Trabzonspor has managed to get win against Basel in such emotional game.

Trabzonspor has got win against Basel at very emotional game at the Conference League 2nd round game as it has shown unity between with supporters and players with showing togetherness at such difficult time following devastating earthquake.

Coming to the game, there were some worries that Trabzonspor might have difficulties to provide good game due of lack of concentration and mood which been affected by devastating earthquake, but it needs to be stated that team did show some strong attacking and have created chances which could eb due also of emotional feelings which been created by supporters. Without doubt, this has led for a goal from Strygen Larsen as he was in right position at right time following Trezeguet ball has been bounced back and he has managed to be at right place at right time. Therefore, it needs to be stted that Trabzonspor has been much more willing to create. Such strong and attacking game could be also described due of emotionality as Turkish sides tended to provided much more willingness and fighting spirit as game has been in very emotional conditions as every single supporter has been at the stadium and has shown strong togetherness at the stadium which been positive impact to players.

Basel without doubt prior to game has been also affected from atmosphere due of devastating earthquake and did aim to provide right impact of the game with also trying to show positive game but it couldnt provide right resistance to Trabzonspor effective performance.

Meanwhile, it needs to be mentioned that this game has been played at very difficult conditions morally but players of both teams has managed into field and showed that football could be more than game.

Hopes for Christian Atsu is still being arrive from his family.

Hopes regarding of Hatayspor player Christian Atsu who is still not found following earthquake in Turkey is still being arrive from his family and agent Nana Sachare as he calls for search and rescue works to continue at the rubbles.

Sachare has stated that everyone who is currently worried about him are calling for search and rescue to carry on as all of them are wanting for closure in such issue as there would be also hope until he would be found with taking account that we are still hearing miracle storylines. Stating that there are hopes getting reduced in the area as search and rescue are getting stopped in many areas as cleaning of construction works would be next stage at the works.

As been noted, we are still hearing some miracle storylines even through its getting less and less and hence hope for Atsu to found arrive is still existent but unfortunately is getting less.
