What happened in Turkish football today? 24/10/2023



Tiredness in the last 20 minutes didnt let Galatasaray to get 1 point against Bayern Munich

Galatasaray, in all fairness, did lose to Bayern Munich as expected with 3:1 scoreline but it needs to be stated that Istanbul giant did provide some good and organised performance as it did prevent Bayern Munich to get full control of the game until 73rd minute when Harry Kane did find goal which made his side go ahead.

Galatasaray without doubt did come out to the game as underdogs towards game against Bayern Munich but Okan Buruk did state prior to game that he would be aiming for the team to show performance where it would be able to stay at the game and despite of conceding goal on early minutes from Coman, it did show good comeback as it did get control of the game and did find an equaliser thanks to the Panenka penalty goal from Mauro Icardi. One of the good things which Galatasaray did tactically is to reduce tempo of the game and even through it didnt provide specificallly enjoyable view, it has been important for them to reduce it as with open game Bayern Munich would find many chances. It needs to be mentioned that factors which did affect to the game has been that Galatasaray did become tired as game did enter to 20 minutes and that has played direct impact with final outcome of the game as class game of Bayern Munich let team to find game.

Bayern Munich it needs to be stated didnt provide its best performance which would been affected which did happen due of some absences but also organised game from Galatasaray at the defence which prevented. Physicality of the side and also experience among quality of players has affected into final outcome. 

Galatasaray it could be stated did provide good performance but not converting chances did cost team at least getting draw but still there are positive aspects which could be taken from Galatasaray against one of football giants.

Trabzonspor gets an important win but needs to improve its gameplay.

Trabzonspor did manage to get win against Alanyaspor with 1:0 scoreline and hence did regain confidence at first game of its new head coach Abdullah Avci but it needs to be mentioned that it didnt yet perform in strong manner.

It needs to be stated that Alanyaspor are not having a very good season so far and does have an issue with controlling game and providing positive performance and hence this win should not be seen as good reference especially taking account that goal which Trabzonspor did score did come from simple mistake from Alanyaspor and also Aiwu scoring an own goal in not much being pressure position. Still, starting with a win for Abdullah Avci at the team which are not being in very good form and not in great confidence level has been important. To some extend, team did get confidence and morale and now Abdullah Avci would need to found ways how to make sure that side does provide much more confident performance.

Hence, Trabzonspor did get an important win but it didnt entirely satisfy how it has performed for 90 minutes. 

Besiktas player Tayfur Bingol has become injured.

Besiktas player Tayfur Bingol has become injured following game against Galatasaray which means that team caretaker coach Burak Yilmaz would need to find ways on how to fill his space.

Stating that, Tayfur Bingol is not being always starting 11 and side does have some replacements and taking account that issue tends to be as whole, Tayfur Bingol performance also hasnt been on top but still on good form he is being player who can provide trust in defensive area and therefore Yilmaz would be hoping that his recovery would be taking place at short period of time. Stating that, Besiktas whole defence has been not in great form so losing key defence player in most cases could have negative affect.

With Besiktas needing to win games both in Europe and domestically, this development would not be seen as too got for side right now for sure.
