What happened in Turkish football today? 11/08/2023



Trabzonspor starts season with minumum win as Denswill scored 1st goal of Super League this season

Trabzonspor is starting 2022-23 Turkish Super League season with a minumum win against Antalyaspor at home ground as this has also been result of openning game as Stefano Denswill goal on 8th minute has been an first goal of this new season.

It needs to be mentioned that when looking at the game as whole, it has been played at both halves as Trabzonspor has provided very strong of the game with providing an effective attacking game which led for a goal from Stefano Denswill header and continued to do so, but game has changed directly during 2nd half. Even through it could be noted that this should be seen as normal factor as it is being 1st game of the season for Trabzonspor, but it does also show that team is not entirely ready for this new season and does have some issues with providing top level performance for 90 minutes. Therefore, Trabzonspor head coach Nenad Bjelica needs to treat both halves seperately as it would win all games if it performs like 1st half and could lose all games if it shows 2nd half game.

Coming to Antalyaspor, it did take time for side to get into game as it looked pretty passive in the start and hence did concede goal but has got more confidence and attacking game with getting very good chances in 2nd half but due of quality and luck. Still, its 2nd half performance does provide view that side could provide an attacking game but does need to raise tempo.

Hence, 1st game of the season has been started at good tempo especially for Trabzonspor but being start of the season has led side to reduce tempo which it has shown and it does look side would need to work on stamina in this early stages.

Fenerbahce did get good result despite of some issues in 1st half.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Maribor at home ground with 3:1 scoreline even through it didnt ideal performance against Slovenian side especially during 1st half but things did improve during changes in 2nd half.

It needs to be mentioned that tactically Fenerbahce did start game in pretty wrongfully which led for Maribor to have some control of game for first 30 minutes and did provide some worrying views from supporters but it needs to be mentioned that when Ismail Kartal did into Szymanski into field, game has changed as he did raise tempo of the game and provide some freedom to fellow players especially to Dusko Tadic who start being at every area in the attack. Without doubt, Fenerbahce did have much more effective performance with Szymanski and hence did show that he would be key player in upcoming season without doubt. It has also been good to see that Kartal does made right changes which led for win and hence that he is not stubborn to start of game plan.

Fenerbahce didnt provide great performance but still got 3:1 leadership and is being close to get to play-off stage of qulaification.

Besiktas got an important win against Neftci Baku

Besiktas did have much more simpler performance than has been affected against Neftci Baku as two early goals without doubt did make things easier for Istanbul giant as it got win with 3:1 scoreline.

Even through Besiktas did come out as confident favourites against Neftci Baku, it was expected that Azeri side would provide some worrying times to opponents but with Besiktas showing strong detirmantion and raising tempo at the start of the game did lead for them to get two early goals from Vincent Aboubakar and Jackson Muleka goals. Only negative aspects from Besiktas that it did show too much relaxation after 3:0 and has led for Neftci Baku to create high number of great chances among scoring 1 goal which does keep some hopes for 2nd leg game. However, for 2nd leg Besiktas would be coming out at home and hence would be seen as strong favourites. It also needs to be mentioned that midfielders especially showed good performance as Salih Ucan provided important assists among scoring 3rd goal.

Besiktas hence did get an important win against Neftci Baku and now would be looking forward for 2nd leg game in Istanbul.
