What happened in Turkish football today? 20/08/2022



Trabzonspor has got unexpected 5:2 loss against agressive Antalyaspor

Title holders Trabzonspor has lost its 1st game during this season against Antalyaspor in shocking 5:2 scoreline as Antalyaspor continues to become most difficult opponent in previous season as champions didnt manage to beat them.

With this game playing in between Champions League play-off round tie against Copenhagen, it has been interesting how Trabzonspor would be performing and it needs to be mentioned that it looks like it did as Trabzonspor has been pretty far from providing an attacking and pressure game towards Antalyaspor. Stating that it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor did provide some high tempo and attacking game in duration of 2nd half until 74th minute, as Trabzonspor did manage to equalise result thanks to the Bardhi top level performance. However, it needs to be mentioned that Antalyaspor player Bayraktar has found an important goal which made scoreline with 3:2 scoreline and after that Trabzonspor did lose concentration and confidence which went into hand of opponent. Trabzonspor lack of concentration to very difficult opponent has hence cost them result and let for loss of morale.

Antalyaspor meanwhile did provide very strong performance against Trabzonspor with rising tempo and apart of some parts during 2nd half has been side which did control game. With providing an aggressive attacking game it did well-deserved win without doubt.

Copenhagen tie Trabzonspor would certainly this fixture concentration without doubt but noone certainly did expect such result from Trabzonspor and now it needs to regain confidence and concentration for 2nd leg game against Copenhagen for sure. 

Galatasaray wins against Umraniyespor thanks to the Bafetembi Gomis.

Galatasaray has got an important win against Umraniyespor with 1:0 scoreline thanks to the super sub Bafetembi Gomis who did scoring winning goal on 86th minute, after 8 minutes of entering to the field at the game where team has shown poor performance.

It needs to be mentioned that, Galatasaray has provided pretty ineffective and slow game against Umraniyespor especially during 1st half as it struggled to get into positions and when it did it didnt provide strong last touches. Another downside of Galatasaray has been of high number of mistakes. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did raise tempo when Mertens has entered to the field on start of 2nd half but still lacked its final touches. It needs to be mentioned that Umraniyespor also didnt provide very effective game and has provided lots of mistakes but still it did resist against Galatasaray until 86th minute. Despite of winning game it needs to be stated that side didnt provide strong performance.

Bafetembi Gomis did get win with his goal but when looking in overall Galatasaray did look to be pretty slow as it did in previous games and it needs to improve in upcoming weeks for sure.

Besiktas will aim to bounce back from last week lost of 2 points.

Besiktas would be coming to the Super League 3rd week against Fatih Karagumruk as it would be aiming to get better result against Alanyaspor in recent weeks and send important message.

Due of some referee decisions and also tactical mistakes Besiktas has lost 2 points in previous week and now it would be important for side to show strong bouncing back both on the field and also answer to everyone else who is following Turkish Super League. But it needs to be mentioned that it would be tough game for Besiktas as Fatih Karagumruk does aim to provide some positive and strong performance so it needs to be fully focussed and provide top level game. Besiktas are being favourites but Fatih Karagumruk will provide some pressure towards Besiktas in duration of 90 minutes. 

Hence, Besiktas will be aiming to get good result against Fatih Karagumruk but it needs to provide strong confident game for 90 minutes.
