What happened in Turkish football today? 26/11/2023



Fenerbahce got crucial win against Fatih Karagurmuk thanks to 2 goals from Dusan Tadic.

Fenerbahce has managed to get an important win without doubt at home ground with 2:1 scoreline thanks to 2 goals from Dusan Tadic between 48-58th minute as this win has been very important after not winning for 3 games.

It needs to be mentioned that even through Fenerbahce has been side which did control game and created chances, it did lack creativity and taking full control of the game as Fatih Karagurmuk did show strong organised performance and also has found good goal with counter-attack. With Fenerbahce providing not very strong effective game, it was questionable how performance would be changed after 1st half but it did provide much more attacking game on start and did find an early goal on 2nd half with Dusan Tadic due of foul towards Irfan Can Kahveci from opponent goalkeeper. With finding such an early goal, game did change into hand for Fenerbahce and with good organising attack and right positioning Tadic did score his 2nd goal which did provide final scoreline. Among Tadic scoring 2 goals, it needs to be mentioned that both Irfan Can Kahveci and Ferdi Kadioglu showing proactive game close to attacking area has played an important role with a win including prior to 2 goals being scored.

Fatih Karagumruk did provide good performance on recent weeks and has shown such level of performance on today's game with looking like proactive game and in some moments did look like head-on-head. It has been good game by them and does provide good view for upcoming games for them as it aims to raise on standings.

Fenerbahce without doubt did win an important game after not winning in last 3 games and did regain confidence prior to Nordsjaelland game at Conference League.

Besiktas got winning mentality of players but still not in high level in sense of performance

Besiktas has got an important win against Samsunspor both in sense of keeping chances for top spot alive and also for morale and confidence but it still needs to be mentioned that there were not much changes of gameplay before national team break.

Probably main aspect of Riza Calimbay having small training camp during national team break with his team is to raise winning mentality and fighting spirit of Besiktas, as it did show some signs of players wanting to win game with creating some chances and finding goal on last minute. However, when looking into how side performed and also creativity it didnt show much improvement as it did lack to get confident dominance of the game and in many parts has led for Samsunspor to get control of the game as Mert Gunok has made some very important saves from crucial shots and hence has played an important role with this 3 points. Besiktas both possibly lacking full confidence and physically readiness to dominate games and hence winning games in any game would raise those issues in upcoming weeks so in this sense this win has been important.

Despite of loss, Samsunspor didnt lack much from Besiktas as it did create number of good chances and had many moments of the game where it has been side which did have an upper hand. Such performance would provide lots of optimism for team to get out of relegation zone with such performance.

Besiktas hence did get an important win and this result would provide some motivational boost for upcoming weeks without doubt. 

Galatasaray got confident win against Manchester United.

Galatasaray has got confident win against Alanyaspor with 4:0 scoreline with providing full dominance of the game and hence has got high morale and confidence prior to Champions League game against Manchester United.

It needs to be reminded that during recent weeks Alanyaspor has shown poor performance in recent weeks and hence it did come out with low morale and confidence which without did go into hand for Galatasaray who has shown dominance of full game. Only negative aspect of the game for Galatasaray could be stated that it did find an opening goal bit too late as goal been scored from Mauro Icardi on 37th minute and hence it still provided high level performance for 1st half rather than ending game too early. Without doubt, key player of the game has been Dries Mertens who has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist and this performance would be very helpful for upcoming games where he could be taking key role once again.

Galatasaray did get an easy win against Alanyaspor and without providing too much pressure especially during 2nd half would mean that team would be in high morale and good condition physically against Manchester United.
