What happened in Turkish football today? 02/04/2024



Galatasaray got a win against Hatayspor despite of not showing strong performance.

Galatasaray has got crucial win against Hatayspor thanks to the single goal which did come from Mauro Icardi at 12th minute at the game which it did struggle to get full control of the game and did give lots of chances to opponent.

With some factors which does happen behind back with its main title rivals with Fenerbahce, it was interesting how would Galatasaray be affected and it needs to be mentioned that team did have good start with creating lots of chances and did have some chances in first minutes which led for great goal from Mauro Icardi who has been at right spot at right place. It needs to be mentioned that after that position rather then getting control of the game, it did went quite opposite as Hatayspor became more confident as time went by and did create some very good chances but didnt find goal due of last passes and touches and also one goal has been disallowed due of offside. Therefore, it could be noted that Galatasaray has been far from its dominant performance which it shown in some weeks prior to international team break. Still, it could be mentioned that team did win due of winning habit it got in recent weeks.

Hatayspor on their part did provide strong and confident game at the field with getting some confidence as time went on and did show some good reaction but it did lack last touches in many chances both with shots and passes, an area which it needs to focus on for last 7 weeks game.

Galatasaray carries on winning at the league with 7 weeks left in the season even if it doesnt provide good performance and this win would provide confidence for upcoming weeks without doubt.

It is still unclear if Fenerbahce will come out against Adana Demirspor.

Scheduled Super League 31st week game between Fenerbahce and Adana Demirspor has been overshadowed with aftermath of Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce which led for Fenerbahce calls to not compete league at top league and it is questionable if game to be taking place.

With general administrative meeting not making decision while this article has been written it is still unclear what reaction would Fenerbahce will be making when coming out to Adana Demirspor as it still put on sale its tickets for this game. It also needs to be mentioned that with Fenerbahce going through such interesting and historical period, there is possibility that players might not be showing enough focus for this game and this could have an impact with its performance if game to be played as many players in the field are uncertain if their would be playing due of possible fines and bans which some players migth get from PFDK and also possible decision from Fenerbahce administration.

With game not being clear if it would be played or not, all focus are been given into reaction and activity which Fenerbahce would make in upcoming days.

Trabzonspor aims to resume league at positive note against Konyaspor.

Trabzonspor would be returning to Super League after long break due of international team break and Turkish local elections, as it would be playing against unstable Konyaspor as team does aim to fight for 4th spot in the league.

Trabzonspor as been noted also did provide some unstable performance even through it did have some raise of performance when entering to this long-term break and possibly did work into its weaknesses which it did show in recent weeks and hence would be highly motivated and concentrated for Konyaspor. Even through events which took place at Trabzonspor could have some negative impact into consideration for Trabzonspor players, their still likely has been provided some focus. Therefore, it could be noted that team did come out as favourite for the game but Konyaspor capable to get also surprising result.

Trabzonspor would be coming as favourite for the game but would need to give all attention as Konyaspor will be aiming to get win against unstable opponent.
