What happened in Turkish football today? 12/08/2023



Title holders starts season with goalless draw against Kayserispor.

Title holders has started season with goalless draw at away against Kayserispor as it did look to be pretty uncreative at the front line for most amount of the game even through they were one who has controlled tempo and only led opponent to get few chances of the moment.

It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray does tend to have start of the season in recent years in pretty manner and to some extend this has been case during this game as it did lose 3 points and didnt provide similar performance as it did against Olimpija Ljubjana. It needs to be mentioned that in surprising manner game has started without leading attacking players in the starting 11 which did have some issues as Galatasaray didnt have much creativity. It needs to be mentioned that Kayserispor has been side which has been providing defensive game but did that in great manner as Kayserispor goalkeeper did provide good defence. With providing such great defensive game by opponent, Galatasaray didnt manage to get creative chances and as side became more tired chances fell.

Kayserispor it needs to be mentioned has provided good defensive game and has shown respect to title holders and with such good organising defence and goalkeeper being also in form hs led for side to get goalless draw. In addition, it needs to be mentioned that Kayserispor also did get some chances and could get a good win in start of the season.

Galatasaray starts season with 1 point and did lack creative attacking game it shown last season but it needs to be remembered that this has been only 1st game of the season.

Trabzonspor did get win on opening week but still needs place to improve.

Trabzonspor has started its new season with a win against Antalyaspor with 1:0 scoreline as Stefano Denswill did score not only 1st goal but also first goal of 2023-24 season but it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor didnt provide very good performance against side which did lose some players during summer.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor did have very good start of the game with providing high number of opportunities in front which did come back from an early goal with header of Stefano Denswill and it did dominate 1st half where it could even score more goals but during 2nd half side tempo and effectiveness has been reduced and as game developed, towards end of 2nd half Antalyaspor did start getting some good chances and has been unlucky or lacked last touches to find an equaliser. Therefore despite of winning game, Trabzonspor didnt provide very promising side especially for next week as it going to play against Galatasaray as this performance might not be enough for win.

Trabzonspor hence did start season with a win which is always important but it would need to improve performance if it wants to continue winning next week.

Gaziantep will play its first official game against Fenerbahce after devastating earthquake

Fenerbahce are going to start 2023-24 season against Gaziantep which would be playing its 1st professional football game following devastating earthquake on 6th February as it didnt complete previous season.

Hence, Fenerbahce which does aim for league title would be starting its campaign for title against side which would coming to game where it would be aiming to show to everyone that it has shown strong bouncing back from earthquake and aims to get some strong positive performance and results in upcoming weeks. Therefore, game would be between both sides which both sides would be aiming to show its best game. Fenerbahce which did play 3 games at Conference League qualifiers might be feeling much ready as it did provide some good performance and has won all 3 games so it would be coming out with high confidence and motivation. Fenerbahce hence will be favourites but Gaziantep as been noted will aim to show good game also.

Hence, this game would be between sides which would be aiming for win for different reasons but this could turn into game to be pretty enjoyable at field.
