In the closing match of the week, we watched the struggle between Gaziantep and Rizespor.Rizespor, who played a good game despite being away, left this away game without points.Rizespor's 3-week winning streak was broken while losing with the goal scored by the opponent in the 4th minute of the match.
Fenerbahçe's loss of points to Beşiktaş caused the point difference with Galatasaray to widen.It is not yet clear who will be the champion in this race this season and I think a league in which the championship race will go until the last week is waiting for us.Since Fenerbahçe can no longer tolerate the loss of points, we may see tough decisions from the management in the coming weeks.

Definitely a good looking game from Galatasaray without a doubt. Got down to 10 man in 15th minute, and still managed to win the game after being 1-0 down. That's how you become the team with the most titles, playing offensive and a little bit crazy to be fair.
They had literally just one defender almost the whole game, which is unusual, doesn't mean other players didn't go back, of course they had players at defense, but none of them were defenders, just Davinson Sanchez, the others were midfield that helped with defense, that's insane when you are one man down and losing the game. Didn't take that long of course and they finished the half ahead anyways. This is definitely looking like the year they are going to have an easier title.
Matches like this define how your season is going to be and for sure I can say after fenabache result against besiktas, galataxary looks like the very favorite to win the league this season. You can be a man down and a goal down also and manage to turn the match around, it something only title winning teams can do. So far they still remain unbeaten in all competitions. To be honest I thought it was going to be their first lose of the season because I never thought they will be able to bounce back.They had literally just one defender almost the whole game, which is unusual, doesn't mean other players didn't go back, of course they had players at defense, but none of them were defenders, just Davinson Sanchez, the others were midfield that helped with defense, that's insane when you are one man down and losing the game.

Another thing I think I helping Galatasary this season is the bringing of Victor Osimehn, like when you have someone like Victor Osimehn in your team it like you have a man ahead of your opponent, the way he press the opponent defence, this physical contribution, his heading threat, and goal scoring ability will always leave the opponent unrest. So it was a good game all round and games like this boost your morale and make you believe more in yourself and your team mates too.

Galatasaray managed to win the away match despite being down to 10 men. It was a sad moment for Galatasaray when defender Metehan was sent off in the 15th minute. Sivasspor scored within 10 minutes after the opponent was down to 10 men and took the lead. After scoring in the 25th minute, Sivasspor conceded a goal 11 minutes later. Towards the end of the first half, which almost ended in a 1-1 draw, Osimhen scored from a penalty to put his team ahead. At the beginning of the second half, Galatasaray opened the gap with Baris Alper, but Galatasaray conceded a goal in the dying minutes and ended the match with a 3-2 victory.
It was a match where the referee of the match was not liked by both teams. Sivasspor player Rey Manaj, who clearly stepped on Barış Alper's foot, should have received a red card. He did not receive a red card and continued playing. It was a clear position against Galatasaray. Galatasaray managed to win the match but they could not win the match, this position would be talked about much more. He made a great tactic with ten men and managed to score three goals by playing the best game that could be played 
I was very satisfied with the way we won against Sivasspor. 
Honestly I didn't expect this to happen after Metehan Baltacı got that red card. It was a really unnecessary handball. Not being experienced caused him to leave his team with 10 players. But I'm so grateful for our players' high effort during the whole game. Yeah maybe Sivasspor goalkeeper was also bad but we showed a good performance.
By the way I can't believe how the referee didn't show a red card to Rey Manaj for that challenge. What should he have done more for that? Barış Alper Yılmaz could have got injured for even a more serious time period.

Serdal Adalı announced his candidacy for Beşiktaş presidency. He was the first president to officially announce his candidacy and he stood against Hüseyin Yücel. Let's see who will win the race. I really hope that the person who is in the best interests of Beşiktaş will become the president and take the club to the next level. We need to start a period where only successes are talked about.
Beşiktaş are in a big chaos. First they will choose their president. Then they will transfer a technical director. Then the technical director will create a transfer list. The new president will try to make transfers. I think this season is completely over for Beşiktaş. No one expects the new manager to make this team champions. The best option for Beşiktaş would be to prepare this team for next year. Maybe they can spend the second half of the season with players from the youth system.

With the way twitter was buzzing, I assumed Galatasaray got their first loss, but nope, they are still unbeaten and leading with six points. There was a shocking referee decision at the end of the game evidently, one of the galatasaray players got their foot stomped and the opposition only got a yellow card, even after VAR, which obviously would make anyone mad.
Good news is that they still won and they are doing fine, so I really do not think that we are going to see anything changing anytime soon, we will just end up with Galatasaray keep on winning. I hope that galatasaray player is better and did not break anything or not out for too long, looked bad, but saw that he was walking, I do hope for him to be doing good and feeling better.

In the struggle of the 2 flash teams of the season, the winner was the host Eyüpspor. Eyüpspor, who drew 2-2 away to Galatasaray last week, managed to defeat Samsunspor with the goals they found in the 2nd half.Eyüpspor scored 3 goals in 15 minutes, 2 of which came from Mame Thiam.
Başakşehir, on the other hand, managed to defeat Hatayspor, a team in the relegation zone, with the goals they scored in the 2nd half.Başakşehir played a dominant game against their opponent while Hatayspor could not do much.Başakşehir, who got 3 points with 3 goals, continued their goal of climbing up.

Galatasaray, despite playing part of the match with 10 men, maintained their superiority and left the field as the winner. In other words, the referees do not know how to manage a match properly, which is one of the biggest factors that decreases the quality of the league, wrong decisions were made in this match that would interfere with the course of the match.
How could the referee make a decision on the harsh intervention made yellow card to Barış Alper Yılmaz, and moreover, the referee goes to VAR.
Galatasaray scored 3 goals in this game and won the match by 1 goal because they were strong and their performance strengthened their record due to which the opposition team also scored 2 goals but they still lose in this match. I have seen in this league that the referee is not doing his job properly. What could be the reason for this and it does not happen in the Galatasaray match but in every match because the match is won by someone else and the win goes to someone else which makes the people and the team frustrated and they stop working hard. They should change this referee because giving him a warning will do nothing, replace him with another referee who will not drop the standard of the league which they have to maintain.

The fact that Galatasaray won the match even though they were down to ten men was a big surprise. A strong team will always win games, regardless of whether one man is down. After Baltaci was sent off early in the game, I thought I would lose my bet, but Galatasaray fought back and won with three goals. This season, Galatasaray is fighting for the league title. Their rival, Fernabach lost against Besiktas; Fernabach was unable to get a draw, and Galatasaray now leads by six points. In the Turkish league, Mourinho is probably not doing well this season.
The referee has already given Baltaci a yellow card, but I'm wondering what drives him to the var again to cancel the yellow and give Baltaci a straight red card. I believe this is the reason why some leagues are different from the Turkish league. If they had already made up their minds, the referee would not have responded to the var in other leagues. Galatasaray had a tough game, but they won. Throughout the game, ten yellow cards and one red card.
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.
Unfortunately, Galatasaray won and now I can say that it is the end for Fenerbahce, they no longer have a chance of winning the title this season.
It seems like the last two seasons when until December Fenerbahce was leading or had a very small difference in points, but when January came everything changed. Galatasaray started to lead until they became champions. Honestly, when Fenerbahce lost, I spent some time thinking: "this team is very unlucky and Mourinho will not achieve anything relevant with this team." Maybe he should leave this team this season because it will be useless to continue with it next season. Not even Jorge Jesus managed to win the title when he was Fenerbahce's coach, so I very much doubt that Mourinho and other coaches will be able to do it.

Galatasaray beat Sivasspor with 10 men and increased the point difference to 6 against their closest rival.
There is only one thing to talk about tonight and that is the referee. He only showed a yellow card for Rey Manaj's action against Barış Alper. VAR intervened but the referee did not change his decision.
TFF should definitely punish Rey Manaj and the referee.
Rey Manaj made an unsportsmanlike action, such players should be punished in the most severe way.

Despite being missing against Sivasspor, Galatasaray fought well and triumphed. It was a controversial match where the referee's mistakes got in the way of the game. Galatasaray organized the game well after being down to ten players and defended well against the opponent's attacks. Sivasspor were very poor in finishing and struggled to get the upper hand against their opponents. With this result, Galatasaray reopened the points difference in the race for the top and won an important victory in this race.
After Giovanni van Bronckhorst's departure, there were radical changes in the squad. Players who weren't used since the beginning of the season returned to the team. This helped expand the limited squad and strengthened Serdar Topraktepe's hand. Especially Chamberlain, Zaynutdinov and Salih weren't getting playing time and their return expanded the rotation. As a matter of fact, it was these players who won the Fenerbahçe match. I'm in favor of continuing with Serdar Topraktepe. The mistake of last season shouldn't be made, we cannot get results by constantly changing the manager.
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.
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".

The referee was ridiculous, especially in the last position. I don't understand how he can watch it on VAR and not show a red card. Beşiktaş also won yesterday despite the referee. If the win hadn't come, the referee would have been the talk of the world. The league will not progress this way. All teams are complaining, so the problem has to be addressed at the source. Turkish referees are constantly under the influence of something. There is a constant state of chaos. Something has to be done, whether it's foreign referees, foreign federation presidents, or how to manage the league in a more professional way. It cannot continue like this. Nobody is happy with the situation.
Fenerbahçe could not win in the Beşiktaş derby.Fenerbahçe did not play a very good game, losing by one goal away from home.It is now becoming clear what kind of a game Ismail Kartal played.He was a coach who worked wonders with almost the same squad.Jose Mourinho's derby record has been added another defeat.I hope Mourinho, who has 2 defeats in 2 derbies, will make Fenerbahçe champions this season.If not, he will upset many fans who trusted him.
I don't think there is any chance that Mourinho will make Fenebahçe champions. Of course, we are not even in the middle of the league yet, it's too early to talk about it, but I don't think so...
By the way, Mourinho doesn't realize how important derbies are in Turkiye. He once told the press that these matches have the same points as any other match... :)
