What happened in Turkish football today? 12.03.2017


Besiktas has won 1 point against very organised Kayserispor.

Super League 24th week game between Besiktas and Kayserispor has carried on with exciting games of this week regarding of the big 4 teams. With Besiktas also having a difficult game at the Europa League against Olympiakos has provided some difficulty while Kayserispor has shown great fighting spirit.

It could been argued that Besiktas has played one of the most toughest games since losing to Karabukspor on 21st week with 2:1 scoreline and the card punishment of the Gokhan Gonul and Ricardo Quaresma has played an important role for today's performance. It needs to be stated that Besiktas performance even through with some negative aspects during the game it has still good fighting spirit until the end of the game with Vincent Aboubakar scoring two important goals and including Olympiakos game at the Europa League last 16 game has scored all of the last 3 goals for the Besiktas and with taking account that he was criticised a lot in the start of the season his turning to be a key player right now. Besiktas didnt play its best game and Kayserispor gave their best for the game so its could be stated that Besiktas has gained point at the end of the day.

Kayserispor has provided full focus towards the game with controlling it from start to the end and has provided difficult moment for Besiktas which is not easy task to do. Their had full concentration, focus towards the game and with this performance it would be able to stay at the Super League at the end of the season.

Besiktas didnt have its best game and has won a point rather than losing 2 points, however this result has raised title race even more exciting as difference with Basaksehirspor has dropped to 2 points.

Galatasaray has won Genclerbirligi but it wasnt easy as wasnt last week game.

Galatasaray has had two tough games back to back which it managed to win with 3:2 scoreline, this beating Genclerbirligi during Super League 24th week game with a last minute free-kick goal by the Selcuk Inan and would now look forward for the next week game against Trabzonspor.

Even through it still could be arguably that Galatasaray is still not playing its best football which is capable of, with the arrival of the new head coach Igor Tudor, Galatasaray has recieved fighting spirit which it was missing with Jan Olde Riekerink. The players are trying to play faster football and taking account that it Antalyaspor last week and Genclerbirligi yesterday also came for a win, it has led for exciting game. Galatasaray does have issues with stamina through which is visible for players getting frequently injured and also getting tired after of the 60th minute, which certainly has been realised by the opponents. Meanwhile, hand ball by  Tolga Cigerci which led to the penalty has been seen as big mistake as his jump looked more like volleyball than football move. Tolga and other players need to be careful with those actions.

With Galatasaray slowly securing its top 4 place at the league however getting further from catching leaders Besiktas, would be hoping for losses from both Basaksehirspor and Fenerbahce to get 2nd place spot at the end of the season.

Trabzonspor are looking forward for Akhisar Belediyespor game.

Trabzonspor as would been expected to be coming out to the Turkish Super League 24th week game against Akhisar Belediyespor to win the game and carry on its undefeated year of the 2017 and to all respect to Akhisar Belediyespor, this aim can be achieved against them.

Trabzonspor as been stated several times at this blog for this year has provided incredible comeback to the season without losing game for 2017 and now would be fighting to get Europa League even through prior to game its 9 points behind Fenerbahce who are at the 4th place at the table. In around past 2 years, it was argued that Trabzonspor could be one which could be beat without big issues by other teams however this has been changed a lot especially with new transfer from mid-season and also youth stars from academy such as Okay Yokuslu and Yusuf Yazici who are new stars of the team. Akhisar Belediyespor meanwhile does show also some recent improvement with head coach Tolunay Kafkas but with performance of two teams, it will not be enough for Akhisar Belediyespor and it needs to give extra focus and performance if it wants to win tomorrow.

Trabzonspor would come out at its biggest test so far at the next game against Galatasaray, and certainly it would look for that game to get into good confidence and motivation and to achieve that it would look for win against Akhisar Belediyespor.
