Galatasaray enters to 2023 as league leaders after beating Sivasspor

Galatasaray would be entering to 2023 as league leaders with a win against Sivasspor what has tend to be pretty tough game due of condition of the field but in same high tension game partly due of referee performance.

Foremost, it needs to be mentioned about disallowed goal from Sivasspor when scoreline has been 1:0 as this position looked to be clean in all perspectives but somehow with looking at the position for around 5 minutes in all different angles it has been disallowed where there wasnt any hints of offside or foul, a position which noone has understood both on social media and even broadcaster. Coming to the game, it has been tough game mainly due of field condition as it wasnt at unhealthy state which provided some difficulties moment to both players at the field as they couldnt get into tempo. In fact, all of the three goals did come with players using opportunities. Meanwhile, Baris Alper Yilmaz who did come towards end of the 2nd half has scored his most important in his career as it brought leadership to the team at such tough game. Stating that, Galatasaray despite of win didnt provide good performance in 2nd half, as it did against Istanbulspor, and this seems to be main area to be solved from head coach Okan Buruk.

Sivasspor didnt start game with any strong tactical game on 1st half and has led Galatasaray to control game but did come to themselves in 2nd half with starting creating moment. Meanwhile, disallowed goal which it has scored did in fact provide disorientation as it failed to get fully concentrated into game for around 10 minutes after that incident. It did find a goal during 2nd half but couldnt provide strong enough defence towards end.

Galatasaray has ended 2022 as league leaders at very tough game both due of condition of the field and not very good performance of coach who did mistake to both sides and has raised confidence as it enters to new year. 

Besiktas got well-fought win against Adana Demirspor.

Besiktas has completed 2022 with a win against in-form side Adana Demirspor with minumum scoreline of 1:0, and has kept its chance to fight for top position in the league arrive as point different with leaders Galatasaray is being 7 points.

Most present development for Besiktas has been that it has won against opponent which didnt lose for long period of time with providing strong and organising performance both at defence and attack.It is also important to note that winning goal did come from great shot from Masuaku from free-kick as it has been his 1st goal from free-kick and to score in such manner would provide confidence to him in upcoming weeks. Only negative aspect in side of Besiktas has been for letting Adana Demirspor to create lots of dangerous opportunities with one hitting to post, but this did come due of open and positive game from both sides which led them to get into counter-attacks. Hence, an issue of not providing top level game has been existent in this game but it has managed to do that in much better form compare to previous weeks and didnt lose tempo during 2nd week too drastic.

Adana Demirspor didnt provide dominant and attacking game which been used from them during 1st half, and has been much closer to its level of performance during 2nd half but poor start of the game did cost them a goal even through it did come from free-kick. Still, Adana Demirspor performance during 2nd half makes clear that when it does aim to show good game, it manages to do that and would continue to be an issue for opponents.

Besiktas hence did end 2022 with a win and most importantly keeps their chances arrive for title race as it keeps 7 point difference from leaders Galatasaray.

Trabzonspor has ended 2022 with its worst performance of the year.

Trabzonspor has shown pretty ineffective performance against Fatih Karagumruk in its last game of calendar of 2022 as it lacked any willingness at attack and tempo which would been expected from them.

Following win against Fenerbahce with providing strong tactical game, Trabzonspor has shown quite opposite as it provided very likely its worst performance during whole 2022 and continues to provide signs of worrisome for rest of the season. It needs to be mentioned that red card of Marc Bartra did affect whole game but it is hard to state that Trabzonspor did provide upper hand performance compare to Fatih Karagumruk. Meanwhile, it needs to be praised into how much Fatih Karagumruk has prepared the game with providing strong tactical performance as it looked side which didnt only came out for win but were aware how to stop Trabzonspor. This game would surely provide lots of notes which would need to be worked by from Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor win against Fenerbahce has provided lots of optimism for future, but this game has made clear that Trabzonspor are having issues with showing top level game compare to previous one.
