What happened in Turkish football today? 08/10/2023


 

Fenerbahce continues showing dominant game with beating Kasimpasa this time.

Fenerbahce continues its winning run at the Super League rising it to 8 games at the league and 17 games in general as it has beaten an away game against Kasimpasa as it showed confident performance at the game where it did come as favourite.

Without doubt an early goal which did come from Edin Dzeko who continues taking a leading role of the team did make things much ore easier in the game and following goal Fenerbahce did provide strong and confident performance on the field and even through it did reduce tempo in some of the moments it didnt let Kasimpasa to create chances. One of the crucial factors at Fenerbahce during this season has been to stay focussed both in defensive and attacking game as it didnt also allow many opportunities and this has been case in this game as Kasimpasa did have an issues to get into attacking game.Hence, Fenerbahce with this advantage didnt also let them to dominate game but also to control game as it wishes to.

Kasimpasa who did come out as underdogs did try to provide some resistant performance and has managed to do so to some extend as it didnt let Fenerbahce to get high number of the chances compare to previous game but quality factor still been clear.

Fenerbahce hence enters national team break with 100% winning rate and has managed to do that as confident side and performance.

Besiktas got an important win in difficult period.

Besiktas has managed to get very important win against struggling Istanbulspor with 2:0 scoreline despite of fact that team is going right now due of very difficult conditions but has shown an important emotional reaction.

With dramatic loss to Lugano at Conference League and following this game resignation of head coach Senol Gunes and call of an early election from Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi has meant that team would be going through very difficult period and it has been interesting how side would be responding to this with unexperienced but potential coach Burak Yilmaz. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas did come into togetherness for this game and has been focussed to get win especially when it was playing at home ground. Not being able to prepare to game in ideal conditions this factors has been seen but it is clear that Burak Yilmaz did provide an important confidence and motivational talk prior to game. It could be argue that it did play against opponent who has been in bad condition. But still its difficult to come out and show such top performance in such conditions.

Meanwhile, looking from Istanbulspor perspective it continues to have some issues especially in the attack and due of this factor has failed to provide right reaction and pressure and it needs to find solutions urgently in this national team break.

Besiktas did manage to get such an important win in such crucial mental conditions but now side would find new head coach very likely and possibly prepare for next game in better conditions.

Galatasaray has won Antalyaspor despite of signs of tiredness during game.

Galatasaray continues its winning run raising it to the 7 games back-to-back in the league, this time beating into tough game against Antalyaspor as it showed signs of tiredness following Champions League game against Manchester United.

Turkish clubs in generally, and especially Galatasaray tend to show some issues when returning from Champions League back to the league with losing some crucial points historically. Even through Galatasaray did win game, it still needs to be stated that it did show some serious signs of tiredness during 1st half and also Antalyaspor being aware of that did show some good reaction to this. In fact, Antalyaspor did show very good defensive game but didnt support that with an attacking game and taking account into quality legs of Istanbul giant it would not be enough. In fact, Mauro Icardi has been pretty far from top level performance but did convert a goal which did bring victory from 2:0 scoreline. It has been tough game hence for them but their did get an important win and would enter to national team break at high confidence.

Galatasaray has been far from its used dominant game but did use its opportunities in 2nd half in pretty effective manner without doubt.
