What happened in Turkish football today? 10/04/2023



Fenerbahce kept at title race with showing effective game on 2nd half.

Fenerbahce has kept its title race arrive as it has reduced point difference against Galatasaray to 6 points and has also ended undefeating run of Fatih Karagumruk as it has shown strong character during 2nd half of the game.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce did provided pretty poor 1st half as it didnt provide much pressure to Fatih Karagumruk with providing without doubt pretty passive game and did end 1st half with losing 1:0 against opponent which wasnt on their best day too. In fact, conceded goal from Ozdoev has been come from mistake from Altay Bayindir due of not being able to catch ball. However, with changes at Fenerbahce on half-time as Miha Zajc and Joao Pedro has ended into field and also effective talk from Jorge Jesus during half-time without doubt has affected into performance as side has shown strong attacking game. Miha Zajc hence has provided an effective shot which has provided waking up call for the team. Fenerbahce hence provided a performance during 2nd half which showed character of team which is fighting for title which was missing in 1st half.

It needs to be mentioned that Fatih Karagumruk has shown pretty ineffective game and didnt provide much pressure which has been used to be seen from side especially when it went ahead against Fenerbahce while opponent showed poor game. Ending undefeating run would also affect team confidence possibly.

Fenerbahce hence kept its title race alive as it has reduced to 6 points and to some extend has send message to whole Turkish football community that its too early to call Galatasaray as champions.

Besiktas sends an important message with win against Giresunspor for top spot.

Besiktas has managed to get win against Giresunspor with 3:1 scoreline with getting behind from 1:0 loss and hence has won 5th game back-to-back at home ground and keeping its alive at title race and more realistic in the fight for 2nd spot.

It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas didnt have very good start of the game as Giresunspor did show confident and strong attacking game for first 20 minutes as it has also found a goal. However,this conceded goal has been waking up call for Besiktas as it has started showing much more effective game and without doubt penalty goal from Vincent Aboubakar on 39th minute has provided more motivation and confidence to them, while it had opposite effect to Giresunspor. As game has progressed, Besiktas has got more control of the game with more or less getting full control during 2nd half where it has also found 3rd goal. This result has shown without doubt that Besiktas is being at high confidence and would stay at race for higher spots until end of the season.

This win hence has been an important motivational and confidence boost as it sends important message that it aims to end season at highest spot it can.

Giresunspor joins club which call for Lale Orta resignation

Meanwhile, Giresunspor has joined to the clubs which are showing unhappiness with performance of referees and Central Referee Committee CEO Lale Orta calling for resignation of latest following Besiktas game.

The incident which led for such events from Giresunspor to take place has been foul from Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar with hitting into face of Giresunspor players in two different but back-to-back positions which clubs argues quite rightfully was red card, but referee has only given warning to Aboubakar. This position has also affected to whole game as Giresunspor and Aboubakar has been under tension during whole game. Lale Orta has been criticised since been appointed by many clubs, especially Galatasaray,  and it would be interesting if she would be doing some actions with such criticism as statement in broadcasting previous week has not been enough.

Lale Orta is being under big pressure and we would follow if any developments would be taking place in upcoming period.
