What happened in Turkish football today? 23/01/2023



Fenerbahce got an important win despite of poor performance.

Fenerbahce has continued its race for leadership at the league as it has won against Umraniyespor but when coming into the performance, Fenerbahce didnt show very good game and could consider themselves lucky with such win.

Fenerbahce during whole game but especially 2nd half didnt provide very good performance with lacking tempo of the game and didnt provide much pressure to Umraniyespor with lacking creating strong and positive pressure to the Umraniyespor as for most amount of time opponent has managed to prevent Fenerbahce to create them. In all fairness, opponent has shown good resistance but an issue here why Fenerbahce is failing to break such closed defence which it tend to find solutions to in 1st half of the season. Still, its been important during this game is to stay focussed until end of the game as two goals did come in last 15 minutes of the game. Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir continues at going too much ahead in this game as he does in all games and has been main issue for conceding goal.

Umraniyespor it needs to be mentioned did provide good preparation for the game as it prevented Fenerbahce to get too much control and has kept showing reaction after each conceded goal and did find 2nd equaliser, but goal been rightfully disallowed due of previous foul. This game could provide some confidence for upcoming game.

Fenerbahce did provide poor performance against Umraniyespor and only positive aspect that it has won game with such game and has kept 4 points difference with leaders Galatasaray.

Besiktas has got win against Kayserispor but needs to improve.

Besiktas is continuing its winning run as it has won Kayserispor with 2:0 scoreline even through it didnt provide very good performance for 90 minutes but an early goal did make things easier for them.

Without doubt, an early goal from Nathan Redmond with his great shot on 2nd minute did make task for Besiktas much more easier as it got an advantage scoreline which has been build up from goal from Salih Ucan at the end of the half. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas has shown once again as been seen during season a drop of performance level at the 2nd half as control of the game did go to Kayserispor but side did have fail to provide needed shot quality and passes in the attack and sadly did look like that if game has been for more time with them dominating game they would still fail to score. Besiktas hence didnt show very good game for 90 minutes but still got very important win.

Besiktas still needs to improve but one thing is certain that this 4-game winning run would provide confidence and morale rise for upcoming games.

Trabzonspor got easy win against passive Istanbulspor

Trabzonspor has got an easy win against Istanbulspor without providing too much effort for 90 minutes as Istanbulspor has failed to get into game and has shown pretty passive game even during 1st half.

Trabzonspor didnt need to give too much effort to get win against Istanbulspor as it more or less needed just 5 minutes in the start of the 1st half to get confident win and has shown passive game on 1st half. Istanbulspor which did show some promising signs in recent games, didnt give much effort and there were even moments at 2nd half at defensive game where it wasnt focussed too much even through they are arguments it has been due of losing game. Still, Istanbulspor didnt give any signs it did come out for win. Trabzonspor on they part did get result but despite of clear scoreline like 4:0, it still didnt provide confident and strong performance which would been expected.

This win does give some postiive signs but still is not good reference for upcoming games as it continues to show unstable performance in this season especially at away games.
