What happened in Turkish football today? 25/04/2024

Trabzonspor got an minumum advantage scoreline for 2nd leg.

Trabzonspor has managed to get an advantage over Fatih Karagumruk with 3:2 scoreline which could be seen as small advantage but when taking account that it has played with one less man in 2nd half this could be seen as good outcome.

In fact, in interesting manner Trabzonspor did provide a better performance when Enes Destan did get needless red card and has created much more chances with preventing Fatih Karagumruk into feeling confident at the field. As it is known, Trabzonspor are taking Turkish Cup as it is main priority as it would be also fastest track to get to the European and this could be seen from performance as it did provided strong and confident performance but did have some issues at defence which could be seen from conceding 2 goals and also letting Fatih Karagumruk to create some chances. Trabzonspor still did look to be for most amount of time focussed into its own task.

It did get an advantage scoreline and when looking into attacking game similar performance could be enough for them to get to final but they would need to be more careful at defence at return leg.

Fatih Karagumruk did get scoreline to which it could hold on to.

Even through Fatih Karagumruk are aiming to stay at the league, it could be mentioned that this factor didnt have a negative impact for performance of the team as it did show some strong attitude on the field.

Fatih Karagumruk especially during 1st half did create some good chances and also found 2 goals and even through it did have some issues at defensive game it did show good organising game. Interestingly in negative factor which could be mentioned for them is that their lost that strong performance at defence after red card of opponent and couldnt provide right reaction and didnt find key for 4-4-1 formation of the opponent. Still, goal at 80th minute for them does keep chance pretty alive.

Fatih Karagumruk did get scoreline which it can hold on to for 2nd leg as it would be important for them to find an early goal and be more compact.

Galatasaray cant relax against Adana Demirspor

Galatasaray would be coming out to Adana Demirspor with an advantage of 4 points at the leadership as only 5 games has been left at the league but it would need to be mentioned that it would be playing against tough opponent.

Galatasaray would be coming out to the game with high morale which has been gathered following Fenerbahce losing 2 points and hence bringing Galatasaray step closer for winning title. This motivation and confidence could have positive impact for the team performance, but could also has some negative impact for concentration of the game. Hence, it would be important for Galatasaray to stay focussed as it would be playing good side which doesnt have good season but does have quality team which is capable to get surprising result and would be aiming to do so very likely.

Galatasaray are coming out as favourites but team cant afford to relax from point advantage it got over Fenerbahce.
