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



Galatasaray has got crucial win with early own goal from Besiktas.

Galatasaray has got an important win for its route for title against Besiktas with 2nd minute own goal from Al Musrati which did come out in unlucky manner but it could be mentioned that apart of finding goal Besiktas did show some good reaction.

An early goal from Al Musrati unlucky header into own goal has allowed a bit tired Galatasaray due of active scheduling in recent weeks has let them to provide much more slower tempo game more focussing into defence into through it did get some chances as game has progressed. In fact, it needs to be stated that attacking players especially Mauro Icardi and Kerem Akturkoglu didnt provide its performance as game has been played in some extend from defenders, midfielders and as usual with important saves with Fernando Muslera. Stating that, providing such performance at difficult away game which is also being derby has led them to focus into controlling game and with good set mind and organising defence it did get a result which it wanted to. 

Coming to Besiktas, despite of loss of the game and not finding goal it could be stated that reaction after conceding wasnt too poor compare to previous game and how ironic it might sound team did show some improvement from previous games.However, what let for side not to getting that crucial goal has been both Fernando Muslera and lacking some lost touches.

Galatasaray hence has ended another week as leaders in such intense title race and would not focus to get 10 wins out of same amount for rest of the season for title.

Fenerbahce continues its strong title race with win against Hatayspor.

Fenerbahce has managed to get through another barrier in its intensive title race with Galatasaray as it has beaten Hatayspor with 2:0 scoreline with both goals coming during 1st half.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce has shown strong and attacking game from first minute of the game making clear that it would be playing for a win and with Hatayspor not being able to provide much pressure to opponent has led them to show dominant game. It could be noted that to performance of Dusko Tasic and Edin Dzeko as both had direct impact with assists did come in great time as it provided motivation and confidence which been lacked a bit in recent weeks just before Conference League game against Royale Union.Even through Fenerbahce did reduce tempo due of economising strength before that game, it did show some good performance in 1st half but it would need to do even more against Royal Union as Belgian side is being high-tempo which tend to find numerous chances per game.

Fenerbahce still got very important win against Hatayspor and did show that it would stay at title race until end of the season.

Trabzonspor will come out to Alanyaspor game with high confidence.

Trabzonspor would be aiming to carry on winning run in the game against Alanyaspor as it would be coming out with high motivation and confidence as some supporters could also return to home game.

As it is known, Trabzonspor for rest of the season has set an aim to win Turkish Cup and fight for 3rd spot and with currently this aims does look to be achievable, Trabzonspor would come out to game with high confidence and motivation as team supporters are slowly getting satisfied and happy with performance of the team. Hence, it could be noted that team would be coming out as favourite against unstable Alanyaspor.

It would be expected for Trabzonspor to show strong and aggressive game with looking for chances from the start of the game.
