to improve especially for Slavia Prague 2nd leg game if it wants to get to last 16 of Conference League.
