What happened in Turkish football today? 03/09/2023



Fenerbahce continues its winning streak against tough Ankaragucu 

Fenerbahce continues its 100% record run during this season in all competitions as it got win against one of the difficult away games in this league against Ankaragucu thanks to the goal from Samuel Osayi-Samuel on 61st minute.

It could be argued that current league leaders are not showing dominant game and has allowed Ankaragucu to create some chances but the team still continues to win in whatever circumstances as Edin Dzeko especially did look to be in good form despite of not converting two goals and has been name to provide a great assist to Osayi-Samuel which ended up being a great goal without doubt. Therefore, it has been important for Fenerbahce to get such win without providing too much great game but has shown detirmanation and it needs to be reminded that towards last 10 minutes it has been with one less man due of two yellow cards of Ismail Yuksek which two of them being undebatle but 2nd could be defended for being out of panic. Fenerbahce still got very important win and does enter to national team break at very high confidence and motivation.

Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned that did provide lots of problems to Fenerbahce players with providing strong performance and has provided both strong defensive performance and showed good counter-attacking game. Despite of loss, Ankaragucu does provide promising view for games after national team break.

Fenerbahce hence did get very important win against Ankaragucu as it is being one of the difficult away games in this league and enters to national team break with only side not to lose points at league.

Besiktas got confident result against Sivasspor with 2 goals coming on 1st half.

Besiktas has got a confident win against Sivasspor thanks to 2 goals which been scored during 1st half by Omar Colley and Milot Rashica as Sivas side didnt manage to provide pressure to opponents as much as was expected prior to game.

It needs to be mentioned that possibly in the sense of the domination and providing strong attacking game Besiktas didnt provide it entirely, but it did provide strong organising and patient game with strong focus into defence and also creating some effective chances. It needs to mentioned that prior to 1st goal by Omar Colley, game has been going in between for some parts but as soon as goal did come and also after 15 minutes goal from Milot Rashica has made things much easier and let Besiktas to play much more controllable game with controlling tempo of the game. It also needs to eb mentioned that it has been important for Besiktas to bounce back in strong manner after unexpected draw against Pendikspor and send strong message for league title.

Sivasspor on their parts have been expected prior to game to provide some aggresive performance and some aggresive performance as it did have pretty good start of the season but it needs to be mentioned that team has been affected negatively from conceded goals. This game for sure provided some lessons for Servet Cetin for national team break.

Besiktas on they part did get an important win and has raised its confidence and motivation as team enters to national team break as after drawing during last game it needed to show some reaction. 

Galatasaray got easy win against out of form Gaziantep

Galatasaray got a confident win against Gaziantep with 3 goals which did come mainly for poor performance of opponents as it didnt provide much resistance and organising game but it does need to be mentioned that positive play both by Kerem Akturkoglu and Mauro Icardi also been key with this result.

There were some worries that Galatasaray might be negatively affected by Champions League play-off round game against Molde which went pretty physically and even through side didnt provide very good performance, it didnt affect possibly much negatively into performance wise as it started to provide an attacking game and found an early goal with Akturkoglu after his goal has been disallowed. It was clear that aim has been to find an early goal and get control of the game against side which is being at bad form and it has managed to do just that. Even through some criticism could be given to performance of the side at field, it still has shown good and confident performance and has got an important win prior to national team break which it deserved as it played many games.

Hence, Galatasaray would enter to national team break as it would focus into improving its performance and also make some last moment transfers.
