What happened in Turkish football today? 11/05/2018


Basaksehirspor has kept its chances for league title alive as it would meet against Kasimpasa last week. 

Basaksehirspor has managed to win penultimate game at the Super League against Antalyaspor with 2:0 scoreline and has kept its title chances alive as it has made 69 points and has got same points as Galatasaray as their opponents would be meeting against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Even through Basaksehirspor has won such a crucial game against team which did come out at focussing for draw, it would be hard to state that their have shown very good performance as it wasnt able to get high tempo at the game. Absences of such player such as Arda Turan and Mossoro without doubt has affected into performance of the team in psychological manner. As been stated also, Basaksehirspor would be entering to last week game against Kasimpasa with having realistic even through tough chance to get league title. However, team didnt provide such a performance during today and has provided a look at best of team which is in the middle of the table. Stating that Antalyaspor has been much more effective team but due of bit unlucky performance and also good performance of Volkan Babacan. If Basaksehirspor wants to win league title and to fight for this as it is unclear what would happen with opponents during this week and also last week when games very likely would be playing at the same time. Here it is important that Basaksehirspor would get an opportunity for league title and will not like to lose this opportunity against Kasimpasa with their lack of performance.

Antalyaspor has come to the game where it needed to get just 1 point to make sure that it would be able to stay at the Super League and it has started game with such a focus as it has provided high number of the chances. Still team has strong advantage to not get relegated where it would be seeking at least for 1 point against Alanyaspor.

Basaksehirspor has got a crucial win against Antalyaspor and has kept their chance for league still possible as it would be waiting for Galatasaray to lose points in next 2 games.

Akhisarspor has marked history by winning Turkish Cup.

Akhisarspor has marked history as it has won its 1st Turkish Cup title by winning Fenerbahce during final game with 3:2 with providing very strong tactical game against opponents and being aware that their strength are below.

It also needs to be stated that Akhisarspor has become only team to beat Fenerbahce during this season as it has won all of the 3 games and possibly has led team to lose both Turkish Cup and Super League during this season. Despite of not start game in good manner and allowing Fenerbahce to control game, it has managed around midway of 1st half to provide much more organisational football. Even through Akhisarspor didnt have high possession and chances as would been expected prior to game, it has used to the max when it had control of the ball which has led them to find 3 goals. This win and also Turkish Cup title in overall has been won by an effective tactical strategy by Akhisarspor head coach Okan Buruk who has figured out how to beat Fenerbahce 3 times and without doubt has deserved this cup. Even more importantly with winning Turkish Cup, team has got right to participate at Europa League proper which would also provide an incredible experience both to the players and also fans. With taking account that there is risk that team would be relegated its means that it would represent team which is not at top division. It has also gained in total of 8.5 million euro cash coming from 1.5 million for winning competition and also 7 million from UEFA for taking place at Europa League. It is important to spend this cash wisely during summer transfer window to be ready for Europa League.

Without doubt Akhisarspor has marked history and has won Turkish Cup in well-deserved manner with providing smart tactical and strategic game.

Fenerbahce should use its performance against Akhisarspor as reference point in the end of the season.

Meanwhile and among losing to Akhisarspor during Turkish Cup final and hence become runners-up of the tournament, what is most crucial here is that Fenerbahce has lost to its opponents 3 times in this season with 2 games ending with 3:2 scoreline.

It does need to be stated that Fenerbahce in fact did start game in good manner with showing an effective and attacking football which could be also referred as best start of the team. It has done good performance with controlling ball from start to end but it has lacked once again good performance at the defensive side. Akhisarspor has used their chances in good manner and has managed to convert chances into high amount which was once again opening question  of  performance of the defenders who are as known has been heavily criticised during this season. To some extend, Fenerbahce head coach Aykut Kocaman when would go through team's performance during this season, regardless how it ends Super League should use 3 games against Akhisarspor as main reference point as reasons why team has lost to them would also identify key issues of the team during whole season. There was goodwill shown by players during game but in same time it has made similar mistakes during whole season. Still Fenerbahce does have good chances for league title and needs to stay focussed to achieve that aim at the end of the season for last 2 games in the league.

Akhisarspor has ended up being main problematic team for Fenerbahce as it didnt manage to beat them and its time for team to figure out what Okan Buruk has saw at this side which was missed by Aykut Kocaman.
