What happened in Turkish football today? 18/01/2023



Galatasaray got to last 16 after showing confident game against Umraniyespor

Galatasaray has qualified to Turkish Cup last 16 after beating Umraniyespor with 4:1 scoreline as it got behind from 1:0 as Baris Alper Yilmaz did score an own goal at the early minutes of the game.

In fact, an own goal which has been scored from Yilmaz on 10th minute which did come out from simple mistake has been to some extend a waking up call for the team as it provided much more attacking and effective game as Yilmaz himself did find an equaliser and hence has solved his mistake. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did come out heavily from players which didnt get much of playing time during this season or players which needed some confidence boost and also opportunity to prove themselves even more to Okan Buruk. Taking account that Umraniyespor did provide good performance and aimed to show positive game, Galatasaray current squad did provide some good game and provided some strong seriousness as this result would provide confidence and motivation for upcoming games.

Despite of quality factors between side, Umraniyespor did aim to shwo some strong and confident performance and despite of losing with 4:1 scoreline it did show some positive and did provide some issues to Galatasaray.

Galatasaray hence did get into last 16 against Umraniyespor and continues to compete at high level at all 3 competitions it is at.

Trabzonspor gets to last 16 after beating Manisa FK.

Trabzonspor has qualified to last 16 of the Turkish Cup after beating Manisa FK at home ground with 3:1 scoreline as it provided game with its own control despite of one point game to be played at 1:1 scoreline.

With Trabzonspor currently focussing into 3rd spot at the Super League, it is also known that team is treating Turkish Cup in all seriousness due of being fast track to European competitions and hence did come out with ideal 11 squad and has started game in high tempo which led for Fountas to find an early goal at 7th minute. After some relaxation of this goal,it did concede goal on 14th minute but it needs to be stated that it did get back into concentration and has raised tempo as game developed which led for team to find 2 more goals and get 3:1 scoreline. Even through there were moments when team did lose concentration in overall it did provide good game and got deserved win.

Manisa FK is being one of the side at lower division which tries to show some positive game and hence it did provide some good resistance and game plan against Trabzonspor in some moments but due of quality factor did lose game.

Trabzonspor hence continues its journey at Turkish Cup as it does look to be one of the main priorities for them and they showed that with their performance.

Fenerbahce got confident win against Adanaspor

Fenerbahce has got confident win against Adanaspor during Turkish Cup 5th round game with 6:0 scoreline and that taking account that it has been played with players which doesnt recieve much playing time.

Richness and factor that every starting 11 does have an alternative at the team has been known from start of the season but it became more visible during Adanaspor game as Michy Batshuayi has scored 4 goals sending message that team has another goal scorer among Edin Dzeko. This game also has been first game for 90 minutes for Leonardo Bonucci and 1st game for Rade Krunic as both players did provide pretty strong and confident performance at the field. In overall, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce has shown strong dominant games without giving Adanaspor any chances and showed that among its aims for this season will be to defend Turkish Cup title.

Fenerbahce hence did show strong and confident performance against Adanaspor and make it clear that it is taking Turkish Cup very seriously among other competitions.
