I really follow with concern where football is going in Turkey.
Today, in the last minutes of the Sivasspor Galatasaray match, Manaj attacked Barış Alper so hard that the referee gave a yellow card.
Let's say he didn't see it at that moment, but Var called, looked at the position and deemed the yellow card sufficient.
The position is a clear red card and I don't understand why the referee insisted on a yellow card.
Galatasaray finished the match with 10 men and won, but Barış Alper could have broken his foot in that position.
Get well soon.
Both Turkish football and Turkish refereeing are not going well. It is very interesting that they are this bad when there is support called "Now".

Galastataray was able to get an important win in an away game over Sivasspor. It looked as if they were going to lose the match after Rey Manaj's horror tackle that earned him a red card in the fifteenth minute. I thought they would struggle to atleast get a draw. But I was wrong, they kept on fighting until they got the three points. Victor Osimhen was able to score his tenth goal of the season after he netted a penalty he won. With Fenerbahce's loss the league leaders are now six points above.
It is not easy to win a match playing with 10 people, they were 10 people almost throughout the match. Galatasaray's game was not very good, but the important thing is to win the match, somehow they managed to win this match. It was very important for them to win the match, especially when Fenerbahçe lost points this week, but now the point gap has widened.
The importance of this point difference will become clear in the coming weeks. I think Galatasaray will be champion this season

Beşiktaş Fenerbahçe game was one of the most exciting games that I've seen in the recent years, after the goal. Beşiktaş played quite good considering the events that happened this season. Didn't played great but just played the how they should play to get points, the victory was a little bit surprise but Beşiktaş deserved it. Also, we see the coach, Serdar Topraktepe was better than Gio, IMO. Topraktepe just did what had to be done. It is an amazing win considering the circumstances.
There is no doubt this was one of the best game with Besiktas back into business, but they need to keep consistency which is the biggest problem for them in this first half of the season now they are at the fourth spot which is good and Fenerbahçe facing another troubling results which keeping them away from title race.Super sub Oxlade-Chamberlain came in 70th minute and score goal in 73rd minute which was vital for them both teams were balanced and have good control of ball, but today we have Besiktas looking better from last few weeks which give them good reward and confidence for the win now they can do better in coming weeks as well which will give them better results before it's too late.
First of all, the referee was still not good but he was good compared to other referees.
There were wrong decisions, fouls and cards that were not given.
It was a nice and enjoyable match.
Fenerbahçe players like to beat people and grab people by the throat.
Alexander Djiku should have been sent off 2-3 times but he only got 1 yellow card.
Someone should tell Mourinho that he cannot be a champion if he cannot win big matches.
Beşiktaş won the match despite its recent poor performance, we need to congratulate them.

Beşiktaş got a very important win. Before this match they had lost their coach Giovanni Van Bronchorst. The team was led by interim coach Serdar Toprak Tepe. They also forced the club presidents to resign. And Uduokhai and Paulista were absent due to injuries. Despite that, they managed to win. They are in a chaotic process. But they showed great team reflexes and they won this match. I can honestly say it was a surprise result for me.
Besiktas - Fenerbahce
I see this game as being a very important game for both teams. I say this for the following reason: Fenerbahce needs to win to not allow Galatasaray to fall further behind in the table, while Besiktas needs to win to break the losing streak they are having. If Besiktas wins it would please their fans a lot who at the beginning of the season had high expectations, while if Fenerbahce loses it could make Fenerbahce fans lose hope of seeing Fenerbahce win the title. I saw that Besiktas has the following injured players: Gabriel Paulista, Felix Uduokhai and Necip Uysal, while Fenerbahce has the following injured players: Caglar Soyuncu, Jayden Oosterwolde and Mert Hakan Yandas. As I like Fenerbahce, I'm rooting for Fenerbahce to win this game
In the end Besiktas managed to beat Fenerbahce with narrow score of 1 - 0 and in the match Besiktas actually played better even though Fenerbahce possession and game dominance were superior, with this defeat giving Galatasaray the opportunity to rise further in surpassing the points difference.I see this game as being a very important game for both teams.

For Galatasaray itself today will compete against Sivasspor, my prediction is that this is an easy match for Galatasaray to win and if they really succeed then the difference will be 6 points from Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahçe lost the Beşiktaş derby, in which it was the big favorite.
In the match, Dzeko could not score in 2 clear positions. Dzeko hit the ball well in one position, but Emirhan cleared the ball from the goal line at the last moment and prevented Fenerbahçe's goal.
Tadic aimed the ball at the post during the free kick and could not change the score.
In the 73rd minute, Chamberlain centered the ball well in the penalty area. Immobile could not touch the ball, but he misled Livakovic with his move and the ball went into the net.
In the last minutes, En Nessyri's header hit the post and could not make the score 1-1.
Gedson could not control his nerves and received a red card after the second yellow card, leaving his team with 10 men in the last minutes.
Fenerbahçe lost 1-0 in a match in which they could have been leading the match.
If Galatasaray wins the Sivasspor match tomorrow, the point difference will still be 6.

The first half of the derby game wasn't enjoyable but the second half was surely much better. Unfortunately the referee wasn't good with his many decisions. I remember some yellow cards weren't given to Fenerbahçe while there was a need. However I think the second yellow given to Gedson wasn't a bad decision. Because he prevented a counter attack and kicked the ball far away after the whistle. A yellow card is given to this normally as well. This is my opinion though.
In the end, congrats to Beşiktaş! Their win will surely be a good opportunity for Galatasaray too.

In this match, I think Beşiktaş had analyzed Fenerbahçe well and fought very well against them. Fenerbahçe had fewer attacks compared to other teams against Beşiktaş. Beşiktaş did not give them this opportunity. Although Dusan Tadic entered a significant position in the last minutes, the goalkeeper somehow saved the position. Although Beşiktaş scored a second goal in the remaining minutes, the goal was cancelled and the black and white team left the field with three points. I think Beşiktaş is one of the quality teams in the Turkish league and this victory is not a surprise. Mourinho lost the second derby he played in. Fenerbahçe fans are not used to losing derbies. Maybe this is one of the points that will criticize Mourinho.
Finally we saw a victory from Beşiktaş. They also won a very important and difficult match. I was very happy for Beşiktaş, they had a lot of problems this year and were going to fall behind in the rankings, but after this match, their motivation increased and the fans were happy.
This win was also very good for Galatasaray. They took one step forward and gained a big advantage in the leadership race

Beşiktaş was the favorite in the derby and won. The home team always has the advantage. The referees' help was not enough for Fenerbahçe. Loser Mourinho will run away with his compensation soon. Gedson got a red card for nothing. Muçi should have scored there. If Semih had taken a step back, his beautiful goal wouldn't have been wasted. I believed for weeks that Oxlade-Chamberlain would change the game, he needs to find a place in this team. Gio left without playing him at all but now Serdar Topraktepe is doing him justice by playing him in the right place at the right time. Beşiktaş deserves to be ranked higher. This win is a harbinger of a comeback.
Derbies are being lost, what will happen if Fenerbahçe continues to lose derbies like this, the Super League championship and such are over, it's a story.
Jose Mourinho showed what a perfect coach he is in the Galatasaray and Beşiktaş matches, I'm sure he couldn't have done better.
The team that played better, had more control over the game, got into more positions and shot more, won. Beşiktaş played better, there's nothing more to say.

The only exciting part of the match could really be that. Because in general I guess we can say it was a boring match.
Fenerbahçe didn't play the way I expected from them. We weren't good enough in offense. I can't say Beşiktaş were great either but they were still the one getting 3 points at the end. We had a huge opportunity to score in the last moments but it hit the post. We had an unlucky day with multiple shots hitting the post as well. Now Galatasaray have the chance to make the gap 6 points with us. 
I have to say its clear that Galatasaray got a big advantage here, definitely wasn't a big expectation from this game, I expected Fenerbahce to win this game easily, and the fact that they lost is a huge deal. Galatasaray had a mishap last week, and we played decent, we just failed to win, but this week, if we can beat Sivasspor tomorrow, that would be 6 points difference, which is a very very difficult thing to close that gap in Turkey considering we already lose very few games anyways. Lets see how tomorrow goes, this loss Fenerbahce got only means something for us if we can beat Sivas tomorrow, if we fail to win, then this means nothing at all.

Trabzonspor drew 2-2 with Kasımpaşa tonight.
Trabzonspor continues to lose points, the team is still bad.
They will play Galatasaray next week and I think they will lose points in this match as well. The team needs to get better as soon as possible but it doesn't look like they will get better.
Trabzonspor has been playing very badly for weeks. They lost points this week too, and the penalty they won wasn't a penalty. They saved a draw in a match they were going to lose. After becoming champions in the Turkish Football League, Trabzonspor's business hasn't been going well. They've also played very badly in Europe this year. They probably won't be able to qualify to go to Europe this year. Trabzonspor continues to disappoint. Their fans are about to raise the flag of rebellion. Trabzonspor continues to lose points, the team is still bad.
They will play Galatasaray next week and I think they will lose points in this match as well. The team needs to get better as soon as possible but it doesn't look like they will get better.
today's main match is, of course, the beşiktaş vs. fenerbahçe.
both teams have different reasons to win:
fenerbahçe needs to win to closely follow galatasaray and stay in the title race. for mourinho, a derby victory (after losing 3-1 to galatasaray at home) would increase the fans' trust in him. derbies are always important because they offer a chance to gain a big psychological advantage.
on the beşiktaş side, this season started with big dreams, but now we see those dreams fading one by one. they need to stop this bad streak and their inability to win. even a draw would relieve both the fans and the team.
my prediction is that fenerbahçe will win this match. i hope beşiktaş wins, but this is my guess.
Besiktas have amazing start of this season, but now they already lost their rhythm with things are completely out of control they have last won in Super League back in October now things are not favourable for them in today game which is going to start in few minutes we will be having Fenerbahçe in good touch because they are trying to narrow difference between them and Galatasaray which could be brought ore fierce end of this season.both teams have different reasons to win:

In early rounds, Besiktas was at the top and looking strong contender for title, but their worst performance now brings them on sixth spot with 10 points difference from second spotted Fenerbahçe which is currently best team in Super League due to their improved quality and consistency most chances we will be having another win for the visitors in this game.

Beşiktaş aren't in their best shape these days. They started the season strongly with their new stars like Rafa Silva and Immobile. But things have started to go upside down all of a sudden.
On the other hand, Fenerbahçe are doing really good recently. They won their last a few games and they are in a solid form. They are shown as the favourite side by bookmakers in this game too.
But in derbies we really can't predict the result easily. Beşiktaş have a good record against them home except the last season game. Who knows maybe they will win today.
