What happened in Turkish football today? 04/03/2024



Trabzonspor were not fully concentrated to Alanyaspor game

Trabzonspor has got pretty unexpected loss to Alanyaspor and did lose an opportunity to get point difference for 3rd spot against Besiktas at the game where it actually didnt provide too poorly performance but still lost to 3:1 scoreline.

It could be noted that it would unfair to state that Trabzonspor didnt play for a win as it did number of some good performance but there were some signs that players did lack concentration especially at defence as it could be seen with 2nd conceded goal as Trabzonspor player as Denswill wasnt aware at recieving pass which led for Oguz Aydin to shot at an empty goal. Still, Trabzonspor did create some good chances during 90 minutes but conceding simple goals and pretty organised performance of opponent let them to get such unexpected loss.

Alanyaspor meanwhile did provide one of its best performance during this season as it did come out with right mindset which it showed with willingness, concentration and tactical game and this win would likely provide motivational boost for upcoming games.

Trabzonspor did show some signs of losing concentration during game and it needs to regain it back for last 10 games if it wants to end season at 3rd spot.

Galatasaray got an important win against Besiktas at derby.

Galatasaray has got an important win against Besiktas at the derby game thanks to 2nd minute goal from Al Masuaku as he was unlucky at the corner kick but it is hard to state that league leaders has shown strong dominant game.

Even through Galatasaray didnt show very strong attacking game against Besiktas, it needs to be mentioned that it is being one of the best, even possibly best side to be managing to keep 1:0 scoreline as it did focus into organising defensive game and didnt allow Besiktas to get lots of chances even through there 2-3 chances when opponent could have scored a goal. When coming into mentality as we enter to last 10 weeks, winning game which is qualified as game between two big rivals, this win would provide some confidence and motivational boost for upcoming games but it needs to be aware that there is decline of performance with attackers including Mauro Icardi.

Still, Galatasaray did get very important win and would be looking at upcoming games in high confidence mood in such intense title race.

Besiktas did show good reaction but were unlucky with finding goal

Coming to Besiktas, it could be stated that all plans has been spoiled after it has conceded on 2nd minute even through performance wise reaction wasnt too bad.

It needs to be admitted that Besiktas did show one of the best performance during this season and has shown some good reaction and did raise attacking game in 2nd half but being unlucky with decisions of referee, not being able to pass Fernando Muslera and some last touches did have an effect for final outcome.

Still, this result would provide some confidence and motivation boost as team fights for 3rd spot for rest of the season.
