What happened in Turkish football today? 30/10/2023


 

Besiktas get important win against Gaziantep for its confidence.

Besiktas has won an important game against Gaziantep with 2:0 scoreline which without doubt has been very crucial win as it kept themselves at race for the top spot and also provided confidence and motivation which it was lacking.

It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas did start game in pretty controllable game and has been opening game as it developed with providing more pressure and hence created chances as time went on as even through compare to 2nd half it didnt look as effective, it did created some chances as game been progressing and has found two goals from headers both from Salih Ucan and Cenk Tosun. It needs to be mentioned that this win among raising motivation and confidence, it also has been important for them to be getting win while having lots of absences as Rachid Ghezzal has also become injured as game has been progressed. Hence, this been an important win and even through it is still outsider for top spot, it has managed to keep difference to 11 points.

Gaziantep it needs to be stated did provide some good performance with providing brave and attacking game as it did create some very good chances but once again didnt overpass goalkeeper which tends to be so far an issue at the team. Still, if it manages to improve final touches it would be able to get some points in close future.

Hence, Besiktas did get an important win and would now aiming to keep this confidence for upcoming weeks as it would be aim to get closer to top clubs.

Fenerbahce continues its winning run with beating Pendikspor with ease.

Fenerbahce continues its 100% record run as this time it has beaten in very confident manner Pendikspor with 5:0 scoreline at the game where Edin Dzeko has scored hat-trick and has reached to 10 goals in season.

Fenerbahce actually did start game in pretty slow manner and didnt provide much dominant game for first 30 minutes while as would been expected Pendikspor didnt provide much pressure to the opponent and hence it did look like Fenerbahce would be able to turn around game. It needs to be mentioned that Ismail Yuksek continues to be playing an important role at midfielding as great pass to Bright Osayi-Samuel has been turning point as team did get a goal. With another goal coming in the end of the 1st half has made things much more easier during 2nd half as it did looked more dangerous. Fenerbahce possibly didnt provide fast tempo which been visible on previous games but despite of that it did get confident result and did use an attacking game in strong manner.

Fenerbahce has raised its winning run to 19 games in all competition and would now be focussing towards struggling Trabzonspor game next week.

Trabzonspor attacking game is getting worser by each week.

Trabzonspor continues to be showing ineffective performance and even decline of it with Abdullah Avci as it has completed Fatih Karagumruk without any shots on target for 90 minutes as game ended with goalless draw.

It is true that Abdullah Avci has been new to the team and hence doesnt deserve much criticism, but such ineffective performance, decline of performance from poor to worser, and Avci being pretty recently and knowing some players at squad is not being an excuse for such poor game. Trabzonspor did once again provide defensive game without conceding but without converting chances or even creating them would not bring side back to higher spots in the league and would continue losing points. Next it would be playing with league leaders Fenerbahce and current performance doesnt provide much optimism for the team.

Trabzonspor continues showing poor performance and it doesnt show much optimism for upcoming weeks.
