What happened in Turkish football today? 04.02.2017


Basaksehirspor carries on its impressive season with a win against Galatasaray at Turkish Cup.

Basaksehirspor has managed to get an important win against Galatasaray during Turkish Cup last 16 stage with 2:1 scoreline with the impressive performance by the Mustafa Pektemek performance with finding two goals during first half an hour of the game.

Basaksehirspor has shown much better organised football with organising game and creating better chances and having a better formation and showing why again to the viewers why its having a very good season. Taking account that Basaksehirspor, compare to Galatasaray was playing without many players who are usual starting 11 players has also made a game into more impressive and shows that Basaksehirspor carries on having a great and strong season. Basaksehirspor among controlling game for long time has also managed to create high number of the chances. Basaksehirspor has shown full focus to the game from start to an end and has deserved to be at the quarter-final stage. However, it tend to be stated that Edin Visca was offside prior to goal of the 1st goal of the Mustafa Pektemek and following 3 moves of Emre Belozoglu towards Josue, especially third one pushing to hard was red card but referee Metin Kavlak ignored that position.

Meanwhile, despite of not great performance of at the league it was expected for Galatasaray to show a great performance at the game tonight as it tends to be providing memorable game at the Turkish Cup during of the last 2 seasons. However, it has recieved a big blow in the 4th minute of the game when Wesley Sneijder has become injured and it has affected to performance of whole Galatasaray. Overall, Galatasaray didnt manage to control game today even through it did find number of the chances. Meanwhile, Galatasaray supporters has chanted towards end of the game towards Riekerink telling him to resign which shows that number of supporters are unhappy with performance despite of good wins at the past two weeks. With recent performance at the cup, it was natural for them to expect better performance today and mistakes of Metin Kalkavan are not only reasons why Galatasaray lost today.

Meanwhile, this performance would certainly affect to the Basaksehirspor both at the Turkish Cup and also more important at Super League as it would gain high motivation for the rest of the season for league title. While, Galatasaray would need to get important lessons from today's game and focus more into league.

Besiktas comes out as favourite against Fenerbahce

Turkish Cup last 16 game between Besiktas and Fenerbahce promises to be an early final level game as the game would be played with one game at which either during 90 minutes or 120 minutes one of the big teams in Turkey would get to quarter-final stage.

It needs to be stated that Besiktas with recent performance and playing at home does come out as favourite with having a good focus into the game and help of the supporters which are known to do great job at the Vodafone Arena. Taking account that Besiktas carries on its good performance for past 2 seasons it would be expected for them to come to the game in high confidence and mood. Another point of advantage is of course better performance with Besiktas as it became performing at the similar level as it did last season and fast game. Biggest focus during the game would be given to the Cenk Tosun who is goal scorer of the season. Therefore, taking account performance and psychological pressure Besiktas does come out as favourite.

Besiktas is also seeing following game as an opportunity to provide another blow to Fenerbahce who are not having good season believing that the result would also affect their Super League performance.

Fenerbahce aim for a win against Besiktas and turn its bad results upside down.

In other hand, Fenerbahce are seeing this team as an chance to raise its mood which it has lost during recent performances at the Super League including loss to the Kayserispor last week and sees an opportunity of game against Besiktas as a chance to turn their bad luck.

Fenerbahce will play its first game at the Vodafone Arena in its history and would also aim to become first team to beat Besiktas at their own home as Besiktas carries on great record at home ground for half-year right now. Fenerbahce did achieve this factors before with winning away games at derbies several times and also including historical times, including becoming first team to beat Galatasaray at Turk Telekom Arena. It would also aim to make same historical mark at the Vodafone Arena tomorrow. The players are reported to be fully focussed to the game and to beat the Besiktas and hence gain motivation also to the Super League season. Moussa Sow is known to be specifically focused as it would be his first game as he returns from African Nations Cup.

Fenerbahce would see as an turning point for them the game against Besiktas as the win would certainly raise high motivation to the team.
