What happened in Turkish football today? 03/04/2022



Both Trabzonspor and Besiktas did play for win as game ended with 1:1 draw.

Turkish Super League 31st game between Trabzonspor and Besiktas has ended with 1:1 scoreline as both sides has provided strong fighting spirit as point difference with 2nd spot has been reduced to 13 points with 7 games left until end of the season.

Even through scoreline might provide an image that Trabzonspor is showing some relaxation with having strong leadership at the top of the table and losing previous week to Rizespor, it needs to be mentioned that during this game Trabzonspor did show some strong fighting performance to get win against Besiktas and get one step closer to the title but it did get opponent which also been extra motivated to have good start with its new coach Valentin Ismael. Hence, there could be some relaxation from Trabzonspor due of condition, but it didnt affect much. Only issue which could be noted from Trabzonspor perspective that it didnt have very good start of the game letting Besiktas to create some positions in the beginning of the game but Trabzonspor did get between the game. Hence, this result should not seen that Trabzonspor is showing too much relaxation of getting title as soon as it can.

Besiktas without doubt did come out to win game and hence start new chapter at its club with Valentin Ismael with getting win which could be understood with high tempo of the game with looking into opportunities and possibly planning to get an early goal to get control of the game. Therefore, Ismael has also shown signs what kind of game he would be accepting from his side with providing pressure as early as it can and it did manage to do that due of high number of opportunities. Hence, Besiktas did look to be showing some good positive game with looking into high opportunities during game and if it continues like this it could possibly fight for top 4 spot in the end of the season. It could be also stated that players looked to be comfortable in such style of game.

Trabzonspor did provide some fast tempo game with looking for win but its been played against opponent which also did come for win which led for exciting game as leaders only lost possibility to get closer to announce its title on early time.

Fenerbahce continues showing confident strong performance.

Fenerbahce got an important win against Kayserispor at the game where it has dominated for 90 minutes and continues its race for getting runners-up spot in confident manner with 4:0 scoreline win.

Fenerbahce continues showing strong improvement in recent weeks in the Super League and without doubt its focus and possibility for getting 2nd spot which means Champions League qualifying is being high motivational boost for the side. Even through Kayserispor didnt provide its strong game as side being on decline during recent weeks, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce also didnt let into game both with early goals and dominant high tempo game. Ismail Kartal continues improving side and does rise question how things would been if he was coach in the start of the season. This win and way its been gotten without doubt would also provide crucial motivation before Galatasaray derby game next week.

Fenerbahce is being on right track without doubt and would be expected to continue showing strong confident performance in upcoming weeks.

Galatasaray regained confidence prior to Fenerbahce derby.

Galatasaray got confident win against Fatih Karagumruk thanks to the 2 early goals with 1 one of them coming from questionable penalty decision on 4th minute and got motivational boost before Fenerbahce derby game.

It needs to be mentioned also that Fatih Karagumruk did provide one of its worst performance during whole season, possibly due of conceding on 12th minute and hence let them to lose concentration of the game. Galatasaray on their part did provide high tempo performance during first 30 minutes, especially prior Kerem Akturkoglu has become injured and hence been substituted and after reduced to reduce tempo possibly due of scoreline and Fatih Karagumruk not providing much pressure. This result was important for Torrent meanwhile to show everyone that he is not much affected for issues happening at administrative part of the club.

Galatasaray did get important win but this performance is still not enough to get result against in-form Fenerbahce next week.
