What happened in Turkish football today? 22.01.2017


Fenerbahce has gained a crucial point against Basaksehirspor with tactical performance.

Fenerbahce has won an important game against Basaksehirspor during Super League 18th week game as it was able to reduce point difference against leaders for 4 points before Besiktas would meet with Alanyaspor tomorrow.

It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce has played a tactical and technical football which was focussed mainly to reduce Basaksehirspor to play its useful football and aimed to reduce the chances at their rivals. This performance was quite natural as it would almost throw the towel if it has lost this game. The game itself could not be played at the high quality but it has showed great focus. It could be even seen by the Ozan Tufan goal which was attacking wise a goal which was fought by players and not giving at their chance. What makes this win also more important as it tasted first loss to the leaders of this season even through their opponents were not managed to create dangerous chances. Defence of the Fenerbahce meanwhile has once again has shown a great performance which led Basaksehirspor have limited amount of shots without being too dangerous at the goal.

Basaksehirspor has lost its 1st game during Super League this season and could lose its leadership at the end of this season but it didnt also manage to respond to tactical and technical performance by Fenerbahce which has shown that Basaksehirspor could have issues when opponents successfully provide tactical and technical performance.

Fenerbahce has gained an important point during week when also Galatasaray has lost to
Karabukspor yesterday and if Besiktas would be able to lose points against Alanyaspor it would clearly become winner of the week.

Trabzonspor wins games back-to-back, this time beating Kasimpasa.

Trabzonspor has managed to win Kasimpasa during Super League 18th week game with 1:0 scoreline with the header from newly-signed player Emmanuel Mas, which means that club has won back-to-back two games.

Trabzonspor as it was mentioned several times was looking for consistency of good results to push forwards its football and it has gained this for now as it has won games back-to-back following also last week win against Bursaspor. Trabzonspor it needs to be stated has started with high motivation and focus which hence led for them to find goal with an organised and header goal by the Emmanuel Mas at last minute of the 1st half. It needs to be stated that opponents has shown good reaction at the 2nd half, while Trabzonspor has controlled game during 1st half. Stating that it stayed focussed to the game and has provided good defensive football to get a win which it has deserved and needed for confidence.

Kasimpasa did provide good game especially at the 2nd half but Trabzonspor is stronger than them in quality sense and has this factor has led them to have some troubles at the game. However, Kasimpasa did approach to get at least a draw and this performance could lead them for better results in upcoming games.

Trabzonspor would certainly now focus to carry on this winning performance for the next week game against Gaziantepspor as it would also play an important Turkish Cup game on midweek to have hope to get last 16 ticket at the tournament.

Referee of Karabukspor and Galatasaray game Cuneyt Cakir was not at his best performance.

Galatasaray has certainly recieved a big blow during Super League 18th week game against Karabukspor as it has lost game with the scoreline of the 2:1 during the game which was mainly dominated by interesting decisions made by the referee of the game Cuneyt Cakir.

Cuneyt Cakir during the game has provided pretty interesting decisions which includes Yasin Oztekin goal on 15th minute and also penalty decision in 15 minutes time. Firstly, it needs to be stated that the goal was legitimate which was scored by Oztekin, but interesting part was for Cuneyt Cakir to be asking if it was hand ball or not to the Yasin himself. It would be interesting to expect for him to state that it was hand ball even when it was. Surely, being affected by this decision which he wasnt sure of he has provided wrong penalty kick which was converted by the Seleznyev. It was big fight for a ball by two players and if there was any foul it should be given to Seleznyev. Stating all that it needs to be underlined that Karabukspor has provided better game compare to Galatasaray and has deserved win even more at the end of the day.

Galatasaray as the team needs to improve with this performance and needs to work on system. For weeks it was expected that Galatasaray will be losing point somewhere as it was mainly lucky in previous games.
