Galatasaray gets strong advantage to get to Turkish Cup final without much difficulty.
With the way how Galatasaray has performed at today's Turkish Cup 1st leg game against Rizespor and with comparing of recent performance at the Super League it could be comfortably stated that team is providing bigger focus to the cup as was expected.
Galatasaray has won game with 3:1 scoreline at the away game are very close to get to the final as long as it doesn't make needless mistakes during 2nd leg game in Istanbul. Galatasaray had control for the most of the time and with the help of Rizespor which was providing much weaker performance compare to league game 2 weeks ago, it had provided some help to the Galatasaray. Players at Galatasaray such as Yasin Oztekin, Emre Colak with finding goals during the game has also provided good performance which has helped team to get an important win today. Despite of all this, it still can noticed that Galatasaray had difficulty at keeping tempo for all the game and has also lost speed drastically at some moments. In fact, 2nd goal of Galatasaray has come with 1 extra men even through after few minutes game went into 10-to-10.
Galatasaray are very close for the final of the Turkish Cup which is very important for them this season as it seems to be only chance for them to go through 1-year ban from UEFA competitions. There is huge difference between performance at Turkish Cup compare to Super League and 2nd leg for Rizespor will not be easy at all.
Rizespor meanwhile has provided much poorer performance as was expected and for most of the time has allowed Galatasaray to control game. Chances to get to final for them are now very slim.
Fenerbahce becomes first team to beat Konyaspor in 2016.
Fenerbahce has managed to become first team to win Konyaspor in 2016 during Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game with a comfortable gameplay and score 3:0. Fenerbahce has shown big improvement at the game today and with this performance become strong contenders to get Turkish Cup and are ready for last 5 games at the Super League
After poor performance period of 3 games, Fenerbahce has managed to score 8 goals and concede one goal in the last 2 games and also raising performance at today's game with better control of ball and players providing more closer performance of their capacity during the game. Performance by Luis Nani especially, including his impressive free-kick goal was in the level which was expecting of him when he came to the team for first place in August. Despite of being 5 points behind Besiktas, Fenerbahce has also shown strong message to the followers in the Super League showing that performance wise their didnt give up yet. Konyaspor has provided good performance but compactible performance by Fenerbahce during game has reduced chances for Konyaspor tonight.
Fenerbahce right now are very close to the final of the Turkish Cup where it looks to meet up with Galatasaray after today's games. It has also continued to rise its performance with starting to score and win games in comfortable manner.
Konyaspor is right now more difficult as it needs to find at least 3 goals in Istanbul and this task is pretty tough. Konyaspor has ended its undefeated period but their will carry on winning at upcoming games with this high performance.
Mario Gomez will make decision to stay in Besiktas or not on 9th May.
Besiktas player Mario Gomez, who is loaned from Fiorentina, according to contract between two clubs needed to make decision about if he is going to stay at the club or not on 21st April, however according to 2nd CEO of a club Ahmet Nur Cebi, Gomez has asked for extension of decision to 9th May.
There is huge expectation right now that Mario Gomez will stay at the club taking account that both are happy with him being at a team. While Mario Gomez was here he had managed to score 22 goals so far and to lead goal-scoring list at the Super League. His rise of performance has helped to be called once again to German national team by Joachim Low for friendlies and is expected to be at the squad for the Euro 2016. Therefore, there seems to be not big reasons why Mario Gomez will leave team unless terror threats, which almost led him not to join team could affect his decision. But he did make some statements during this season stating that it is not issue for him anymore and he feels comfortable in Turkey.
There are rumours around the media both in Turkey and in Europe that Besiktas does see Roma player Edin Dzeko as Gomez alternative, but team would first aim to secure place of Mario Gomez. If Mario Gomez does not stay it will be big surprise and would raise some questions of his decision around the media and Besiktas itself.
