What happened in Turkish football today? 24.01.2017


Lukas Podolski single-handedly beat 24 Erzincanspor

Galatasaray player Lukas Podolski has shown full dominance during Turkish Cup 6th week game against 24 Erzincanspor at which he has scored 5 goals during 6:2 win against 24 Erzincanspor and has brought them ticket to the last 16 stage of Turkish Cup.

Foremost, this was the game which would 2nd team which would qualify from this group as Tuzlaspor has managed to end group as the leaders. As long as Galatasaray didnt lose the game it would be qualifying to the last 16 stage of the Turkish Cup where it would meet with Basaksehirspor. However, as the game started Galatasaray and especially Lukas Podolski has shown full dominance at the game with finding 2 goals back to back. Even through it has conceded 2 goals in 10 minutes which brought some worry to Galatasaray players and few fans, however goal by the Garry Rodrigues one minute has calmed down fans. Lukas Podolski during 15 minute period starting from 50th minute has found 3 goals, hence providing kind of hat-trick in this short period of time. It needs to be stated that Galatasaray has come out to the game focussing to win, but Podolski has provided biggest focus as he has single-handedly won 24 Erzincanspor who was hoping to make surprise by elimanating Galatasaray from competition.

24 Erzincanspor has come out to the game hoping and aiming to mark history by beating Galatasaray and hence get to the Turkish Cup last 16 stage. Even through it had started game poorly it has found 2:2 scoreline between 15th and 25th minutes and had chance to mark history. It has tried all their best but couldnt stop Podolski. Overall, team who is at 2nd league should be proud of their performance at this Turkish Cup group.

Podolski dominance at the game has brought ticket to the last 16 where it would have tougher opponent of Basaksehirspor and it would need to improve its performance of Turkish Cup as Basaksehirspor is having undoubtedly great season both at the league and at the cup.

Ricardo Quaresma has played an important role for Besiktas to get leadership.

Besiktas was able to win a critical game in the sense of getting into the top of the table with an comfortable win against one of the weakest, at current state, teams at the league Alanyaspor with 4:1 scoreline.

One of the main aspects which allowed for Besiktas to get into the top of the league, after Basaksehirspor has lost to Fenerbahce day before, was a great focus of the performance by star of the team Ricardo Quaresma. Quaresma has shown highest performance and concetration to the game with very effective crosses into the goal line with both goals ending with Besiktas goals. It needs to be stated that the side did allow Alanyaspor number of attacks during the game, but taking account condition of the Alanyaspor and high focus of Besiktas front area it was visible in begining that Istanbul side will not have big issues at winning the game. Besiktas has ended this two weeks with two crucial wins at the away and got into top of the table.

However, Besiktas still needs to stay focus for upcoming games including tough opponent Konyaspor at this weekend as it doesnt want to lose its leadership and for the ultimate target to get league title in May.

Fenerbahce and Amedspor will likely to be played like training game.

Fenerbahce game against Amedspor during Turkish Cup 6th week game would be game fully played for formality as in the rest of the group as it became clear that Genclerbirligi would finish group as leaders with Fenerbahce runner-up.

The game would certainly will be played in a friendly manner with Fenerbahce head coach Dick Advocaat likely to introduce mainly reserve players at the game, while Amedspor would likely set an eye to get win against Turkish giants at the Turkish Cup competition which it wasnt provided to compete as good as it did last season. This game would be likely to be played at training mood and would able to Dick Advocaat possibly to experiment with formations, players and different tactics.

It is likely for game to be played at slow-pace and closest scoreline for game would be seen as a draw as both teams will not be motivated for a game at all.
