Fenerbahce has won game with a cruise control mode.
Turkish Cup 3rd week games has been mainly dominated by the 3 clubs of the top 4, apart of the Besiktas, winning their first games at this season Turkish Cup group stage with Fenerbahce winning Menemen Belediyespor in Izmir.
It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce has controlled the game for most of the part without raising tempo of the game too much and being at the cruise control as the scoreline of 1:0 shows at the end of the day. It does need to be stated however that Menemen Belediyespor did show some good performance with being at the 2nd league (or 3rd tier at the league system) with providing very brave football by showing impressive attacking football. Of course, giving so much effort, even if their opponents were not playing with best 11 has affected them and their became tired which only went as an advantage to the Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce did get an important win even through this performance does show that their not taking group stage at least of group stage into full focus.
Fenerbahce needs to carry on winning at Turkish Cup if it wants to get to the knockout stages but due of league condition and Europa League it might not get this tournament into serious matter.
Trabzonspor has got an important win against Kizilcabolukspor.
Trabzonspor in the other hand would certainly needs to take Turkish Cup seriously as it would be only their chance to end season with a title and possibly competing at the European tournament next season as chances at the league are arleady seem to be slim.
Despite of that, Trabzonspor has won its first game at the group stage and that was against weakest link of the group Kizilcabolukspor. The win with 5:0 scoreline however did lead some possitve aspects to the team. 1st one was to gain an 19-year old potential star of team and whole Turkey Yusuf Yazici who have scored two goals during the game and has provided 3 assists has played an important role in all goals scored. Another positive aspect of the game was to get motivation prior to the Super League 16th week game against Fenerbahce on 26th December. With that game to be played at home it certainly would get good motivational boost even through Fenerbahce does come out as favourite.
Trabzonspor surely needs to take Turkish Cup more seriously due of their circumstances and is likely to become one of their favourites to get the tournament if their manage to get to the knockout stage.
Besiktas needs to improve if it wants to win Gaziantepspor.
Besiktas would coming back to the Super League with the game against Gaziantepspor during 16th week game as it would try to get to its top performance which it was lacking in the past weeks.
The game between Kasimpasa last week has shown that Besiktas does have decline which was observed from their performance and this has led to their 1st loss at the league in this season. There is a vision that players have become tired of the fast-tempo performance which their were showing before and even more importantly have to impact on providing much slower performance at creating chances. As it would be remembered, Besiktas has been praised for very fast football during last season, the aspect which is missing in this season with not only some players leaving in summer but also performance of existing players has been drastically declined. Saying that Besiktas does come out as favourite but it needs to provide better performance compare to last week if it wants to win.
Besiktas does need to win the game or the draw or loss would provide huge affect with their fight to get league leadership which it arleady lost until midseason break.
