What happened in Turkish football today? 24/04/2024



Trabzonspor has got slight advantage against Fatih Karagumruk after semi-final 1st leg

Trabzonspor manages to beat 1st leg game at home ground against Fatih Karagumruk with 3:2 scoreline which could be seen as good scoreline as team has played with 10 men for whole of the 2nd half and to some extend did look better side.

With looking into form of both sides and also Trabzonspor taking this tournament as main priority for rest of the season, Trabzon side has been seen as favourite and it had provided in similar performance as it provided high tempo performance and did find an early goal with Edin Visca and after conceding goal from Fatih Karagumruk did get once again ahead with keeping its motivaiton. It needs to be stated that one of negative aspects of Trabzonspor without doubt has been pretty needless red card from Enis Destan as he didnt keep his nerve. However, its been pretty interesting to see that Trabzonspor in fact did raise tempo after being 10 men and did in fact find 3rd goal. Afterwards, it was quite natural for Trabzonspor to show more controllable game but did concede goal from Paoletti which still kept this tie open for both sides.

Fatih Karagumruk which are fighting to stay at the league, did provide actually full focus and did look to be pretty organised side in 1st half with finding great goal and ept showing some good game even when it did go behind. However, its been interesting and surprising to see that its performance slightly went down after red card of opponent player Enis Destan. Still, it did crucial goal with Paoletti at 80th minute and still ha chances to get to final game in Istanbul during 2nd leg.

Trabzonspor did get good win against Fatih Karagumruk with both sides showing positive kind of game with Trabzonspor using its chances more effectively but still it would not be able to relax during 2nd leg as Fatih Karagumruk will aim to use its chances.

 Besiktas did good scoreline against Ankaragucu when looking how it performed against them.

Besiktas did get an advantage scoreline during Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game against Ankaragucu but didnt provide good performance especially during 1st half following goalless draw game.

With Serdar Topraktepe being appointed at the team and also improvement of performance during game at the league against same opponent did provide some optimism but it needs to be stated that team did provide low tempo performance and didnt control ball during 1st half. When looking with performance of 2nd half, it did improve and balance game but still didnt an upper hand of the game. Besiktas especially did make some crucial mistakes at the defence as it allowed Ankaragucu more chances than would been expected while opponent didnt convert those chances. 

Still with 2nd leg game to be played in Istanbul and Besiktas aiming to win Turkish Cup it would be expected for them to show stronger and more attacking game during 2nd leg for sure.

Ankaragucu has only missed to find goal against Besiktas.

Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned did come to the game with an aim to win game and get advantage in this semi-final tie but did fail to convert chances with one goal being disallowed.

Even through Ankaragucu has especially dominated 1st half with creating some very important chances and also with having which been disallowed due of offside, it would need to be stated that it still didnt let Besiktas to get full control during 2nd half. Ankaragucu did show some good organisation, concentration to the game and it is clear team did learn some mistakes which it did during league game few days ago. Only thing which it needs to be solved for 2nd leg is to able to convert changes when it gets some if it wants to play Turkish Cup final.

Ankaragucu despite of draw does have chances to get to the final but playing an away game against such opponent it would be much more difficult game for them without doubt.
