What happened in Turkish football today? 10.03.2017


Fenerbahce has shown great comeback against Alanyaspor as it was losing with 2:0 scoreline.

Fenerbahce has managed to win Super League 24th week game against Alanyaspor with 3:2 scoreline while losing game with 2:0 scoreline after 15th minute and has shown great comeback which has brought that first away win in 2017 and great confidence for upcoming games at the league.

It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce has started game very poorly without being able to control the game at all, making simple mistakes both in attacking and defence which led Alanyaspor to find chances back-to-back during first half an hour of the game. Fenerbahce player Jeremain Lens has shown unhappiness how his team has competed during 1st minutes and has tried to motivate his teammates to start playing at the game. Omeruo own goal has brought scoreline to 2:1 and with Fenerbahce recieving lucky goal has also motivated team's performance which led to more organised and controlled game after that moment. After 2:2 and during whole 2nd half Fenerbahce has controlled game and the game has turned 180 degrees with Fenerbahce playing organising football while Alanyaspor wasnt able to control game. The fact that game turned into 2:2 has certainly provided motivation for the Fenerbahce while demotivated Alanyaspor. This game has certainly provided good motivation for upcoming games.

Alanyaspor has shown a good start of the game controlling and providing full shock to the Fenerbahce which was seen as how team was playing during 1st 30 minutes and providing that it would provide one of the biggest shocks to its Istanbul rivals. But it wasnt able to respond to goals which is conceding and certainly this is an area which needs to be think about and focus by team coach Safet Susic.

Fenerbahce has marked one of the memorable comebacks of this season and with way it was performing after 2:2, it has shown full control of game even through it needs still to find reasons why it has started game and brought itself into difficult situation. Regardless of that, such a comeback usually provides huge confidence and concentration which is crucial for runner-up spot fight and obtaining qualifying spot at Champions League.

Besiktas did get an advantage scoreline despite of not being at its best during 1st half.

Despite of not providing its usual performance against Olympiakos, especially at the 1st half, during Europa League last 16 1st leg game, it was still able to get an advantage scoreline with a great goal by the Vincent Aboubakar with the help of the mistake by Olympiakos goalkeeper Nicola Leali.

The game has ended with 1:1 scoreline which hence provides away goal rule which even through at first hand would not be able to be seen as great advantage, when you taking account performance of the team at the Vodafone Arena both in domestically and at the Europe, it does make them a bit more advantage. The most important thing is of course is for Besiktas to be confident and focussed during 2nd leg. Even through, to all respect to the Osmanlispor, Besiktas is much stronger than Ankara counterparts it needs to be remembered that Osmanlispor has drawn in Athens and after lost at 2nd leg. The role at the 2nd leg is certainly would be big for home fans but their would do their role. Coming to yesterday game, it wasnt able to provide top class football and its usual performance during 1st half which did play role for Cambiasso to find goal and also look forward with good hope for 2nd leg game.

Prior to the Olympiakos, Besiktas would play against Kayserispor who head coach Senol Gunes has stated to be more harder game. Even through some media had connotated that this mean that Kayserispor is stronger than Olympiakos, the statement could be more referred to the continuation of fight of its league title.

Galatasaray is likely to show improvement in game against Genclerbirligi.

Following well-fought against Antalyaspor during last week game, Galatasaray would aim to carry on its similar performance or probably more likely also to get much less stressful game against Genclerbirligi who are currently are at the relegation zone at fight to stay at the league.

Even through Galatasaray is arguably are not at their best performance, there were an important signs of them getting closer to the level which Igor Tudor is aiming for with his side. With another week for Galatasaray to prepare for this game, it is more likely to see Galatasaray to also improve at this game but it does have big issue of injured players such as Semih Kaya, Bruma, Chedjou, Podolski Sneijder and Eren Derdiyok which stops to come out with their best squad. But as Genclerbirligi head coach Umit Ozat stated prior to game, Galatasaray still has great players who are capable to fill their space in tomorrow. Genclerbirligi meanwhile is all focussed to provide its best performance for rest of 12 games and end the league at the highest point it can and even through it can be see as team without any aims right now, it has coach and players who want to end season at the high and good performance.

Galatasaray will come out as favourite but it needs to be remembered that Genclerbirligi are showing good football in recent weeks and would give tough time to opponent. It promises to be good game unless if Galatasaray will play their best football.
