What happened in Turkish football today? 26/05/2025

 Fenerbahce has lacked focus and motivation for game against Hatayspor

 

Fenerbahce did lose to already relegated side Hatayspor with 4:2 scoreline as mistakes from goalkeeper had a direct impact but also securing its 2^nd spot and demoralization had direct impact of this outcome.

 

Fenerbahce did come out to the game at difficult conditions and with issues which did happen during game including Mert Muldur did have direct impact at the final results while Hatayspor to some extend wasn’t huge surprise despite of opponent to be relegated as their got some positive results in recent weeks as they aim to end season at style. Fenerbahce did lack focus and concentration and also some changes from Mourinho did take place.

 

Fenerbahce hence are lacking concentration and motivation as it didn’t win title for another reason and certainly there is hardly anyone who would like to play against Konyaspor next week.

 

 

Besiktas has lost opportunity for 3rd spot.

 

 Besiktas did lose its opportunity to get to 3rd spot at the league which would lead team to get to Europa League play-off round after losing to Rizespor at home ground and needs some luck for next week.

 

 With Samsunspor drawing at parallel game against Trabzonspor, Besiktas didn’t provide too much strong performance against Rizespor especially towards end of the game but also Besiktas once again didn’t provide enough fighting spirit which has been expected from them. Team would need to go through why it did lose to team which did play for formaltiies while its been important game for them in sense of reducing qualifying journey to Europa League.

 

 Besiktas would be playing against relegated Bodrum next week but it would also awaiting Samsunspor to lose against Kayserispor.

 

 Trabzonspor did show some positivity despite of it being formality game.

 

 Trabzonspor did come out to formality game against Samsunspor which is focussed into ending season at 3rd spot as Trabzonspor did provide much more stronger game but Samsunspor willingness has helped them to get crucial point.

 

Trabzonspor despite coming out for formalities and lacking motivation did provide some good performance possibly due of playing last game and did turn game around from 0:1 to 2:1 at the end of the game within 2 minutes but also conceded goal themselves in last 2 minutes as that goal has been pretty simple and has been only negative aspect.

 

 Trabzonspor would complete season against Antalyaspor aiming to end season with win after such poor season.
