What happened in Turkish football today? 31/08/2025



Trabzonspor has lost its first points of season at Black Sea derby.

 

Samsunspor player Marius goal at the 90th minute has finished Trabzonspor 100% record as it has lost its first 2 points of the season at the Black Sea which did fulfill its all expectations which were given to game.

 

It needs to be mentioned that  Trabzonspor compare to 3 weeks games did actually provide more effective game as Samsunspor would been first team to actual test side capacity to fight for title, and as  game has went through it could be stated that Trabzonspor did become tired and went too much defensive towards end of the game which has led them to lose 2 points but when looking overall it could be mentioned that Trabzonspor did show some positive game with looking for number of the chances with Onuachu getting an important header and to some extend that loss of points did come after he was substituted. Taking account that Samsunspor is being at good form and being dangerous side it could be understood why team went defensive towards end but it could be more productive at attacks.

 

Samsunspor did show in the start of the season did show that it is being team which didn’t lose much from previous season at least and coould be showing some good performance in whole season as it did get that 1 point due of fighting spirit.

 

Despite of losing Trabzonspor losing its first points, it did actually improve compare to previous 3 weeks but it would need to work on to keep focus and providing strong and condident performance an area which is likely would focus in national team break.

 

Besiktas shows similar performance on field despite of change of coach.

 

Besiktas did come to some extend with new blood as it has appointed Sergen Yalcin in place of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the team has carried on showing similar ineffective performance once again especially during 1st half.

 

Besiktas did have some serious issues with getting into game as in similar manner as before Besiktas did show ineffective controllable game and has been slowly at the team which also let them for opponnent to get penalty. Following unsuccessful poor performance during 1st half, it actually did provide more effective performance in 2nd half with providing preessure to Alanyaspor goal with getting back-to-back chances but it couldn’t convert and with opponent successful counterattacks has managed to win game with 2:0 scoreline. Besiktas hence carries on having issues with creative aspect at the opponent goal and also converting its important chances which would be main issue for Sergen Yalcin during national team break.

 

Alanyaspor which did win its first league season, has managed to do with provoding patient game with aiming to show organised defensive game and also seeking for chances with counter-attacks and doing that it didi get without doubt an important for them.

 

Besiktas might be changing coach but it does look like performance-wise team continues to have similar issues and hence Sergen Yalcin would mainly focus to find solution to this in national team break.

 

Fenerbahce has showed great bounce back following sacking of Mourinho

 

Fenerbahce has got confident win against Genclerbirligi at away game with 3:1 scoreline at the 1st game after Jose Mourinho has been sacked as opponent didn’t provide much resistance to Istanbul giants especially during 1st half.

 

It has been among one of the most anticipated games following Jose Mourinho leaving team and after side has been relegated from Champions League after losing to Benfica at play-off round. It needs to be mentioned that with Zeki Murat Gole taking caretaking role at the position, Fenerbahce did come out with some drastic changes at 1st half with introducing also new players including Nene who did show some positive performance especially during 1st half where he provided strong pressure to opponent goal with creating some chances and also some good passes. Fenerbahce hence did get ahead with 3:0 scoreline without much issues and did reduce tempo in 2nd half during which it has conceded also goal. Stating that, it is hard specifically to state that Fenerbahce has shown specifically strong performance as Genclerbirligi didn’t provide much pressure and has made lots of simple mistakes at defence.

 

As been noted, Genclerbirligi has been pretty passive performance without being too much into game making lots of simple mistakes at defence during 1st half and does provide some worrying view as it yet to get point during this season.

 

Fenerbahce hence has regained confidence following being relegated from Champions League and also provided some good performance after Jose Mourinho being sacked from his position and does show that it could have reflex strongly after such period and also would enter to national team break with strong confidence.
