Draw in Istanbul: Fatih Karagümrük Hold Trabzonspor 0-0
The Turkish Süper Lig witnessed a goalless encounter on Matchday 10 as Fatih Karagümrük and Trabzonspor locked horns in Istanbul, resulting in a 0-0 deadlock.
Though the possession stats tilted in favor of Trabzonspor with 55.3% of the ball compared to Karagümrük's 44.7%, the visitors failed to make it count. Despite managing 14 shots during the game, Trabzonspor couldn't direct a single one on target. This marked the first time they've failed to get a shot on target since their match against İstanbul Başakşehir.
On the other hand, Fatih Karagümrük, although having fewer shots (8), managed to test the opposition's goalkeeper on 4 occasions, but couldn’t find the back of the net. It seems scoring has been a struggle for Karagümrük this season, as they've failed to find the net in 4 of their 10 fixtures. Only İstanbul Başakşehir and Alanyaspor, with 6 and 5 goalless games respectively, have had a more challenging time in front of goal.
The silver lining for both teams is their defensive resilience. Trabzonspor has kept the opposition at bay in 4 out of their 10 matches. Impressively, only Turkish giants Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, with 6 clean sheets each, have outperformed them in this department. Fatih Karagümrük shares a similar defensive record, also boasting 4 clean sheets from 10 games.
Post-match standings see Trabzonspor placed 5th on the league table, with a tally of 16 points from 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. Meanwhile, Fatih Karagümrük occupies the 11th spot, having secured 10 points through 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses.
