What happened in Turkish football today? 30/05/2023


 

Super League 2022-23 title is going to Galatasaray.

Galatasaray has won 23rd title at the league history after beating Ankaragucu with confident scoreline of 4:1 as side has shown strong character and willingness to win during 2nd half with Mauro Icardi scoring 2 goals and playing an important role.

It needs to be noted that Galatasaray did come out to the game with strong belief that it wont be winning title and it has shown this focus and character with Mauro Icardi goal on 7th minute as he was one of the main players who was pushing side into this title during recent weeks. Even through there were minutes when Ankaragucu did provide some pressure towards Galatasaray and did find an equaliser, Galatasaray has bounced back in short period of time and did find 2nd goal which ked then to get control of the game. With getting into half-time with 2:1 scoreline, it would need to be staying focus as opponent did look for draw which it did in great manner as it has controlled game until 70th minute and after that started showing much more aggressive game and did find 2 goals which led them to win title. Hence, Galatasaray has showed once again great character during this game as it did whole season and whole team did get well-deserved league title.

Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned did come out to the game to get at least draw and it did provide such character and focus during 1st half as it did find an equaliser however it couldnt prevent their opponent who become more focussed during 2nd half.

Galatasaray hence become 2022-23 league title winners after beating Ankaragucu at away game with showing strong character for 90 minutes and such focus and character let them to get title in such manner. 

Fenerbahce did get win but it wasnt enough to keep title hopes alive.

Fenerbahce as it is known did come out to Antalyaspor with a focus to win game and also waiting for point loss from Galatasaray in Ankara and it did manage that with getting 2:0 scoreline but this game without doubt has affected from Galatasaray game.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce did find an early goal thanks to the Enner Valencia on 2nd minute as to some extend it aimed to send an important message to Galatasaray that it would win its own game but that didnt manage to provide pressure to title winners as it is known. It also needs to be mentioned that quite understandably Fenerbahce supporters mind during 90 minutes has been on Galatasaray and this has affected into how much their have been at the game and even led to protest after Galatasaray has scored 3rd goal. In fact, poor game of Antalyaspor who is being one of the most disoriented side has led for such win as Fenerbahce morale has been affected without doubt to players. Still, Fenerbahce players did aim to be focussed on this game and get win for which it could be praised at least.

Antalyaspor as been noted has been pretty disoriented due of poor performance in recent weeks and this has affected negatively to this game also and apart of some chances it didnt provide much pressure to Fenerbahce goal and it does look like it would end season in such manner.

Fenerbahce did do their part in their low hopes for title but as we see this has not been enough unfortunately for them and would now focus to get at least good score at derby game. 

Trabzonspor get confident win against Giresunspor

Trabzonspor has got confident win against Giresunspor at the Black Sea derby with 4:2 scoreline and did win confidently for 2 weeks back-to-back as Nenad Bjelica has started sending message that he knows team well and wold make side which would win games.

Trabzonspor did set an eye for last games without doubt to win games in confident manner as we are entering to last weeks and taking account that Giresunspor did come out to game which it preferably needed to win game this result should be seen as good outcome for them without doubt. Hence, Trabzonspor is showing some positive game and last 2 games are showing lots of positive optimism for next season to its supporters.

Giresunspor did look to be pretty ineffective as their did in recent weeks and even through it did find 2 goals it did come when Trabzonspor did reduce tempo and to some extend has allowed them to find goals.

Trabzonspor hence did get an important win for confidence and motivation especially for looking for last 2 games of the season and also for next season
