What happened in Turkish football today? 28/10/2022



Galatasaray used effectively extra-men during game against Fatih Karagumruk

Galatasaray has managed to win Super League 12th week game against Fatih Karagumruk with 2:0 scoreline thanks to 2 goals which did come during 2nd half as opponent has played with 10 men for most amount of time. 

It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray didnt start game at very high tempo and aggressive performance which has been expected from them due of active week which it had due of outside of the field actions. In fact, during 1st half Fatih Karagumruk did look to be more willing side with creating some opportunities but Galatasaray focussed defence has let game to stay 0:0 until halftime. The game has been changed entirely during 2nd half as Galatasaray has shown more forward seeking performance as it had also one extra men due of red card which happened at the middle of 1st half. It has been also an important for Omer Tasdemir to find his 1st goal as he did come out for first time at starting 11 with being at the right place in right moment while 2nd goal did also come from Juan Mata who also scored his 1st goal. Therefore, Galatasaray did create high number of opportunities and did play to get win but it could been showing much better performance during 1st half.

Fatih Karagumruk meanwhile it needs to be mentioned that it did show some good performance especially with playing 11-on-11 and has shown some strong willingness but with getting one less man has affected to team performance. Meanwhile, Emiliano Viviano 10 saves has helped side only to concede 2 goals.

Galatasaray did get an important win with such game and would be coming out to Besiktas derby game next week at much better mood and concentration compare to prior to this game.

Trabzonspor didnt use its opportunity to get into knockout stages.

Trabzonspor did put its chances for knockout stages of Europa League into difficulty with loss to Crvena Zvezda with 2:1 scoreline and could even lose an opportunity to enter to Conference League with last week games. 

Trabzonspor did come out with high confidence at winning game and didnt necessarily provide poor performance against Serbian side but still it did lack of showing some attacking game during 1st half especially prior to conceding goal. It needs to be mentioned that both side did provide some good game with looking for opportunities which did come from first Crvena Zvezda with great goal and even through Bakasetas did get equaliser, Trabzonspor surprsingly did reduce tempo during 2nd half of the game rather then showing much more aggressive attacking game as opponent did use its opportunity effectively. Trabzonspor would now come out to game against Ferencvaros, which did secure top spot with only aim to win game but would also wait for good result from Monaco-Crvena Zvezda game.

Trabzonspor has failed to get upper hand and use its chances more effectively to opponent and hence put its chances for next round into difficulty.

Fenerbahce has kept top spot at group with incredible comeback.

Fenerbahce has shown incredible and strong comeback against Rennes during Europa League 5th week game which would decide top spot even through it did have very poor start of the game for 30 minutes.

Fenerbahce as been noted did have pretty poor start of the game especially at defence which led Rennes to get great chances with converting 3 of the goals within 30 minutes and it did look like the game has been lost for the side and hence top spot. But Fenerbahce with scoring goal in end of 1st half but especially during end of the 2nd half has shown incredible fighting comeback performance with Jorge Jesus once again doing great substitutes to the team of 4 players, with 2 of them scoring goals. With this result Fenerbahce has kept its top spot in the group and does +1 goal difference compare to Rennes, and hence it would need to not only win Dynamo Kyiv in last week game, which would be seeking to end group at high note, but also score lots of goals as Rennes likely will be aiming to do at AEK Larnaca game.

Fenerbahce has shown great comeback and taking account that 3:1 scoreline at 80th minute this would be seen as win, but it needs to keep top spot after Dynamo Kyiv to make this comeback meaningful.
