What happened in Turkish football today? 16/09/2022



Galatasaray has ended unconceded run of Konyaspor.

Galatasaray has won against Konyaspor during Super League 2nd week game with 2:1 scoreline as Konyaspor has conceded first 2 goals in this season but still has shown strong and confident performance.

It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray has started game at very high tempo which led for Sergio Oliviera to find his 1st goal for his team and hence ending his unlucky period of getting crosses. It was expected that by finding such an early goal, Galatasaray would be dominating game for whole game and it did have an upper hand for few minutes but Konyaspor pretty soon got game into control of the game and has found a goal at 15th minute. After that game has been played at upper hand, and even through Galatasaray chances has been pretty dangerous ones but Konyaspor did also get lots of chances which does show that side does need to improve with defensive game. Meanwhile, Mauro Icardi did come out as substitute during 2nd half and has played an important role with 2nd goal as with his pressure has led for Konyaspor to score an openning goal. Hence, Icardi has shown some positive performance during 1st game with coming to field and provides signs for future.

Konyaspor meanwhile did provide pretty strong performance and even through did concede its first 2 goals of season, did provide lots of pressure and has shown that its not on 1st spot in the league prior to start of the week with showing top level game and shows some important signs for future.

Galatasaray does need to improve with some game play but it is being on right track and would be expected to be even better after national team break. 

Fenerbahce got impressive draw against Rennes.

Fenerbahce has got an important draw aganst Rennes with providing memorable comeback after 2:0 at 54th minute and could even win game as momentum was on their side at the end of the game.

It needs to be mentioned that game has been played at very high tempo as both sides did aim to get win from start of the game and hence provided lots of pressure to each other goals. Only issue at the Fenerbahce side could be due of some mistakes at defensive game letting Rennes to get some chances and also 2 goals which been conceded in such manner. However, Fenerbahce without doubt has shown strong fighting spirit and reaction after 2:0 with providing forward-seeking performance which is being big bonus to the side in upcoming games. Of course, goal which been scored by Irfan Can Kahveci deserves lots of attention to. 

Meanwhile, it does look like Fenerbahce would need to be seeking for confident wins against AEK Larnaca as possibility for home game against Rennes to also end at draw is pretty high.

Trabzonspor has got crucial win against Crvena Zvezda

Trabzonspor has got its first win at the Europa League against struggling Crvena Zvezda with 2:1 scoreline and had put itself at the race in its group and also gained much needed motivation and confidence. 

Without doubt, with Siopis and more importantly Marek Hamsik returning to the after injuries has provided high motivation and also quality in the field as it was able to go much more organised and dangerous to Crvena Zvezda goal which did led to an early goal from Hamsik himself. It needs to be mentioned that side did control game during 1st half and did find 2nd goal but interestingly showed some relaxation which led them to concede goal and have some worried last minutes of the game, so it should be giving attantion for not conceding so easily especially when its on control. Still, this is being good win and would bring back confidence to team for upcoming games.

Trabzonspor would now meet with Monaco in tournament which would be crucial game for them without doubt.
