What happened in Turkish football today? 15/04/2023



Fenerbahce showed strong persistance against Ankaragucu and kept its title chances arrive.

Fenerbahce has sent an important message to league leaders Galatasaray as it has managed to get an important win with 2:1 scoreline even through it was losing game with 0:1 scoreline on 86th minute but penalty goal from Enner Valencia and also persistance has kept such crucial win.

It needs to be stated in all fairness that Fenerbahce didnt provide very good performance for 87th minute as it has controlled 1st half but didnt provide too much pressure towards Ankaragucu goal while during 2nd half it has been side which did show more attacking game with finding numerous dangerous chances prior Ali Sowe goal on 87th minute. Positive factor from Fenerbahce side is to provide such strong persistance towards end of the game as the game was almost to be going more due of performance rather than scoreline to the point that supporters after Sowe goal on 81st minute has been also lost hope for this game and possibly title. Penalty kick which Fenerbahce get which to some extend did come due of unneeded push on penalty zone from Ankaragucu has provided also waking up moment for Fenerbahce. It has also been important for Crespo to score winning goal as he did get important goals in the past. 

It needs to be mentioned that Ankaragucu did provide good performance especially during 2nd half before 1:1 scoreline and from their perspective it would be dramatic loss of 3 points as it was close to get an important win at the relegation zone. Still, performance from today could possibly turn into positive for upcoming games.

Fenerbahce hence got very important win and even through this scenario has been very nervous and stressful, in long turn this would provide needed motivation and belief as it aims to catch up Galatasaray at top spot.

Galatasaray has got confident win against Kayserispor as it gets closer for title.

Galatasaray has got a confident win against Kayserispor with 6:0 scoreline as it has dominated game for 90 minutes and not reducing tempo of the game as Mauro Icardi has managed to get hat-trick during 1st half, with one goal coming from penalty.

It needs to be stated that game has been started more or less on equal levels but 1st goal from Mauro Icardi on 18th minute has left for Galatasaray to get full control of the game while each conceded goal from Kayserispor has let them to lose concentration and control of the game. Without doubt, red card of Majid Hosseini has made things even more difficult in end of the 1st half but to expect comeback from them on end of the game would been possibly be too optimistic. With such win it needless to state that Galatasaray did send an important message to Fenerbahce and other follow-ups as it shown that it did sort out poerformance which not been good since devastating earthquake break and has set an eye for title once again in confident manner.

Galatasaray hence continues its title race in advantage aspects and did show signs that it doesnt thing to reduce tempo of the game.

Trabzonspor would see Besiktas game as prestige, while Besiktas aims to stay at title race.

When looking into performance of both Besiktas and Trabzonspor, it could be confidently stated that Besiktas does come out as favourites for game but even through both teams are from different cities, this game is being seen as derby game due of long-time rivarly.

As it is known when it comes to derby games, sides tend to provide different motivation and concentration towards game and hence we could be seeing different performance from Trabzonspor. Factor that Trabzonspor are not having any aims left would be see this game as prestige one which might lead them to provide much free without risk but attacking game. Besiktas meanwhile would be coming out to game which it needs to win and even through draw would have negative impact, loss would mean literally throwing them out of title race. In other hand, Besiktas is coming out with great form without losing 5 games which includes Fenerbahce historical comeback which could lead them to provide strong performance and players being in good mood and in this side Besiktas are being strong favourites.

In overall, Besiktas are favourites but Trabzonspor due of importance of the game in sense of rivarly could get surprising win at home ground.
