What happened in Turkish football today? 27/02/2022



Galatasaray gets back-to-back wins but still didnt expected top game.

Galatasaray has got very important but in same time difficult win against Rizespor at home ground in the week which been characterised with high number of goals as Istanbul giant has won with 4:2 scoreline.

Galatasaray did finally get an important win against Rizespor in the sense that it needed to get back-to-back wins and hence get further from relegation zone but it needs to be noted that it didnt start game very well and for most amount of the time it did have trouble to get into the game as it has conceded on 8th minute Gedson Fernandes. One of the most important factors which has been observed is that Galatasaray start showing fighting spirit much more compare to previous games with Torrent but still it needs to improve a lot especially as it would be meeting with Barcelona at Europa League. It needs to be mentioned also that Domenec Torrent tends to come out with wrong players as starting 11 but tends to do right substitutes as crucial goals did come from Ryan Babel and Bafetembi Gomis, while defender Van Aanholdt did become player of the game as he did score in important goals at right time.

Rizespor it needs to be mentioned did provide high and positive football once again with looking into opportunities for 90 minutes but couldnt respond from strong pressure which been given from Galatasaray towards end of the game.

Galatasaray did get crucial win and unless something totally unexpected during last 11 weeks, it would be highly expected for side not to be having danger of being relegated.

Besiktas gets crucial win but didnt show dominant game again.

Besiktas did get an important 3:2 win against difficult opponent Sivasspor but it is hard to state that both sides did show strong confident attacking game despite of the scoreline.

Even through Besiktas did get win which without doubt is being important for they fight for top 4 spot and Conference League and this outcome would provide needed motivational boost, still it doesnt get enough dominance of the game which would been expected from them. In addition to this Besiktas still had lost of tempo towards end of the game which did lead for Sivasspor to find penalty goal. Shortly, it could be stated that Besiktas did get this win with being slighly showing better game of side which had pretty poor night. Among that, both sides did struglle during game due of poor field of the Sivasspor despite of field having heating up system.

Besiktas did get important win and for sure got motivation prior to Turkish Cup game but still needs to improve its performance.

Fenerbahce will have tough game as it focuses to get 3-wins back-to-back.

Fenerbahce would be now focussed to Super League 27th week game against Kasimpasa as this being only tournament which is left for them and last aim without doubt is to get Conference League spot but it is being sadly unlikely for them.

Even through Fenerbahce did come out to Slavia Prague games with high focus to get through to the next stage as this being only big aim for them as been noted before hand poor performance in the Super League has also affected to the Conference League. Stating that Fenerbahce did win previous 2 games in the league and would be without doubt aim to rise this streak to 3 games and keep inside its aim for top 4 spot. Stating that however Fenerbahce still didnt show very strong performance in previous 2 games which could be not enough for Kasimpasa which tends to show good performance both against big clubs and also in general. Kasimpasa would be coming out with belief it can win game and would act according to that very likely.

Win against Kasimpasa would provide important motivation for them without doubt but it would be tough one for them.
