What happened in Turkish football today? 24.04.2017

Besiktas has managed to win Adanaspor after having difficult week.

Following very hard both physically and emotionally game against Olympique Lyon during Europa League 2nd leg game which it has lost at penalties at high tempo 120 minute game, it was expected that Besiktas would have difficult time with last-placed Adanaspor during Super League 28th wek game.

Besiktas did try to play an effective game today and it needs to be stated that it didnt provide slow game but there were some simple mistakes been done especially at defence during today's game which led to concede 2 goals. With Adanaspor still having some chance to stay at the league has provided a positive football which provided even more tougher time for the Besiktas. It would be natural for some people to criticise Besiktas performance today against last-placed team as it was team who was going slowly to the league title this season, but as been mentioned after Lyon game it was normal for them. The best outcome of the game for Besiktas has been for Dusco Tosic to find his 1st goal with his club at the 80th minute which ended up being most important goal during whole game as it allowed him to bring victory to his team at the end of the day. It was important him such a goal after some simple mistakes during this season and also missing penalty against Lyon in midweek.

Adanaspor meanwhile has provided high quality performance during the game with providing good brave performance against league leaders and has provided that their can provide a possitive football. If their performed like that generally during this season their certainly would not been now at the last place at the league.

Following win especially before Basaksehirspor has provided Besiktas 7 point leadership against their closest opponent, and if it manages to win Basaksehirspor on 30th April it would certainly become champions at the end of the season.

Fenerbahce has won with dull football against Galatasaray.

Derby game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce which took place during Super League 28th week, would be remembered by the fans as one of the most dullest games between two rivals. It would also be remembered with pretty poor performance by the winner Fenerbahce.

During whole game Fenerbahce has only found 2 dangerous chances and 1st one has come out at 86th minute while 2nd at 90+1 minute was goal by the header from Josef de Souza from very good play from Sener Ozbayrakli who has provided great asisst to Souza. Fenerbahce has been focussed into providing strong defence but it is pretty difficult to state that Galatasaray has been been very effective at the front even through statistically it shows that Galatasaray has dominated game. It did look like during game that Fenerbahce didnt have intention to win the game and has been just lucky to find the goal but it could been also be tactics to slow down Galatasaray and find goals at the end of the game, the tactic which played an important role for game to be observed in dull way. Fenerbahce performance despite of win does show that team needs a lot of revision after season is complete.

Stating that, with winning Galatasaray, Fenerbahce is currently 4 points behind 2nd place Basaksehirspor and still have good chance to get Europa League with playing last 6 games at the league.

Galatasaray needs big revisions both technically and administratively.

In other hand, Galatasaray with losing against Fenerbahce yesterday is right now 8 points behind Basaksehirspor and its chance to get 2nd place are getting weaker as it needs to win all of the games while hopping Basaksehirspor losses 3 games and Fenerbahce 2 games.

Galatasaray statistically wise has dominated game from start to beginning and looked it had control of the game however it needs to be stated that those attacks were ineffective and despite of 1-2 chances, Fenerbahce player Volkan Demirel didnt had any moment to worry about. It needs to be noted that Galatasaray head coach Igor Tudor has provided his best squad which he has in his disposal but the players as their for most of the week didnt able to perform their best. It does look like Galatasaray season is getting worser and its doesnt look like their will be able to end season in high note and have danger to get outside of European competitions as Trabzonspor are currently 2 points behind them. Galatasaray as stated was one attacking for most of the part in game but it turn out into nothing due of poor performance at the front.

Galatasaray does have serious issues at the team and it needs to go into revision with the team both in administrative and coaching manner. Meanwhile, during whole season Galatasaray has lost to Fenerbahce 13 times out of 14 times which includes football, women's and men's basketball, women's and men's volleyball
