What happened in Turkish football today? 02/09/2023



Galatasaray has got confident result against Gaziantep but needs to improve

Galatasaray has managed to get confident win against Gaziantep during Super League 4th week with 3:0 scoreline as it has provided once again into highly focussed results but it needs to be admitted that Gaziantep is being currently at poor form which made things easier to Istanbul giant.

It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did start game at high note with providing an effective attacking game with finding an early goal by Kerem Akturkoglu on 2nd minute but goal has been disallowed due of offside however Akturkoglu continued to push and did find a goal after 4 minutes. It needs to be stated that after 1:0 Galatasaray did lose domination of the game and to some extend did allow Gaziantep to create chances and thats taking account that opponent did lack organised game and hence this game should be a lesson still to Galatasaray despite of the result. During 2nd half, Galatasaray to some extend has continued to show such game but Mauro Icardi once again has taken leading role and did find 2 goals with one coming from penalty. Therefore, Icardi has been once again key player but Okan Buruk needs to focus on how to make this team much strong at attacks.

Gaziantep has provided pretty poor performance with making mistakes at defence and also didnt have much chances including in moments when Galatasaray to some extend and it does look both in transfers and also performance wise it has many things to do at national team break.

Galatasaray did get 3:0 win but it does lack dominance which people used at team during previous season and this should be focus for Okan Buruk in upcoming season.

Trabzonspor got confident win against Kasimpasa.

Trabzonspor has got a confident win against Kasimpasa with 5:1 scoreline at the game where it has provided in total of 6 shots with only not being converted as goal and has provided fast tempo game.

Even through Trabzonspor did get such win against Kasimpasa it still needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor didnt get full dominance of the game especially at the start of the game where Kasimpasa has provided some pressure towards Trabzonspor goal and did find some high number of the chances. In fact, it would be unfair to state that Kasimpasa showed very poor game as it aimed for positive focussed game but it show poor game at defence with Trabzonspor getting goals in all its attacks as been noted. In Trabzonspor side with losing back-to-back 2 games in the league, such a win would provide much needed confidence before national team break and could be turning point for them in the season.It has also been good night for Enis Bardhi.

Hence, Trabzonspor did get an important win without doubt and would be entering to national team break at high morale and confidence.

Fenerbahce would aim to carry on winning run against resistant Ankaragucu 

Fenerbahce would be aiming to continues its winning run of 2023-24 season with a game against Ankaragucu which tends one of the most difficult away games due of strong support which Ankara supporters tend to recieve from its fans.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce without doubt has got wind behind their back with results both from the league and also Conference League qualifying and has become very good players among strong players and hence when coming into performance wise Fenerbahce would be one of the favourites. In addition, there is also expectation for Livakovic to be playing in starting 11 and hence he and whole team might be getting an extra movitation for this game. Coming to Ankaragucu, it is being side which has aimed for long time to provide performance at which it would be able to compete with big clubs and always been highly motivated in such games and hence we might see some organised performance from Ankaragucu which might lead from Fenerbahce to focus into providing some creativity on the field if it wants to get win.

Fenerbahce is being on good form both with results and also level of players and hence it would be coming as strong favourites but it wont be an easy as Ankaragucu as been mentioned tends to provide strong performance against big 4 clubs.
