What happened in Turkish football today? 04.11.2016
Basaksehirspor doesnt intend to leave its leadership at league to anyone.
Basaksehirspor carries on dream-like start of the Super League this season with managing to win one of the top 4 teams in Turkey, Galatasaray with 2:1 scoreline at Turk Telekom Arena. With this win, Istanbul side shows that it doesnt aim to give its leadership to other team in this period of time at least.
In recent years, the game between those two sides has been taken place in exciting manner with high dangerous attacks and scorelines including 3:3 draw during last season. However, this game with possibility of circumstances this game could have to both sides it was played at much slower pace which has allowed Basaksehirspor to control game much more easier and get the result which it was seeking for. Galatasaray at such an important game had a serious problem at creating dangerous chances and players didnt look themselves that their were satisfied with the performance. This performance does give a view that Galatasaray is having decrease of its performance and as it was referring as among best teams at the league this season it has found in few weeks time 6 points behind the leaders, as it was game for 6 points in such an early stages. Galatasaray needs to find solutions of those decrease of performance in past few weeks urgently if it doesnt want have big issues in this season.
Basaksehirspor carries on performing impressive performance in this season with winning of the main opponents of potential league title and has shown once again that it has control of whole field with top performance both at the defence and attack. This team will not its leadership easilly at least unti mid-season break. The team has also carried on its record without losing any games at the away games.
Galatasaray as stated has shown decrease of the performance since losing to Trabzonspor 2 weeks ago and it has lots of to do in this national team break as the strength side of the team is going down. Surely, this performance will not be enough against Fenerbahce after national team break.
Fenerbahce has won Manchester United with a great team play.
Fenerbahce has provided a great revenge for 4:1 loss in Manchester at the previous game to the Manchester United during Europa League 4th week game providing a great defensive game and showing one of the best games of this season yesterday.
This was among few games, in fact other one being at the Feyenoord, where teamwise Fenerbahce has shown great performance especially at the defence where it tried its best to reduce chances of the Manchester United to go forward and create chances. It needs to be remembered that Manchester United was having poor performances lately and due of this it has shown poor performance yesterday also and not because it wasnt taking game serious. In fact way team played after Wayne Rooney have scored on 89th minute has shown seriousness of the team. One of the key points at the game meanwhile has been small argument between Fenerbahce player Simon Kjaer and Manchester United player Zlatan Ibrahimovic where both had very heated argument. It was specifically interesting how referees has decided to only end issue with talks even through Zlatan showed physical contact both with Kjaer and referee. Looks like his ego saved him but its unlikely that UEFA will not punish him for this behaviour.
After such an important win for Fenerbahce it is will focus into next Super League game where it would be going with high motivation, and also aim for a win during next Europa League game against Zorya.
Villarreal has potential to write an history at the Europa League this season.
Osmanlispor carries on providing historical performance at the Europa League where after 4 games it has obtained 7 points and sits at the leadership with 2 point difference. It also did not lose with strongest team at the group, Villarreal with winning them with 2:1 scoreline yesterday.
Osmanlispor certainly for Europe was a big unknown club but with this year debut performance it became one of the talked clubs at the tournament and with this impressive performance it has deserved to do so. As always, it has played in game where it had believed fully that it can win game. Villarreal as was expected playing at home and its level had much more control of ball but the way
Osmanlispor has respond defensively has allowed them to reduce dangerous chances by Villarreal. It deserved the win yesterday and also getting to last 32 of Europa League where its needs around 4 points until to achieve that and it carries on writing history at the tournament.
Osmanlispor head coach Mustafa Resit Akcay has stated this season several times that team aim is the Turkish league but scoreline shows that it gives its best performance for Europa League. Without losing too much concentration to Super League, it should give even more to Europa League since it can achieve a lot in tournament.
