Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[MK-74]

Was it Beşiktaş who went down to 10 men in this match, or was it just me?
After Sánchez was sent off, Galatasaray started to play much more dominantly and found the goal quite comfortably.
Until Galatasaray scored, they were clearly the better side on the pitch.

Beşiktaş played a very timid game, as if they were the ones a man down.
They even tried to waste time; I really don’t understand what they were trying to achieve with that kind of football.

Despite being reduced to 10 men, Galatasaray still managed to earn a point. I think that’s an achievement.
Congratulations to them.

Beşiktaş squandered a huge opportunity. They were ahead on points, but their opponent was down a player. They couldn't pull off the victory, even though everything was in their hands.
After a poor start to the season, they could have come even closer to their opponents in points.
Cengiz, who entered the game late, found a crucial opportunity. He wanted to score and be the hero, so he shot the ball. If he had passed the ball to a more available player, we'd be talking about a Beşiktaş victory right now, but it wasn't to be. The match ended 1-1.

Beşiktaş played a timid game. Galatasaray scored a goal to draw 1-1. If Galatasaray had pushed for a win, they could have won.

After the score was 1-1, Rafa Silva fired the ball wide from an open position. Cengiz also shot when a more available player was available, that's all. Beşiktaş couldn't be productive.

If Galatasaray hadn't been down a man, they could have easily beaten Beşiktaş.
The red card significantly changed the course of the match.
Galatasaray earned a point.

The fatigue from the Liverpool match was evident in this match. If not for the international break, this match would have been played on Sunday. The Fenerbahçe match was also scheduled for Monday, but had to be played on Saturday due to the international break.

[Velvet78]

I also watched the derby curiously. I thought Galatasaray might really lose points this time and it happened. Because their recent performances in the league haven't been that impressive you know.

If Beşiktaş played a more attacking-oriented game after the red card, they could have absolutely won. But interestingly they didn't. Even Sergen Yalçın was angry with his players for not doing so. A really lucky draw for Galatasaray in the end...

Sergen Yalçın gifted Galatasaray the match in the second half. GS wisely let Beşiktaş have the ball in the second half. Since Beşiktaş had no plan, they sometimes held the ball in midfield for 30 seconds. They didn't even pass it, they just stood there. It's sad. The referee managed it relatively okay. But the Galatasaray fans are crying again. Their team has no position. They scored a free goal. 1-1 is an acceptable score for Galatasaray. Let's say the Liverpool match earlier in the week make it okay for them to have a draw. Here's how I see it: after a match like that against Liverpool, physical fatigue is compounded by a lack of motivation. It's not easy to bring the same motivation to the pitch for two matches in a row. Beşiktaş should have won against a 10 player team no matter what. This shows important things about the future of both teams.

[blomen]

my view on the derby is that beşiktaş let galatasaray slip away. after the goal they scored and davinson sánchez's red card, everyone expected beşiktaş to score another goal. but not only did they fail to score, galatasaray started playing better against beşiktaş after being reduced to 10 men.

after davinson sanchez was sent off, lemina came on in his place, and i think he was very successful in defense. he is definitely a top-level player physically. uğurcan çakır's saves also prevented beşiktaş from scoring.

Beşiktaş made a huge mistake in the game by not capitalizing on their advantage to score more goals when Galatasaray was finding it difficult after they were reduced to ten men, Beşiktaş was dominating the game and they were already leading by a goal but they couldn't score after having good opportunities so they should be blamed for not taking 3 points in the game because Galatasaray was already struggling and hoping not to conceded more goals they were more of defensive no one expected them to come back into the game but when Beşiktaş players became selfish with the ball instead of playing more team football to score more goals Galatasaray got that very opportunity and they scored to make it 1:1 despite being a player down, Beşiktaş would have been motivated to bounce back in good form if they had won the game but they gave the opportunity away and now Galatasaray remains unbeaten in the league.

Fenerbahçe will play against Samsunspor tonight. If they can win this match, they'll move ahead of Trabzonspor again. Samsunspor is a strong team and hasn't been playing badly this season. They drew with Trabzonspor and won their previous European match. The team is currently highly motivated, and they could take the lead with an early goal. Ederson will be injured in this match, which presents an opportunity for Samsunspor

[$weetne$$]

Osimhen was half fit and still played, tell me a potential threat in the squad against Liverpool than him. This guy gave all he could at the moment based on his fitness level, Osimhen is a long term project for Galatasaray not a player to over use in matches. Osimhen should be starting, if he doesn't then he will come in during the second half.

You are very correct, that Osimhen should be a long-term project for Galatasaray and not the type that should be stressed at all the time and the history of his injury also is another thing that may affect him and the team but he will definitely do better as soon as he gets full recovery and at any time he comes him he well definitely still do better only that he should not not be allowed to play full game completely, he should do some halves just like you have suggested that will help them a lot.

The way Galatasaray signed Victor Osimhen shows that they have plans to keep him for a long term in the team if he's willing to stay with them, Galatasaray is doing well in the league and they are also playing well in the champions League he won't mind to stay longer with Galatasaray unless they have issues in the future which I think will happen. Victor Osimhen has not had an injury that kept him out of season he will probably not have a long term injury cause that's what can affect his form and stop him from scoring goals.

I hope Osimhen doesn't have a long-term injury. He suffered an injury while on the national team, and we thought it was serious. Fortunately, he returned to the pitch early and continues to compete with Galatasaray. Osimhen is a serious asset for Galatasaray in the Champions League. Therefore, he needs to stay injury-free and be careful. Everyone knows the importance of the Champions League for Galatasaray. They want to finish among the top 24 teams, and they beat Liverpool in their last match. In the Turkish league, Galatasaray is the biggest contender for the title. In some matches, manager Icardi could replace him.

[LGD2Business]

Halil Umut Meler had resigned as a referee. Why did this incompetent, talentless guy come back? I guess the match-fixing money he received was too tempting.
Samsunspor's clean goal was disallowed for offside, but the line wasn't even drawn. It's obvious to the naked eye that the player was behind. It's a shame for Samsunspor. Fenerbahçe had no decent scoring opportunities in the first half. With both Ederson and İrfancan out, Fenerbahçe's goalkeeper is Tarık Çetin. They got him from Çaykur Rizespor. He probably wasn't expecting to get a chance in the league either. So far, he's had a smooth game. I expect a more lively match in the second half. This game won't end goalless. A draw doesn't benefit Fenerbahçe anyway.

I pray he doesn't go for long term injury too because Galatasaray will be affected in the champions League of they play without him in their upfront. I don't think there is a possibility of the player having a long term injury unless he wasn't treated properly in his last injury due to the game he has to play against Liverpool which they won and he was the goal scorer, the coach should know when to introduce him and remove him in some games for instance he should always be substituted when they are winning in some games so thqt he will be used more in the champions League.

Ederson will be injured in this match, which presents an opportunity for Samsunspor

Tarık made manager Tedesco proud in the first half, having taken precautions against Ederson and rested him in case he was injured. He made several crucial saves, and Fenerbahçe continued to play in a goalless draw at halftime. Samsunspor is desperate for a win in front of their home crowd. Fenerbahçe dropped points to them last year, and this year, Samsunspor is playing very well and have shown us they have the potential to beat them. I expect a goal in the second half.

[Wake Up]

Fenerbahçe should feel lucky if they can get a point from this match. Statistically speaking, Fenerbahçe is practically out of the picture. It's unthinkable for a team vying for the title to have such a poor performance. Look at Galatasaray, who despite receiving a red card against a team like Beşiktaş, managed to equalize and earn a point from a difficult match. Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, can't even attack. Samsunspor plays like Real Madrid against Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe fans watching this match right now must be praying for a draw.

[blomen]

normally, in this league, with this point situation, in a scenario where galatasaray drew the derby and fell two points behind, fenerbahçe should have easily beaten samsunspor.

but put that aside; with the score at 0-0 and the clock at 90 minutes, we were witnessing significant pressure from samsunspor. the game fenerbahçe played was truly disheartening. with this level of play, achieving success in either the super league or europe is impossible.

[yenerbatmaz]

I still haven't figured out what kind of manager Tedesco is. He made three substitutions at the start of the second half. Twenty minutes later, he made two more.

He used all five in the 67th minute.

What would have happened if there had been an injury after that? What kind of manager is this for a big team? Didn't anyone warn him?

As for the match itself, Fenerbahçe earned a point. As far as I could see, only Asensio took a free kick, and I didn't see Samsun goalkeeper Okan in the match.

There's now a two-week international break, and I hope Tedesco gets to know the team better and plays better football in the meantime.
Fenerbahçe played a disgraceful match. Samsunspor dropped two points today.

[mandown]

Fenerbahçe continues to play poor football. Thursday's victory in Nice fooled many, including me.
Fenerbahçe had no chance today.
Samsunspor scored, but the goal was disallowed for offside by VAR.
Fenerbahçe will never win the championship with this style of football. You can't play football without taking risks. Apart from Skriniar, no other player stood out today. He also received a yellow card and was suspended.

Nene came on in the second half, but I don't know what he played. Semedo, Skriniar, and goalkeeper Tarık are the most memorable players from today's match.

Fenerbahçe's players can't pass the ball properly. They look like they're just getting to know each other.

Fenerbahçe will never win the championship with this football mentality and mentality.

[Balmain]

All the big teams drew this week. Galatasaray and Beşiktaş drew 1-1 last night, and Galatasaray fought hard with 10 men in that match. Fenerbahçe was stumped by Samsunspor today and dropped points again. Fenerbahçe has had too many draws. Winning the championship will be a dream for Fenerbahçe if they continue to drop points this week. Even though Fenerbahçe changed managers, there hasn't been much change in their matches under their new manager.

Fenerbahçe will never win the championship with this football mentality and mentality.

I miss the good old days when Besiktas and Fenerbahce dominated the Turkish league. That was many years ago when I had just started gambling. I know this because both teams used to be on my bet slips and they deliver almost all the time. These days, I seldom add Fenerbahce to my bet slips not to talk of Besiktas. Galatasaray has been the only team in the league that have had commendable form and performance in the last 2 years and it's not even close.

I thought Mourinho could revive Fenerbahce but I was wrong. Very disappointing to watch them too.
