What happened in Turkish football today? 26/02/2023



Galatasaray got win against Antalyaspor despite  of ineffective performance

Galatasaray continues its winning run at very intense title race with beating this Antalyaspor at home with 2:0 scoreline with both goals coming from Kerem Akturkoglu at the game where team has in general struggled to show strong and dominant game.

Without doubt, it has been interested how would Galatasaray perform against out of form but still good side after being relegated from Europa League in pretty dramatic manner and it needs to be stated that it didnt provide similar game which it has shown in recent weeks. Despite of getting an early penalty goal in pretty debatable decision, Galatasaray did fail to get an attacking game and in fact Antalyaspor has shown an attacking game and did look like side which wanted to find an early goal. It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray player Kerem Akturkoglu among scoring 2 goals and not converting one of penalties with hitting to post did also did take leading role at attacking game. Still, Galatasaray did get an important win while not being at best day.

Antalyaspor meanwhile did provide strong and confident performance and did get quite a chances and if it managed to have better last touches into goal it might even get much positive scoreline for them. Still, this game does provide some optimism for upcoming games.

Galatasaray did get an important win even through it didnt show very good game it still did get back its leadership and still being at advantegous position for league title.

Trabzonspor got confidence and motivation with back-to-back wins.

Trabzonspor has continued its winning run after beating struggling Adana Demirspor with single goal from Trezeguet in early moments on 1st half and has controlled game thereafter.

It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor did get winning run which it has seeked for and hence did get pretty good advantage for a fight for 3rd spot to get Europa League spot but there are still some areas where it needs to improve as it still struggles to dominate game for most amount of time, but when coming to confidence and motivation it did get wind behind its back sort of speak. Another positive factor has been performance of Trezeguet as he did score in last 3 games and pushes team forward.

Hence, Trabzonspor did get an important win for a fight for 3 games and would come up in upcoming games with good motivation.

Besiktas got an important win against Istanbulspor before derby game

Besiktas has got pretty calm and confident win against last-spot Istanbulspor with 2:0 scoreline but it would need to mention that team is still lacking providing strong and dominant game on the field.

As once again, Semih Kilicsoy takes leading role in scoring matter as he did find an opening goal with once again showing hunger and reading of the position as he did move towards ball and once again showed that he is best player at the field for Besiktas. Still, Besiktas lacks to show strong and dominant game for 90 minutes and it would need to sort this out as soon as it can if it wants to get good result against Galatasaray.

Besiktas did get an important win but there are many areas which it needs to improve especially with performing for 90 minutes.
