What happened in Turkish football today? 11/01/2023



Galatasaray lost 2 points with poor game

.Galatasaray loses 2 points during an away game against Sivasspor with providing pretty poor performance while playing game at poor stadium condition and even through it wasnt an exciting game, there was always big tension especially during last minutes of the game.

Following loss without doubt would have negative impact towards Galatasaray psychologically, as its main rival Fenerbahce carry on winning in strong manner and every lost point without doubt could potentially have lots of damage. It needs to be mentioned that even through Galatasaray has been side which did start game at high note and aggressively with creating lots of chances, absences of its key players due of injuries or African Cup of Nations has been visible as it failed to provide right shots into goal which it did seek for. Galatasaray as been stated did provide strong pressure to Sivasspor goal and thanks to that it has scored a goal right in the end of the half. As game has been continuing, some visible signs of tiredness has become visible at Galatasaray and towards 70th minute all control of game has went to Sivasspor and this has provided without doubt confidence to side as it provided much more aggressive game and has found well-deserved equaliser. Galatasaray after conceding goal didnt raise performance at the level which would bring them winning goal.

Sivasspor on their part didnt specifically look great during whole game but towards end of the game with using factor that Galatasaray has shown sign of tiredness and lack of concentration, did manage to turn around game and could even get a win if it been more effective in attack.

Galatasaray did provide some worrying signs during game against Konyaspor and at this time it didnt provide performance which been expected from them and did lose 2 points with poor performance. 

Trabzonspor continues to win with unconvincing game.

Trabzonspor continues to win games with its head coach Abdullah Avci even through it would be needed to state that it didnt provide once again very pleasant eye-catching performance and has been more seek into getting result.

With having some absent players and to some extended limited squad, Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avci does consider more to make kind of game which would win game rather show quality game. This game has been once again played in low tempo and didnt provide much creativity but still team did manage to find 2 goals thanks to Belkovic and Paul Onuachu which has helped side to get another win despite of not providing very good game during 2nd half with Samsunspor getting some good chances for 90 minutes.

Samsunspor meanwhile had performance of two halves as it did provide some poor game and looked passive in 1st half but has changed some tactics in 2nd half with creating some good chances but did find goal too late.

Trabzonspor hence got an important win and has secured its 3rd spot even more at the end of the 1st half but its kind of game is not being yet convincing.

Fenerbahce continues to dominate as it found 7 goals against Konyaspor

Fenerbahce got confident win against Konyaspor with 7:1 scoreline thanks to the Edin Dzeko hat-trick within first 40 minutes and hence has scored in total of 12 goals in 2 games which been played in 2024.

This game without doubt has shown how much team is concentrated and is believing at winning title at the end of the season as it continues to dominate league with Galatasaray. Even through when looking at the game it could be noted that Konyaspor didnt provide much resistance to Fenerbahce, it needs to be mentioned that with strong and dominating game whcih been shown from Istanbul giant has also prevented opponent to get mentally especially into the game.It is also especially present to see that in recent games we are seeing hat-tricks from team but there are coming from different players which does show that different players are willing to take leading role at specific games and show quality of whole squad.

Fenerbahce hence continues to dominate with scoring in total of 56 goals in 19 games which been played in season and has no aims to slow down.
