What happened in Turkish football today? 18/09/2022



Fenerbahce showed attacking dominance for 90 minutes against Alanyaspor

Fenerbahce continues showing an impressive attacking both in Turkey and in Europe as it got confident win against Alanyaspor with 5:0 scoreline as it has dominated game from 1st whistle of the game until final.

As it is known, especially in Turkish football there is seems to be decline with performance and tempo at the league following European games, but this wasnt case with Fenerbahce as it looked like Istanbul giant didnt have difficult away game against Rennes only 3 days ago. This without doubt has been due of works of Jorge Jesus, players responding to this demands and also rotation which doesnt do harm do playing level. Fenerbahce has started game with fast goal scored by Rossi which without doubt provided even more confidence to the side as it keep looking into chances. Another important factor without doubt has been for goals to be coming from different players which does show into goal scoring abilities of forward and midfielders. Another factor, which to some extend has been first time during this season, Fenerbahce has continued looking for goals and dominating game regardless what was scoreline, rarity in Turkish football too. 

It needs to be stated that so far Alanyaspor performance has not been in level which have seeked for so they did come as underdogs but playing against top club there were expectation it would aim to show some reaction at game but it did look pretty passive for most time.

Fenerbahce has dominated game for 90 minutes and in addition to this has been seeking for goals all the time and hence has got well-deserved result in the end of the day.

Trabzonspor has won game even if it was losing 2:0 at 10th minute.

Trabzonspor has managed to get win against very tough and high tempo game against Gaziantep with 3:2 scoreline thanks to the Marc Bartra even through they did go behind with 2:0 scoreline within 10 minutes.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor had surprising poor start of the game, as Gaziantep has taken whole game into control with finding 2 fast goals from Maxim and Markovic and has shown that it did come out for a win, but Trabzonspor did respond pretty quick on 14th minute which led for them to get also within game during whole performance. Trabzonspor has managed to reduce that agressive game of Gaziantep and to some extend has kept 1st half during, with penalty position in the end of the 1st half which Bakasetas has converted has provided upper hand and hope during 2nd half. Even through it is hard to state that Trabzonspor did dominate during 2nd half, it still looked to be closer into goal as game was coming to the end it has shown more dominant game and showed that it was fighting for winning this game which did come from Marc Barta and has got win at game which it started ineffectively.

Gaziantep meanwhile without doubt had perfect start, with going ahead in first 10 minutes and did show some control of the game but after 2:1 start showing more careful game and even if did show attacking game, it did lose control of hte game which led them to lose game.

Trabzonspor as been mentioned did have poor start of the game but has turend around and did very important win prior to national team break.

Besiktas are having serious decline with tactical side of game

Besiktas continues with showing its decline of performance and tactically as it got surprising draw against Istanbulspor with 2:2 scoreline despite of winning game twice and shows some signs of criticism towards coach Valerien Ismael.

Foremost, it needs to be mentioend that due of red card from previous decision, Valerien Ismael wasnt in his position so he couldnt affect directly to the game but it needs to be mentioned that tactically Besiktas did have some issues so he does play some role with such role. Besiktas performance it needs to be mentioned has become much more passive and low tempo and most surprising when going ahead twice during game, it has shown relaxation which led for Istanbulspor to find 2 goals. Stating that, Istanbulspor to come back against title contenders especially while having poor season deserves praise and this performance could be turning point for them for upcoming weeks with confidence it got.

Besiktas would now enter to national team break where it would be getting opportunity to study and revise its recent weeks performance and possibly go with some tactical changes.
