After the 12th round of the Turkish Super League, there haven't been any significant changes in the top scorers' standings, but the match is getting increasingly intense. In the first match of the round, "Genchlerbirliği" and "Istanbul Bashakshehir" faced each other. In a fiercely competitive match, Uzbekistan's Eldor Shomurodov scored another goal, adding another to his personal tally. However, his team suffered a defeat of 1:2.
Despite this, Eldor's performance is highly praised by fans and experts. His stable form forms Bashakshehir's main hope. Although the team is facing difficulties in the fight for top spots in the championship, Shomurodov's position among the top scorers is a source of great pride for the fans.
According to reports, Bashakshehir is currently one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Super League. Despite this, Eldor scored 8 of his team's 13 goals, proving himself a true leader.
Shomurodov has extended his goal-scoring streak by scoring every goal in the last three rounds. This result led her to first place in the championship top scorer race with eight goals. However, his leadership didn't last long - Trabzonspor forward, English Southampton trainee Paul Onuachu also scored against Alanyaspor, extending his lead to eight. Thus, in the top scorers' match, the two leaders are showing the same result.
Of Eldor's 8 goals, 7 were scored during the game, and one was from a penalty, while Onuachu used two penalty kicks. In this regard, Eldor's performance is highly regarded as a clean game.
It has become clear that the Golden Boot race in the Turkish Super League is primarily between these two forwards. At the same time, the opponents following them are also strong - among the stars who scored 6 goals each are Galatasaray forward Mauro Icardi, former Sevilla striker Youssouf En-Nesyri, and local Konyaspor striker Umut Nayir.
The remaining scorers couldn't add to their scores this week. However, several players with 5 goals - Rafa Silva from "Beshiktosh," Talisca from "Fenerbahçe," and Carlo Holse from "Samsunspor" - will have the opportunity to approach the leaders in the next round.
As a reminder, Eldor Shomurodov moved from Roma to Istanbul Bashakshehir on loan at the beginning of the season. He has previously scored goals for Beşiktaş, Alanyaspor, Konyaşpor, Galatasaray, Kocaelispor, Gençlerbirliği, and Antalyaspor.
Now all eyes are fixed on the Istanbul Bashakshehir vs. Trabzonspor match, which will take place on November 23rd. This match is of great interest not only for the teams but also as a clash between two leaders of the top scorer race - Eldor Shomurodov and Paul Onuachu.
The victory and goal in this match will determine not only the points, but also the further direction of the fight for the "Golden Boot" in the Turkish Super League.
