Besiktas draws against Pendikspor due of not taking serious its opponent.
Besiktas has got unexpected draw against Super League newcomers Pendikspor as it has conceded on last minute of the game from penalty kick of Oscar Romeo as Besiktas did provide pretty slow and ineffective performance.
It could be noted that after getting 1:0 result thanks to Coley goal on 12th minute, Besiktas did show signs of tiredness and also calmness as it did provide performance like it has won game taking account that 1:0 is being very critical scoreline regardless who are opponent. Besiktas did provide some worrying signs even if it did win an opening game and also did get good results at Conference League and this has become even more clearer during this game. It needs to be stated that with an early goal scored by Colley and generally controlling game during 1st half did provide view that Besiktas would be winning game without much issue but this certainty from players has led them to lose concentration which led to penalty. Probably most important lessons which Besiktas needs to get from this game is that no game is being won without being won and regardless who are opponents are, it would be using opportunity whenever it gets one. Besiktas to some extend has got reality check to technical staff and players.
Pendikspor without doubt did get very important win for themselves and did get motivation and confidence boost for upcoming games especially after losing to Hatayspor with 5:1 scoreline on opening week. This result could lead Pendikspor to restart its season and would now look more optimistic to upcoming weeks.
Besiktas hence didnt get much seriousness and mood to get win against not very difficult opponent, to all respect to them, and now side would need to take hard lessons for rest of the season.
Galatasaray gets its first win at league thanks to Mauro Icardi.
Galatasaray has won its 1st league game during 2022-23 Super League season as it played against Trabzonspor during 2nd week at home ground with getting 2 great goals from its leading player Mauro Icardi at the game where referee performance has been criticised.
It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did significantly improve compare to an opening week as it provided much more attacking focussed game as it started effective attacks on midfielding and didnt look much more fresh and creative compare to Trabzonspor. It also needs to be mentioned that Mauro Icardi did come out at the game at high concentration and motivation as it did have a positive impact into how side performed. This performance without doubt provided a positive expectation and view prior to game against Molde at Champions League play-off round as such positive view and approach could be key in this 2 leg games. Galatasaray also provided lots of criticism towards performance of the referee who did make some questionable decisions for 90 minutes.
Galatasaray hence did provide view that it is being on good form at home ground games and are expected to carry on like during whole season.
Trabzonspor is not being on same level as Galatasaray right now
Even through it is too early to state if Trabzonspor would be able to fight for title during this season, this game did provide that right now there is big quality difference between two sides.
It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor did come out to the game at the right attitude and did aim to get some chances, but Galatasaray being ready to the game as it did play extra 4 games due of Champions League qualifiers did play its important role and also it did look like players didnt found way how to overpass opposition supporters who managed to provide enough pressure. As been mentioned, Trabzonspor players did come out to get win and did provide occassionally but it did lack last touches and creativity in the attack which did prevent them to get lots of chances as game progressed. Therefore, Trabzonspor does need to improve in some areas and would need to provide much more agressive and creative game at front.
Hence, this performance does show that they are willingness at team but side would need to improve if it aims to fight for title this season.
