What happened in Turkish football today? 04/11/2023



Trabzonspor has shown strong organised game and used absence of defenders effectively.

Trabzonspor ends 100% winning run of Fenerbahce with 3:2 scoreline win in Istanbul as it did provided an extra motivation to the game while for Fenerbahce having main defenders to be injured without doubt has an impact of the game.

It needs to be mentioned that when looking at the game statistically Fenerbahce has been side which did control game and possession with looking at the game but Trabzonspor without doubt did provide strong organised game without letting Fenerbahce to get much into opportunities which led for home side to have some issues with getting into target and both goals coming from penalty kicks. Without doubt, turning point of the game for Trabzonspor has been goals which were found in start of the 2nd half as side has scored in duration of back-to-back goal within 2 minutes which led for Fenerbahce to show panic game which did go to some hand to Trabzonspor as it responded with organised game and that taking account that it did let 2 penalties to opponent. Trabzonspor did come with extra motivation, belief it would win game and transferring into an attacking game and that led for them to get such win.

Fenerbahce as been noted did provide positive game with controlling game for most amount of the game but without doubt coming to game without key defenders had its negative impact into how game developed with Trabzonspor using its chances in active manner. Also, when Fenerbahce did get game into 3:1, Ismail Yuksek 2 red card has affected negatively to the team and has affected into game even when it did look like team has been showing an attacking game. It needs to be stated however Fenerbahce did provided right attitude and fighting spirit for 90 minutes which should be praised regardless of the scoreline and hence this fighting spirit should be praised which also could be reason for 2 penalties which team did get. Fenerbahce hence did provide good fighting spirit but not having strong defensive players sadly for them did affect into outcome.

Trabzonspor which did come out as underdogs has provided smart game and has been aware that Fenerbahce defenders has been absent and this has affected into how game developed as team showed stong controllable game.

Galatasaray continues its winning run thanks to great performance of Zaha.

Galatasaray has got an important game against Kasimpasa even through it didnt provide strong and dominating game but with Wilfried Zaha showing his best game since joining team has led for win.

Since last season, in all fairness to whole Galatasaray games, Mauro Icardi has been main reason for successful performance of the team in most of the games however it needs to be mentioned that with win against Kasimpasa, Galatasaray supporters needs to be thankful for Wilfried Zaha and who has scored great goal on 1st half and also been lucky on 2nd half but to some extend this has been goal which he position himself. Despite of win, Galatasaray does provide some worrying view as it did decline its performance level after 2:1 which led for Kasimpasa to create more chances and if their had provided better last touches could even get draw result at least. Still, Galatasaray continues at winning games with getting into top spot with winning 10 games back-to-back. 

Galatasaray without doubt did keep its confidence and motivation at high note with this win but it needs to provide much more better performance if it wants to get good result against Bayern Munich in Champions League.

Besiktas will aim to improve performance against Antalyaspor 

Besiktas would be aiming to continue its momentum which it got from Gaziantep win on during last week as it would be playing against Antalyaspor and hence would be aiming to continue strong performance despite of club going through difficult and uncertain period.

It needs to be stated that with Burak Yilmaz taking role of caretaker coach, without difficult position for him as its being his main coaching experience, does continue unstable performance but did show strong character with some good performance against Gaziantep and for sure team would be aiming to get winning run but it would be playing against Antalyaspor which does provide occassionally good performance especially at home ground and this could have impact to Besiktas performance. Besiktas players would be coming out with much more confidence and motivation since Senol Gunes has resigned and now team would certainly aim to provide stronger attacking game.

Besiktas hence would be aiming to start winning run with game against Antalyaspor but it would not be an easy task even as opponent can provide problems to Istanbul giant.
