What happened in Turkish football today? 22/01/2023



Galatasaray got an easy win against Trabzonspor

Galatasaray got an easy win against Trabzonspor with 5:1 scoreline and with such win has send an important message to Fenerbahce at title race as it equalised points with them and got confidence boost.

When looking into form and quality factors between 2 sides it needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did come out as clear favourites but it wasnt to be such an easy win as it did dominate especially whole 2nd half. There was still some uncertainty if Galatasaray would have won game mainly due of decline of performance of the team rather than performance but it was clear that Galatasaray did prepare to game in serious manner among having also psychological factor. Wifried Zaha has shown his best performance since joining team with scoring 2 goals and also providing one asisst and in general did look confident and concentrated to the game from start to an end and did make clear that he is good alternative to Mauro Icardi.

Galatasaray hence did get win against Trabzonspor in much easier and confident manner than was expected would now look at upcoming weeks with higher motivation and confidence.

Trabzonspor are showing ineffective game despite being 3rd on table.

Trabzonspor did come out to the game with not very effective performance in recent weeks despite of being at 3rd spot and it didnt provide anything to an opponent.

It is been stated that getting points did provide wrong image of condition of the team towards Abdullah Avci, and this scoreline from title contender has been good reality check and realisation of condition which team is currently. Trabzonspor does need to improve if it wants to get 3rd spot as it would be losing lots of points if it carries on performing like this.

Trabzonspor are playing simple game and it needs to find solutions to show much more stronger game with current squad.

Fenerbahce gets unexpected loss of 2 points

Playing at home and having great record, it wasnt unexpected to lose points from Samsunspor but despite of finding an early goal, Fenerbahce did fail to provide full dominance of the game which been used from them.

It needs to stated that Edin Dzeko, Szymanski and Tadic were not in best performance during game and even through some criticisms has been made for substituting all 3 players in last 20 minutes, which is being wrong decision due of this players providing an effective game, it still does show that those players were not at best performance. Fenerbahce tends to find more goals after scoring especially when finding an early goal but this time it did look more satisfied with 1 goal even through it needs to be stated that Samsunspor did provide good defensive game and also did play role for not finding 2nd goal. This result of course would be seen as bad outcome when every win is being crucial and it did lose small advantage over Galatasaray.

This loss of 2 points would be seen as unwanted but it would not affect morale and confidence of the team in upcoming games as target is being set clear for team without doubt.
