What happened in Turkish football today? 13/11/2022



Besiktas and Antalyaspor game has been postponed due of explosion in Taksim

TFF has announced that Super League game between Besiktas and Antalyaspor has been postponed following explosion in most busiest city of the Istanbul due of uncertainty of situation and also proximity of stadium to the area.

With cause of explosion has not been announced officially until now, there is strong belief that it could been terror attack so for security reason, it could be noted that following decision has been right one as it could provide danger towards players and also supporters and everyone who is being present. Coming to the game, due of World Cup break there is possibility of it to be taking place after World Cup break as both sides did send some of its players to the national team squads. Even through TFF if decides to have during this period it might convince both sides for this break. 

Security and TFF has been made right decision without doubt and has made an important decision for the safety of everyone who would be at stadium and also uncertainty of condition as been mentioned stadium is located close to area where explosion happened.

Galatasaray dominated against Basaksehirspor.

Galatasaray which even through did come slightly favourites against Basaksehirspor during league game, were not expected to get humiliating win with 7:0 scoreline as their opponents provided worst performance during whole season.

It needs to be mentioned that starting from Turkish Cup 3rd round game, Galatasaray has provided rise of performance and has shown confident performance with Mauro Icardi especially starting fulfilling high expectations which were given to him. In fact, he has continued to do so during yesterday's game where he only found only one goal but also provided 2 great assists, especially one towards Kerem Akturkoglu which did come from great study of situation, not being egoistic and possibly raise self-confidence of Akturkoglu. In overall, Akturkoglu has shown best performance during this season and has got well-deserved hat-trick. With Basaksehirspor providing its best performance and high willingness from Galatasaray has led for such outcome.

With Galatasaray greating strong confidence and results, it could be stated that they being least wanted to side to go to World Cup break in such form.

Fenerbahce showed signs of tiredness against Giresunspor

Fenerbahce probably showed its first signs of tiredness from such intense season at the game against Giresunspor, as even through it did provide some good organising game, it did lose lots of tempo which prevented them effective attacks.

With Fenerbahce showing great performance in recent weeks both domestically and in Europe, it was expected for Fenerbahce to get an easy win against Giresunspor at its home ground but signs of tiredness and also 2 yellow cards in first half of Pedro had played serious issues. With Fenerbahce not being able to provide same reaction as it did against Sivasspor, Giresunspor has provided good and organised performance as it got points from big 4 once again as it tends possibly to provide much more concentration to those games. Meanwhile, Serdar Aziz has been on his bad day especially during 2nd conceded goal as keeping ball too much with being last player on goal has cost him a lot  as Saiss has scored goal which brought win to Giresunspor.

Fenerbahce is going to enter World Cup break with unwanted result but it has surely deserved this break as it would be aiming to resume season in December in much more stronger manner.
