What happened in Turkish football today? 17/03/2024



Fenerbahce wins an important win against Trabzonspor at needless tension game between fans.

Fenerbahce got very important win against Trabzonspor with 3:2 scoreline at the game which sadly has been dominated by hooligan behaviour of Trabzonspor supporters especially at 2nd half due of high pressure in Turkish football world.

Despite of high number of talks Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce administrators and coaches to state that this game would be just another game where focus should be given to the football at field some supporters did have different aims and idea of this game as some plastic bottles has been thrown into field and also game has ended with Trabzonspor supporters inventing field where Fenerbahce supporters were celebrating victory. Coming to game, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce has been side which did provide good performance as Fred did find his first 2 goals for the team in the league and did control whole 1st half while opponent did raise its pressure and did find 2 goals with one of them being from Trezeguet penalty however with title race for Fenerbahce pushed Michy Batshuayi to find crucial goal which has bring win to the team. 

Coming to the Trabzonspor, as been noted it did start game during 1st half without getting any control of the 1st half as it failed to get full control of the ball but it needs to be mentioned that it got into higher performance during 2nd half and did find equaliser and hence Trabzonspor did show strong attitude after poor performance on 1st half but couldnt prevent Fenerbahce rise of tempo as Batshuayi did find an open goal.

Fenerbahce hence did find an important goal on such crucial game which has been with higher tension and hence continues its title race with Galatasaray as point difference is still being 2 ponts.

Galatasaray has shown strong fighting spirit with a win against Kasimpasa.

Galatasaray carries on its winning run and leadership at the league despite of not being at its best as it struggle a lot against Kasimpasa but due of opponent getting red card towards end of game and detirmination led them to win game.

This has been seen by many as most difficult game for Galatasaray among games which are left in the rest of the season and it has turned out to be case as it did see Kasimpasa which did come out for the game which it wanted to win and it hard to state that team did get whole control of the game and there were moments when opponent looked to be better side. In fact, in all fairness first two goals did come for quality factors with using its skills with which it has found both goals. It also needs to be mentioned that penalty position and red card which has been followed for that has also played an important role even if Mauro Icardi didnt convert his goal chance. As been noted, Galatasaray didnt provide its best performance and did fail to get full control of the game but detirmination and not giving up regardless of scoreline has brought win to them and therefore made an important step towards winning title in the end of the season.

Without doubt when looking at game as a whole it could be stated confidently that Kasimpasa did deserve at worse draw with such performance and has provided strong performance and positive game with keep looking for goals and chances. Such performance does provide important positive signs as it fights for Conference League spot.

Galatasaray as been noted didnt necesarilly provide its best game but this desire of winning title has played crucial role and hence did make an important step as we enter to last 8 games of the season.

Besiktas continues showing poor performance as it lost to Antalyaspor

Besiktas continues its poor performance as it lost this time to Antalyaspor with 2:1 scoreline, only showing some reaction and reasonably good performance during 2nd half as it been unlucky in last minute.

Besiktas continues to show poor performance during 1st half with Fernando Santos and showing an improvement and more organised game during 2nd half but taking account that it did end 1st half with 2:0 scoreline, it is being reaction too late. It needs to be mentioned that it is being unlucky for not ending game at least with 1 point as Milot Rashica did slip when taking penalty kick and touched ball twice which led for goal to be disallowed. Besiktas would need to focus during this national team break as team is being in serious decline and gets further from fight for 2nd spot.

Besiktas hence continues showing poor performance and as team needs to find ways to improve its performance on the field.
