Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[CLS63]

Beşiktaş could have really won the match anyway despite the red card they were given. I still think it was a controversial red card but this was the final decision.

If Černý or Jurásek were better at finishing in the few chances they found in the second half that could have been it for Beşiktaş. Other than that it was highly under control for Trabzonspor naturally.

They wasted really big chances after making it 3-3 too. Watching 6 goals was nice and Trabzonspor's losing points is a good opportunity for Fenerbahçe to take back 2nd place.

Galatasaray's victory in this match was very valuable. They had some fears due to their defeat against Kocaelispor, but they didn't allow any surprises. Their leadership is now confirmed. Trabzonspor has an important match against Beşiktaş. Now it's time to watch their other rivals.

That's the king of fight that I expect from any team that is serious about title race and I really love to see it. With only 1 loss so far this season, I was pretty sure Galatasaray would win yesterday and I was right because they did. Btw, Trabzonspor game ended in a draw. They were even lucky to make it out with one point because they were even losing to Besiktas and time was almost out.

[Balmain]

Beşiktaş started the match well again, it was a game they could have won by a large margin. Instead of winning, they dropped points. Trabzonspor's pressure after the red card and the equalizer in the final minutes were somewhat dramatic. It seems Beşiktaş hasn't had a single undramatic match this season. After the red card, Sergen Yalçın's entire plan fell apart. In the first half, three goals were scored through quick transitions and Rashica and Cerny's runs down the wings, without the red card, the score could have easily been maintained.

Galatasaray's victory against Antalyaspor is important and valuable because it has helped Galatasaray remain at the top of the Turkish league table. Even though Galatasaray was defeated by Kocaelispor, I don't believe they have some fears in defeating Antalyaspor because Victor Osimhen was available to play for them against Antalyaspor. Victor Osimhen found the back of the net against Antalyaspor and helped Galatasaray easily beat Antalyaspor.

The red card given to Bilal Toure was very wrong. You can't replay that position slowly and call it a violent act. If it was a violent act, Ozan wouldn't have gotten up.
I think it was a big mistake by the referee. VAR should have intervened here and he shouldn't have called a red card.
The match was high-quality, but if Beşiktaş hadn't been reduced to 10 men, they wouldn't have lost today.
Trabzonspor came back from 1-3 down and brought the score to 3-3. Trabzon's second shot also hit the post. I was surprised by how much Beşiktaş retreated.
You were down to 10 men, not 7. How can you play such weak football? Beşiktaş must do everything they can to bring Rafa Silva back to the team.

i agree with you. Red card shown to Bilal was the wrong decision. The same thing was done to Abraham. if Bilal was going to get a red card then the Trabzonspor player should have been sent off as well.
Aside from the red card, the referee didn’t really influence the game. but of course that single red card ended up affecting the entire match. without that red card, Beşiktaş could win Trabzonspor badly in their own stadium.

[Spack17]

What a match between Trabzonspor and Beşiktaş... 3-3 final score however it could have easily ended up with Beşiktaş' win if it weren't for a red card.

There are 2 incidents by them which might be red card and the referee gave it to one of them. But I think it was the wrong call. Orkun's challenge in the 5th minute should have been red instead of a yellow I think.

You have to consider the fact that bringing in foreign referees somehow undermines the league, people may beginning thinking that the football federation over there are some-what corrupt or incapable of officiating and handling matches.

This could be the reason why the TFF are not interested in making it mandatory for foreign referees to officiate in the Turkish league. The integrity of the league will be undermined and it standard berated amongst it equivalents in europe leagues.

But it's just the situation in this league. There has been corruption in Turkish football for so many years. I assure you it isn't the first time seeing this happen. This is why we want foreign referees but the federation doesn't care about it at all.

I also think the card shown to Bilal was the wrong decision, but the card shown to Orkun was wrong as well. Orkun’s action was more violent and should have been a red card in my opinion. I think Orkun should have been sent off. I don’t understand why Orkun behaves so irresponsibly, in every big match he puts himself at risk of getting a card like this.

Yes, I agree with both incidents. Although both were serious fouls, Bilal was tolerable in my opinion. It didn't have to be a straight red card, but Orkun foul was clear. It's strange that the referee didn't take decisive action. Could it be because the match was only a few minutes old?
But Besiktas should have won this match if their players had been more calm.

Galatasaray surely have the title in mind  this  season, they have so far been doing as much to making sure their chances is not reduced at any point, they have the fighting spirit that is giving  them the edge against every other team in the league in the race for the title  this season.  I am optimistic for Galatasaray winning the title this season.

When you say that Galatasaray didn't have anything to fear before their game against Antalyaspor since they had Victor Osimhen in the team, do you mean to say that without Victor Osimhen, the team's confidence isn't strong? If that's the reality, then something must urgently be done about it. Victor Osimhen without doubt has been the club's best player since the start of last season but it's time the club manager improves the team so well that they can play without Osimhen and still win games.
He'll be leaving the Galatasaray team to join the Nigeria national team ahead of upcoming African Cup Of Nations tournament and should Nigeria reach the competition's final, Osimhen will be out for up to a month which means they're likely to play without him for the next one month or more. A great win against Antalyaspor on Saturday to help them remain at the top of the league table, I hope they continue win games without Osimhen.

[LGD2Business]

All commentators and former referees say the red card was wrong. The referee didn't give the red card, but VAR intervened when it shouldn't have and misled the referee. The VAR referee's mistake must be penalized first and foremost. His wrong decision affected the entire course of the match and directly influenced the result.
The match referee's decision to continue play with a throw-in when the ball didn't go out of bounds is a clear rule violation. Therefore, the match referee should also be penalized. Djalo's unjust yellow card should be rescinded.
As we see every week, Turkish referees are making scandalous decisions that affect the outcome of matches. It's clear that this can't continue with these referees, the whole world is laughing at them. Until proper referees are trained, matches should be officiated by foreign referees.

[xzone]

Once again, refereeing errors prevented Beşiktaş from winning. If it weren't for the red card, the outcome of this match could have been very different. But once again, the disappointed side is the Beşiktaş fans; they deserved to win this match. It seems that Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are the lucky teams this week.

I think Fenerbahçe, who will play against Konyaspor tonight, will also get a comfortable victory. Thus, they will regain second place

It's very strange that in the Turkish league, in situations like this, VAR doesn't call the referee to review the play and make a better decision. Even the referee could have been more prudent and reviewed the play with VAR to show greater transparency and a credible decision, but he didn't do that, and once again it puts the referees in the Turkish league at the center of controversial decisions that have harmed the teams. Without a doubt, if it weren't for that red card, Beşiktaş would have won the game. They had already scored 3 goals by the 31st minute of the first half, but with the red card in the 38th minute, they declined.

The red card is another controversial decision. A yellow card would have been fair for that, stepping on the ankle from behind. I don't think El Bilal Toure intended to harm Ozan Tufan because the pressure on the leg was not strong. That red card totally destabilised the game and made Beşiktaş lose two important points. Notwithstanding the result, Beşiktaş have greatly improved from what I saw in that match. 

[snipie]

Beşiktaş could have really won the match anyway despite the red card they were given. I still think it was a controversial red card but this was the final decision.

Beşiktaş played well against Trabzonspor before the red card and dominated them. They resisted well also until the second half then they received two goals. I am pretty much sure Beşiktaş would win the game if they played with full squad. The red card was controversial and brought many discussion regarding it. Anyway the ranking wouldn't be changed with either result.

I think Fenerbahçe, who will play against Konyaspor tonight, will also get a comfortable victory. Thus, they will regain second place

I expect Fenerbahce to win this match too. Konyaspor is suffering from bad results and their defeat will make Fenerbahce second in the ranking again.

But Besiktas should have won this match if their players had been more calm.

There is a player at Beşiktaş called David Jurásek, and I’ve honestly never seen a player this bad in my life. In a position where they could have finished the match, he chose to shoot instead of passing and sent the ball wide. If he had passed to Abraham, it would have been a certain goal and they would have won the game.

Even Sergen Yalçın laughed after the position, because he knows very well how “talented” his player is.

The win itself wasn't the important one, they can win games, the important one was that they are doing much better in score, like they were beating the opponent 4-1 and that is what matters. Because they have been barely surviving for a while, for weeks they looked like not the team that started the season and because of all the injuries they had some issues. This week they looked like the team that started the season once more, which gives them morale I am sure and some confidence to win the league.

yeah Besiktas fans were complaining about Masuaku before. Because he was doing wrong things but at least he was not careless and he was running enough in the game. Now David doing none of these things. I really dont understand, he really look like he is just watching the game instead of getting involved in it.

Galatasaray has always dominated the Turkish league, so the expectation of good results from them is more than winning. Their form has not been going well for a while, especially in the Champions League matches. They are busy looking for wins in the Champions League and are struggling to avoid defeats. On the other hand, they are not finding good results in the Turkish league either. After winning the last match 4-1, they look a bit confident. They are still in a reliable place in the Champions League. They need to win the remaining two matches to secure the next round, otherwise they may face a difficult equation.
