If Galatasaray continue their performance like this, they will be the champions of this season. Luck is always with Galatasaray.
It's quite expected for a team like Trabzonspor to want to creat an upset against a big side like Galatasaray. We often see such occurrences in football where smaller teams tends to upset the bigger opponents so it wasn't surprising to me seeing trabzonspor do the same to Galatasaray, rather what was more surprising for me was Galatasaray's response to the threats of trabzonspor at the last moments of the game because I thought Galatasaray had already settled for a draw until they got that late goal that earned them all 3 points of the game, for me, that was the most impressive performance from Galatasaray since the season began.

We can say that the Adana Demirspor-Beşiktaş match has once again gone down in history.
Years ago, Beşiktaş scored exactly 10 goals against Adana Demirspor at İnönü Stadium and it went down in history as the match that ended with the biggest difference in the league history.
This year, Adana Demirspor, which did not have a single win and had 2 draws until the 15th week of the league, sent Beşiktaş, who defeated Fenerbahçe, the championship candidate, empty-handed from Adana and this also went down in history.
Adana Demirspor can defeat Beşiktaş, this is normal, but when it is this bad, when the players are not motivated because they cannot get paid, defeating Beşiktaş is a historical event and a black mark for Beşiktaş.

Again, in a typical way, we watched a referee not showing red cards to Galatasaray players in the Trabzonspor match. Every game, guys kick and slap the opponents and don't even get a card, and then they say they are good defenders. It really is a joke league, they don't call it a circus for nothing. 
Şenol Güneş made his team play brave and tried to win but in the end they lost. I think it was a risk that could have been taken, trying to win rather than playing for a draw is the way to go. At the end of the day, if you win one in two games instead of two draws, you will have more points in total.
This is what mourinho has often protested and he continues to say that they are not only fighting a rival team, but the referee decision that is detrimental to his team is a serious opponent they face in superlig, in my opinion inconsistent referee decisions will greatly interfere and damage the integrity and excitement of a match, like what happened in the Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor match, I saw many referee decisions that actually favoured Galatasaray in that match, including when Galatasaray got a penalty when the referee considered Malheiro to commit a foul on Dries Martens in the penalty box, although if we look at the footage of the match it appears that Dries Martens actually came and tried to knock himself into Malheiro body. Şenol Güneş made his team play brave and tried to win but in the end they lost. I think it was a risk that could have been taken, trying to win rather than playing for a draw is the way to go. At the end of the day, if you win one in two games instead of two draws, you will have more points in total.In my opinion, if the Turkish league authorities do not immediately improve their system including refereeing leadership then the superlig will be difficult to develop in the future.

If what Jose Mourinho said about Fenerbahçe playing against the system is true, then it is indeed deeply unjust. It raises serious questions about the fairness and intergrity of the Turkish Super League. Football is supposed to be a game where talent, strategy and hardwork determine the outcome, not external factors or biased officiating. Transpiracy in officiating is crucial and systems like VAR should be used effectively to minimize errors and ensure fairness.
Watch Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray's matches, you will see that both teams are given wrong decisions. What I mean is that these decisions are positive for Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray.
If both teams do not want Turkish referees, why do they not insist on foreign referees? Because they do not want them.
Galatasaray are the top scorer team in the Super League right now with a 2.80 goal average per game (42 goals in 15 games). That's really impressive statistics honestly.
However they have a huge vulnerability at the same time, their defense.
Recently they are conceding too many goals in all tournaments combined. Like the Trabzonspor game example.
This mainly because of not having proper backs most of the time on both sides. This pushes Okan Buruk to prefer a formation with 3 defenders. However this also makes their defense weak. Let's see whether they find a solution to that.

Definitely was a big nail biter. No matter how low they get, Trabzonspor is always a difficult game and they played a very attacking game against us, which isn't something we are that much used to since we play against smaller clubs who defend against us more than they attack, so this was definitely a different situation and we weren't that much ready. With a few mistakes, we were looking quite bad and losing, however eventually we managed to pull it back off and got the win. I mean Galatasaray could win the league this season again, we are that good, but at the same time, we need to look at our defense and goalkeeper already. Whenever Sanchez doesn't play, we end up with bad results on defense, and Muslera used to be great, he is probably the greatest goalkeeper to play in all of leagues history, but not anymore, he has to leave, he is putting our season at risk, I honestly would consider moving Gunay to goal at this point.
I want to start by thanking both teams. The time of possession and the tempo of the game was high. Regardless of the result, I can say that we watched a good match. I would have said the same thing if Trabzonspor had won the match. Also, the referee of the match showed a good performance. He made a few mistakes in the first half. But he made the right decisions throughout the match. Also, I liked the performances of Abdülkerim, Mertens, Yunus and Sara in this match. They had important roles in Galatasaray's victory. By winning this match, we took the psychological advantage in the league. There are easier matches in the fixture for us now.
The referee played a good role in this match, just like you said, he made some few mistakes in the first half but he was better in the second half. He coordinated the match very well and make sure the game was played at it best. I think the Turkish league referees have improved this season not just in this match but overall this season, they are doing better now and it a good thing.

Jose Mourinho is known to be a critic of the referee or the system of he is not having his way. I am sure he wouldn't have spoken against the Turkish League management if Fenerbahce was at the top of the table. However, I have observed that the Turkish League has one of the worst officiating in the top leagues of Europe. There seems to be inconsistency in decisions and sometimes slight neglect of established football rules. The Special One should know that the Turkish League is not as advanced as the ones he has been, it is still developing. He should focus on his task to bring the best out of his players. 
I think what mourinho said before about the Turkish football system tends to indicate that fenerbache is currently not only against the teams in the superlig, but it seems that the system especially the referee leadership is often their opponent, And that's why I think Mourinho may not last long at Fenerbache, indeed Galatasaray currently has a stronger squad and has shown better performance than Fenerbache, but if we think realistically in assessing a match of course we must be honest if Fenerbache is often disadvantaged by referees this season.

We watched an exciting and enjoyable match last night. Galatasaray got 3 points with the goal they scored in extra time.
Mertens played very well, Yunus Akgün scored a great goal and made a great assist.
Abdülkerim made critical mistakes but made up for it in the last minute.
Trabzonspor played well but could not win the match.
There were many referee mistakes again and there will continue to be many.
I was worried and expected draw in the match, but in the end Galatasaray was lucky and was able to get 1 goal in the final minutes of extra time and that made everyone cheer.Mertens played very well, Yunus Akgün scored a great goal and made a great assist.

On the other hand, I was quite impressed with Trabzonspor who were able to match Galatasaray, they even got 3 goal and made Galatasaray experience some difficulties, this was good match for this week and Galatasaray victory kept them still 6 points ahead of Fenerbahce.
Regarding the controversy over the referee decision, it was quite unfortunate, this kind of thing always happens and we often encounter it in Turkish football.
Trabzonspor is performing poorly in the league this season and is very close to the relegation zone. However, the Galatasaray match was a match where Trabzonspor discovered their talents.

If Galatasaray continue their performance like this, they will be the champions of this season. Luck is always with Galatasaray.
This could be the best match Trabzonspor played this season. They were very good, all their players played really well.
They are bad this year but I am sure they will be good.
They have many missing players in their squad, their bench is bad, when they take a player out they can't put good players in.
They made us watch a very nice and enjoyable match.

Trabzonspor played a real football game against Galatasaray, I haven't seen Trabzonspor like this in a long time last night. They played to win the match and to recover for their next match. Although Galatasaray didn't have their two best forwards and had some deficiencies, it was very important for Galatasaray to win the match while Trabzonspor wanted the match so much. It was a quality and enjoyable match, matches with lots of goals are usually like that, and teams are eager.

Trabzonspor are really in a big crisis this season. They won only 3 times after we left 15 weeks behind in the Turkish league. They are really interesting by having positive goal difference despite being near the relegation zone as well. I think that this team have more potential but there is something wrong we can't see. Maybe it is because of managerial problems with the chairman or something else. I still don't think they will relegate this season.

Abdülkerim made a critical mistake in Trabzonspor's second goal, but he forgave all his mistakes by removing Draguş' ball that went for the goal in extra time. I think the match went very well. It was a very eventful match. Galatasaray and Trabzonspor both teams fought very well. Galatasaray was the winner. Mertens played very well, Yunus Akgün scored a great goal and made a great assist.
