What happened in Turkish football today? 20.12.2016


Besiktas has got draw against Boluspor while playing at snowy conditions.

Besiktas has lost its first points at the Turkish Cup at the Group D 3rd week game against Boluspor at the game which was played under heavy snow conditions which led for Istanbul side to play at the conditions which it is not used to.

Both sides it needs to be stated has been affected by the weather conditions as their couldnt find much of the good chances during game with 1st half has only been provided one goal chance  by Vincent Aboubakar who couldnt convert good chance into the goal as the ball has passed next to the goal post. Meanwhile, it needs to be stated that Besiktas has come to the Boluspor with better players at the starting 11 compare to previous two games at the Turkish Cup showing signs that the head coach Senol Gunes did take game pretty seriously. Players such as Vincent Aboubkar, Olcay Sahan, Gokhan Inler and Adriano were at the starting 11 but has had difficulty at creating good chances among other players at the squad. Taking account to the weather conditions of the game it is hard to criticise a lot both teams for failing to provide good game as heavy snow has affected the field, and vision of the game. Therefore, both teams need to be praised for trying to play positive football.Meanwhile, Kerim Frei carries on being Turkish Cup scorer during this season as he had scored 4 goals at the tournament so far after 3 games.

Boluspor, which are leaders at the 1st league, has provided good fight at the game and has got an important draw for their aim to get into knockout stage and also have managed to draw game after 15 minutes after conceding from big team such as Besiktas.

Besiktas still carries on its campaign at the Turkish Cup in confident manner as it got 7 points and are certainly will get to knockout stage and providing to some extend best performance at the cup compare to the big teams. Now it would aim to end season at high note with Gaziantepspor and 4th week game in cup once again against Boluspor.

Fenerbahce has got 3:0 win against Genclerbirligi despite of poor defence performance.

Fenerbahce could consider itself pretty lucky for obtaining 3:0 scoreline result at the game against Genclerbirlgi despite of providing one of the worst performance at attack and especially at defensive performance.

Following such an introduction, there could be raised question how than Fenerbahce managed to win with such score. Foremost, the main important reason for Genclerbirligi not being to score a goal lies into incredible performance by Fenerbahce goalkeeper Volkan Demirel who has managed to save 8 chances by Genclerbirligi, and secondly was Fenerbahce using its counter-attack effectively with quality matter of the players such as Moussa Sow and Fernandao to become most important issue. Genclerbirligi head coach Umit Ozat had stated after game that he is proud of his players and points are given to teams which convert chances. He has all right to be proud of his team yesterday performance with providing most brave football which was not given by other clubs when coming to Fenerbahce stadium. Fenerbahce defence has provided also one of the worst performance during this season by allowing Genclerbirligi to enter to their penalty zone more than 30 times during game.

In other hand, Fenerbahce has gained an important confidance boost after Antalyaspor loss and hence can look forward for the Super League 16th week game against Trabzonspor next Monday.

Tuzlaspor can make surprise if Galatasaray allows them.

Galatasaray is going to meet against Tuzlaspor at the Turkish Cup 3rd week game at the game which became very crucial for them following 2 draws during first games at the Turkish Cup while Tuzlaspor has managed to win 2 games at this group stage.

Tuzlaspor until now has dominated this group with scoring 5 goals so far at this group stage incuding 4:0 win against 24 Erzincanspor at opening week and so far didnt concede a goal. Of course, Tuzlaspor would come out its most toughest game with a huge gap between quality but if Galatasaray would provide similar performance as it did in previous games and will not take game serious enough Tuzlaspor can make huge surprise with the result. If that to take place Galatasaray will lose its chance to defend its Turkish Cup and have scare of not even getting to knockout stages.

Therefore, it is expected for Galatasaray to improve its performance taking account its playing at home and Galatasaray does come out as favourite but any mistake or loss of concentration by them could lead for Tuzlaspor to take advantage.
