What happened in Turkish football today? 03.03.2017


Trabzonspor has won league game after 2-week break. 

Trabzonspor carries on its undefeated performance at the Super League for 2017 year as this time it has managed to win Karabukspor with the help of single goal by Okay Yokuslu during 23rd week game.

As been mentioned beforehand even through Trabzonspor didnt yet lose in this year it did draw in last two games which could be seen decrease of performance and it was important to win today to carry on its aim to get to the Europa League spot as there is serious opponents above them and the goal scored by Trabzonspor new star of this season Okay Yokuslu has provided lots of motivation to the team as it has gained 35 points and right now are 3 points behind 4th placed Fenerbahce. Trabzonspor has provided pretty good attacking football using an advantage over Karabukspor who currently is with new head coach and didnt set up its top performance and hence it could been stated that it has used this advantage to its maximum and has regained an important motivation for upcoming games.

Karabukspor meanwhile didnt manage to win yet with its new head coach Zoran Barisic as Igor Tudor has left team with external and sudden circumstances for the team. Bragovic does need time to get used to the team but as league is getting into crucial weeks it can not afford making too much mistakes as if it wants to end at top half of the standings at the end of this season.

It was important for Trabzonspor to win today and it has managed that and would now look forward to carry on performing top football in upcoming weeks.

Fenerbahce and Kayserispor game has been dominated from undecided actions by assistant referee after 1st goal.

Turkish Cup quarter-final game between Kayserispor and Fenerbahce, which Fenerbahce have won with 3:0 scoreline has been mainly talked about with an controversial goal by Fernandao due of unclear actions by assistant coach after 1st goal was scored.

Assistant referee after Fernandao has scored from Jeremain Lens free-kick has been standing at his place, rather than running to centre part of the field, which provided misunderstanding and later disbelief by Kayserispor players and technical staff. It is believed that Jeremain Lens has provided cross from free-kick when ball was not standing or referee not giving his whistle. Without doubt, that goal became key part of the game as Kayserispor players could not overpass from this confusion and has lost concentration to the game which led Fenerbahce to score two other goals at the 2nd half. Fenerbahce meanwhile, even through didnt show great football at 1st half, did show good game with full concentration and converting their chances and this result could be seen by some as turning point for them or could just show that players will now focus to the Turkish Cup.

It would become more clear if Fenerbahce has regained its confidence and morale and would aim to improve its performance at the Super League during 5th March game against Osmanlispor during Super League 23rd week.

Besiktas are expected to be fully focussed at the game against Rizespor. 

As the team, Besitkas are aware that their cant relax at their title race despite of media calling them arleady champions for sure. Their would accept to show full concentration against Rizespor during Super League 23rd week game especially when Basaksehirspor are approaching them, as being 4 points behind them.

Without doubt,  Besiktas is the team with most organised and plays best football at the Turkey right now which is also proven by fact that its only team left at the Europe this season. Besiktas would be coming with a good motivation also against Rizespor especially after visiting club's museum at the Vodafone Arena and possibly would now focus to mark their part at team history with a possible aim at both winning Super League and Europa League in one season. With taking this all in consideration its easy to say that Rizespor will have a troubling time and would need to provide their best football if their want to get right result and foremost come out with strong self-belief against such an opponent.

As it is known, Besiktas would meet with Olympiakos at the Europa League last 16 1st leg game on 9th March and hence would aim to get a good result to get into the right mood for the game and carry on its league title race in confident manner.
