Despite of poor game, Basaksehirspor kept its advantage for title race.
Team which actually provided slightly worser performance during Super League between Basaksehirspor and Galatasaray, actually ended up being winner from this game compare to team which played better, as Basaksehirspor kept its top position with 5 weeks left this season.
It could be noted that Basaksehirspor during start of 1st and 2nd half did provide better game but in overall it did provide much more defensive game with making some mistakes and looked to be panicked. Even through club is being known to provide more defensive and controllable which was also seen during this game, what made surprising is didnt get much control of the ball with focussing too much on defence. With coach Okan Buruk stating after game that club went into too much into defence could provide view that side did show this due of psychological pressure. However, it was surprising to see for Basaksehirspor to be so much panicked as even through their even lost game, their would kept leadership and still be closer for title. In fact, Basaksehirspor need to find more itself lucky with this point but needs to take lesson from this game as it would have some tough games with sides aiming to stay at league.
Basaksehirspor still has 2 points advantage over Trabzonspor and 8+1 points with Galatasaray due of head to head, this should provide some confidence for last 5 games at league.
Galatasaray showed good game but lost its chance for title very likely.
Despite of having some absences on its squad due of injuries, it needs to be noted that Galatasaray did provide some good performances against Basaksehirspor but still got 1 point and now its chances for title are being low as it would need Basaksehirspor to lose 3 games and also Trabzonspor to lose points.
Despite of losing crucial 2 points, Galatasaray provided its best performance following Covid 19 pandemic but in our view it didnt get winning due of failing raising tempo into high levels which did happen due of one thing which Basaksehirspor did manage is to reduce tempo of the game. Still, Galatasaray deserves praise since players did come out for the game being aware its their last hope at title race but missing crucial attackers on front did provide that needed important touch which did come only once through Emre Akbaba goal. Galatasaray would now need to focus for possibly getting 2nd Champions League but to achieve that their would need to get win from Trabzonspor as loss in that game would make point difference to 9 points with top 2 sides. Therefore, its crucial for players to believe their can achieve that in way their did in this game.
Once again this point didnt too much help for title race for Galatasaray, but high level concentration needs to be praised for them.
Sivasspor performance is surely not enough for title hopes.
Sivasspor continues with showing poor performance following Covid 19 break, losing 3 points against Kayserispor which is currently providing its fight to stay on the league even through it needs to be admitted their opponents did come out with form.
It could be noticed that start of the game did been go for how Sivasspor wanted with creating chances and having penalty kick chance on 15th minute. However, for Sivasspor in negative meaning turning point of game did come out from this penalty kick with Mert Hakan Yandas not being able to score goal and with him and also whole side losing concentration for rest of the game without doubt. With Sivasspor showing much more slower and ineffective performance, this without doubt did provide motivational boost for Kayserispor who started going even more ahead and did find goal in the end of the half. Thanks to this goal and with Sivasspor still providing bad game, Kayserispor started showing even more attacking game which gained them, even through, questionable penalty decision with that goal ending Sivasspor hopes entirely. Sivasspor for 75 minutes did provide very poor game and looks to be out of form which hence surely reduce their title hopes.
With being 7 points behind leaders it still has small chance for rest of the 5 weeks but with such performance it would not be able to achieve it even if teams above them will lose points.
