Trabzonspor, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray Win in the Süper Lig

Trabzonspor beat Corendon Alanyaspor 2-0 away from home. The claret-and-blues were victorious thanks to first-half goals from Pina and Salah. Since Thomas Reis took charge of the team, they have won all 6 of their league matches. The club raised its points total to 27 and goes into the international break 3 points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Fenerbahçe thrashed Çorumspor away from home in the first match under their new head coach, Emre Belözoğlu. Greenwood and İrfan Can Kahveci scored in the first half. In the second half, İrfan Can Kahveci and Greenwood extended the lead again, and Oğuz Aydın scored the last goal.

Beşiktaş won 3 points against Gençlerbirliği without much trouble. The black-and-whites started quickly and took the lead through Dusan Vlahovic's goal, set up by a pass from Leandro Trossard. Two minutes later, Gençlerbirliği's Metehan Baltacı was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, leaving his team with 10 men. In the final moments of the first half, Vlahovic stood out once again. With this win, Beşiktaş reached 22 points and moved up to 4th place.

Galatasaray opened up their lead at the top of the table by beating Amed in Week 11 of the Süper Lig. They have won all 6 official matches played since the Barcelona game. The yellow-and-reds extended their unbeaten home run to 41 matches and recorded their 5th consecutive league win. Having collected 28 points from 11 matches this season, the club has also had three seasons in league history in which it earned more points by Week 11. All three came under Okan Buruk's management.

Behind the pitch problems at Galatasaray, it emerged that the planning was flawed. Maintenance that should have been carried out in May was moved to mid-season. Before the Barcelona match, the pitch was in good condition, but despite warnings from the Portuguese turf specialist, it was sanded early. The decision sparked debate.
