What happened in Turkish football today? 07/05/2018


Besiktas win against Kayserispor keeps their low chances for league title alive. 

Despite of losing chances to get league title of this season and also losing to Galatasaray during last week game, it has managed to stay focussed for Super League 32nd week against Kayserispor and mathematically still has chances for league title.

With recent events happening at the Besiktas and also head coach Senol Gunes not being at his best form physically it was strong question how the team would respond to Kayserispor with taking account it would lose any chances to get league title. With players also showing great concentration to the game, it has been started at high tempo with both sides looking for chances until scoreline of the game has become 2:0. In comparison, to 1st half 2nd half has been played at slower tempo with Besiktas controlling game and Kayserispor more or less accepting losing the game. This game by Besiktas has at least shown that team is still focussed and aims to end season at the best form and possibly raise at the tempo and if being lucky at worst into 2nd place which would allow them to compete at the Champions League. Even through as it was seen after game Besiktas players and head coach Senol Gunes are aware of low chances for this to happen, players still show great concentration.

Kayserispor it needs to be stated that it has started game in positive manner but as game has been progressed it has conceded  2 goals it has also lost concentration and motivation of the game and didnt manage to use its advantage of extra man for 2nd half. Now team would focus to last 2 games and achieve their aim to end season at top 8.

Besiktas has risk of coming out to next week against Osmanlispor without arleady being out of race if Galatasaray win their game against Yeni Malatyaspor day before but despite of that it is certain that team whatever happens would like to end season with wins against Ankara side and Sivasspor.

Galatasaray needs to keep concentration high for last 180 minutes if it wants league title.

With 2 goals scored by Garry Rodrigues during Super League 32nd week game against Akhisarspor, Galatasaray has got into stage where it only needs to get 4 goals during last 2 games against Yeni Malatyaspor home and also Goztepe which is aiming for Europa League key 5th spot position.
Galatasaray has started game in such a manner that it was visible that team is aiming to get league title at the end of the season and also get 21st title in its history of the Super League. The main role of this win without doubt has been Garry Rodrigues who has found 2 goals and also Fernando Muslera with his two saves and was able to get without damage from away game phobia even through it did show some signs of it towards end of the season. Meanwhile, and its worrying aspect for them that surprisingly Bafetembi Gomis has lost his effectiveness at goal as he didnt find goals in last games and this aspect could be crucial especially if their would need goal at crucial away against Goztepe in last week. Galatasaray are very close for league title and 4 point is great advantage and statistically it doesnt look that it would lose its title. But history knows some twists and regardless how Yeni Malatyaspor game would be ended their would be crucial away game which without doubt does create high amount of stress and need for concentration for upcoming 180 minutes.

As been stated, Galatasaray without doubt has got very strong advantage for league title but team cant get relaxed in upcoming games against Yeni Malatyaspor at home and also more crucially against Goztepe as getting 4 points might not be that simple.

Fenerbahce has kept at title race with difficult win against Bursaspor.

Since as been stated above, Galatasaray didnt guarentee yet its league title, Fenerbahce would need to stay focussed and also concentrated with winning next 2 games against Karabukspor and Konyaspor.
Even through its depends on lucky its opportunity is still not very low.However, Fenerbahce despite of getting an important win against Bursaspor, it did provide pretty poor performance against Bursaspor as it has won game in mcuh difficult condition as was expected.

Due of all respect, win against Karabukspor does look to be 100% certain however this performance would raise some issues against Konyaspor as it is among teams which raise its level of performance against big clubs. Coming to game, there has been lots of talks that Bursaspor player Moussa Sow has scored an own goal when it was needed to Fenerbahce and conceded in last minute of the goal. But by looking into positions its need to be stated that it was in game play and no signs at all it was done on purpose. Of course, Sow has strong connection with Fenerbahce but it would not be done in purpose to help team by professional with as being stating again during game it wasnt even visible. Fenerbahce had trouble at winning game but it has won it and would be at title race until last week unless it got highly unexpected loss to Karabukspor. In fact, it might even win them with very high scoreline as it would be also focus to reduce aggregate against Galatasaray in case of same points scenario.

Fenerbahce win against Bursaspor can also provide positive effect to the team for last 2 weeks in sense of motivation and it does need to stay focussed as their might not want to lose an opportunity which might turn to them.

Results:
Turkish Super League, 32nd week:
Besiktas 2:0 Kayserispor
Goztepe 0:0 Yeni Malatyaspor
