What happened in Turkish football today? 09/04/2023



Besiktas got confident win despite of poor start of game against Giresunspor

Besiktas has continued its winning run at the Super League as it has won against Giresunspor with 3:1 scoreline and hence has won 5 game back-to-back even through it didnt have very good performance.

It needs to be mentioned that it took some time for Besiktas to get into the game as Giresunspor has shown good performance of the start while Besiktas did look to be pretty passive and with such ineffective start it did concede a goal from Bajc on 20th minute. This conceded goal has been a waking up call for Besiktas as it started rising tempo and after converting penalty goal on 39th minute from Aboubakar, it has taken full control. Therefore, Besiktas did got full control of the game and has found 2 more goals on rest of the moment and didnt let an opponent to get once again into the game. It needs to be mentioned that Vincent Aboubakar continues to be taking lion share of the good performance as among converting penalty, he also scored in the end of the 1st half. Meanwhile, only negative aspect which could be given is injury of Cenk Tosun as club would be hoping for fast recovery from player.

Giresunspor which does need points to get rid of relegation scare did start game accordingly showing positive and attacking game with controlling game which led them to convert goals. However, ironically that goal had negative impact for them as Besiktas started showing much more effective game to which it couldnt respond. Giresunspor would need to show such game for 90 minutes.

With this win Besiktas keeps themselves at title race but more realistically it led them to get closer for 2nd spot as team is being on good form and looks like it would provide top performance in upcoming weeks.

Trabzonspor are lacking confidence and motivation right now.

Trabzonspor continues losing games back-to-back with this time losing to Kasimpasa with 2:0 scoreline as Black Sea is being most demotivated side right now and does lack direct focus for sure.

With changes of head coaches in recent weeks and uncertainty in such performance and CEO change had more negative impact to the team has been also been observed at the game against Kasimpasa as even through side did create some chances and did show some good willingness, the team is lacking concentration and motivation. Totally opposite could be stated for Kasimpasa who currently aiming to get themselves further from relegation zone and this confirmed into performance. Even through Kasimpasa did find goals through set pieces, its been much more organised side.

It does look Trabzonspor would complete season in such manner and would have difficult time next week against Besiktas without doubt. 

Fenerbahce would aim to carry on title race against in-form Fatih Karagumruk

With Fenerbahce regaining confidence and motivation with confident win against Kayserispor at the Turkish Cup following devastating loss to Besiktas at the league, it would be willing to send similar message at the league game against Fatih Karagumruk.

Stating that, when looking into period after devastating earthquake, Fatih Karagumruk is being side who is showing best performance with winning 5 games back-to-back and also has good performance against Istanbul sides in this season. With Fatih Karagumruk would coming out to provide similar performance against Fenerbahce, but Istanbul giant would see this game to be once again opportunity to send strong message for its title aims to its own fans and also to Galatasaray and hence bring back point difference to 6 points with Galatasaray not playing this week. Its tough to call favourite for this game and motivation for title does put slightly above Fenerbahce.

Fatih Karagumruk as been noted would give fight during game but Fenerbahce will do everything to get win.
