What happened in Turkish football today? 05/05/2024



Galatasaray has got an easy win against in-form Sivasspor

Galatasaray has got a confident win against Sivasspor with 6:1 scoreline at the game which has been expected to be one of the toughest games during this season but with Mauro Icardi especially outstanding performance has made task much more easier.

Galatasaray did have slightly slow start as it did look into measuring of capacity of Sivasspor and analyse its strength but as game has developed Istanbul giant has rose its tempo and dominance of the game which has led for team to show believable and attacking game with finding great goals back-to-back from Hakim Ziyech, Mauro Icardi especially showing an outstanding performance. It also needs also to be mentioned that Mauro Icardi without doubt has shown one of his best games of the season as he has been involved at every goal with scoring 2 goals and also providing 4 assists. It also needs to be mentioned that Sivasspor has been especially poor on this day but it needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray didnt provide much more chances with its pressure and tempo of the game as team for sure made an important step for league title with all players showing top level game.

Sivasspor which didnt lose for last 5 games and with providing very strong and outstanding performance has been specifically poor for 90 minutes in this game as it didnt keep possession very successfully and couldnt respond to opponent tempo game as team head coach Bulent Uygun would need to figure out for such game of opponent.

Galatasaray did get very confident win at what was expected to be tough game and has got strong momentum as it rose point difference to 7 points with game in hand while only 3 games left for them. 

Trabzonspor are risking to lose 3rd spot.

Side which needed to win more during Black Sea derby game has got it, as Samsunspor has managed to get 3:1 scoreline against Trabzonspor which has focussed to make its 3rd spot more stronger. 

Unstable performance of Trabzonspor has been continued once again, as Trabzonspor didnt provide focus and fighting spirit in similar level as did Samsunspor which did provide organised and focussed performance for 90 munutes which let them to get a crucial win which could be key for them to stay at top league next season. Coming to Trabzonspor, it did come out to this game with 6 point advantage from Basaksehirspor which been reduced to 3 points and with 3 games left in this season this relaxation could cost them 3rd spot as team would come out to Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg game 8th May.

Trabzonspor as been noted continues showing unstable performance and this has been pretty visible during this game against Samsunspor as it could be running risk of losing 3rd spot in the table.  

Fenerbahce would need to be creative at attack.

Fenerbahce would be coming to crucial game against Konyaspor to keep its title chances alive as it would be playing game against team which is playing for survival and did change head coach in midweek.

Fenerbahce is reported to be highly motivated and concentrated for this game as it is still believes that it could be winning title as it should and hence it would be accepted to provide strong and attacking game against Konyaspor and very likely to look for an early goal to reduce stress as for Konyaspor without doubt 1 point would be very good result. Konyaspor quite understantably would very likely provide a defensive game so Feenrbahce would need to show patient and creative game at attack to find goals which it would need.

Fenerbahce are coming out as favourites but it would need to show creative attacking to overpass organised defensive game of opponent.
