Galatasaray lost points away from home for the first time this season. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
There is a lot to write about in the match. First, we can go to the 32nd minute.
At this minute, I think Kilama clearly played the ball with his hands in the penalty area. The VAR referee in this match was a foreign referee from Belgium.
Let’s say the referee didn’t see it. Since the referee couldn’t see it, didn’t VAR have a clear image and didn’t call the referee to the monitor?
People ask, “Is the league being manipulated with this clear penalty not given?” People are skeptical enough.
Frankly, this mistake makes people think about this. It is impossible for people to understand what is happening.
No matter what is done, there is doubt and there is no solution to it.
As for the match. It is certain that the first half of the match did not provide enough pleasure and excitement to the viewers.
The first half was at a low tempo and relatively dominated by Galatasaray.
Now, this week Berken Kutlu was in the squad instead of Kerem Demirbay, who played in Sara’s place last week, or rather could not play.
However, Galatasaray is looking for Gabriel Sara very much. Berkan Kutlu lost against Hatayspor.
At the beginning of the match, he came forward for a position or two and played with his friends, but that was all.
There were moments when this did not continue and it was not clear whether Berkan was in the game or not.
For example, in one action in the 41st minute, while he was wandering idly in the second zone, the player from Hatay was carrying the ball forward, 15-20 meters away.
In other words, Galatasaray, who could not hold the ball in the midfield in the first half due to Berkan’s bad football, also scored a goal.
Even though the game was leaning towards Galatasaray, Hatayspor scored after a few weak attacks.
One of those who started well was Yunus. The 9, 15 and 44 I caught took the initiative and organized an attack.
But it can be said that he was not on the field between 15-44.
Low tempo, Berkan’s bad football, a penalty not awarded in the 32nd minute that is inexplicable and raises all kinds of doubts tell the story of the first half.
It was a completely different Galatasaray in the second half.
Look, Galatasaray is not a very high-tempo team.
Players like Mertens and Sara are not very fast players.
However, Galatasaray, who made a great tempo against Hatay when they were in a tight situation, played good football despite the high tempo.
-The thing that stood out in this period was the goal that Barış Alper Yılmaz could not score.
I can’t count how many positions he missed with the ball.
But these missed goals denied Galatasaray a victory.
For example, in 61 Barış did not see the empty Kerem Demirbay. He wasted the position with a meaningless shot.
But in the 52nd minute, Barış gave a very good pass to Mertens. This time, Mertens could not end the attack with a goal with a shot.
In the 65th minute, Barış missed a position that would have made him throw away.
There was also a player in this half who showed how to play football at such a high tempo. And that was Victor Osimhen.
Apart from his ability to play in narrow areas, he made passes that initiated attacks and made organizations in many actions.
Osimhen’s important football skills emerged in this high tempo.
But his effort was not enough. Even he aimed his header at the goalkeeper in one position in the 65th minute.
There is a shot that Barış did not take in the 81st minute. Now we need a shot. But Barış made a choice mistake and passed the ball to Yunus.
Since Yunus could not take a position, the ball fell behind him.
In 79 Barış made a great carelessness. He was offside with the tip of his foot.
Shouldn’t a professional football player avoid being offside in this position?
All these mistakes increased Hatay’s resistance in the last moments. After 75-80, Hatayspor even slowed down the tempo to its advantage.
In the last ten minutes, the ball was in this goal and in that goal.
At 90+3, Kerem Demirbay lost the ball to his opponent from Hatay in the first zone. The attack resulted in a corner.
Look, you are now in a competitive championship race and there are a few minutes left in the match.
What are you doing by losing the ball at your feet? Is such carelessness possible?
Look, this loss of points is important. If Fenerbahçe wins, the point difference will decrease. Moreover, Fenerbahçe against Konya appeared to be playing with a tidy philosophy.
If Fenerbahçe’s rise and this loss of points go together, the league may take a different turn.
Let’s watch and see.
