Kasimpasa has shown great comeback as it was close to lose to Konyaspor.
Kasimpasa has managed to show a great comeback by turning around a game from losing 2:0 at its home with winning the game 3:2 after getting goals after 82nd minute in duration of the 4 minutes.
The game which has been played in pretty dull tempo did provide an exciting end for sure.
It needs to be noted that Kasimpasa did provide pretty poor performance at the beginning of the game as both teams were showing pretty slow and ineffective football but Kasimpasa has been providing even more ineffective football and had trouble at getting into fighting spirit of the game. With such a game it did look like that Konyaspor will not have much trouble at winning an important game at the away field after 2:0 scoreline but whatever happened with Kasimpasa motivation it has managed to change game entirely within 4 minutes which led to huge shock from Konyaspor as it could not respond with such performance. Kasimpasa it needs to be stated showed a great fighting spirit at the last minute even through it was lacking great performance during whole game.
Konyaspor meanwhile has been controlling the game from beginning of the game with finding also an early goal on 16th minute by Hadziamihotic and was moving to the important win at away field with goal from Bajic at the end of 1st half. Even through game has been played in the middle, Konyaspor until 80th minute has managed to provide a reasonable good performance with controlling ball however getting too confident and keeping score has costed them a lot and with them losing concentration has led Kasimpasa to provide a memorable comeback. With having 2 goals after 1st leg at away game it still has good chance to get to the final as long as it wins at home due of this advantage. But one thing is certain if Konyaspor does get into leadership in 2nd leg it needs to stay focus and dont repeat same mistakes it has done today.
Thanks to the Kasimpasa 3 goals come back it has managed to provide a memorable ending to what otherwise was a game with lack of dangerous attacks. Still there is lots to be played for 2nd leg and lots of questions to be asked at the 2nd leg.
Fenerbahce still didnt provide great performance against Basaksehirspor despite of getting good result.
Despite of poor performance during Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game against Basaksehirspor, Fenerbahce has been able to provide an important draw and clinch an advantage for 2nd leg game which would be played in Kadikoy.
As soon as game has started and taking account that due of events which took place following Rizespor game where Basaksehirspor has beaten up A Spor journalist, team was not be able to play its strongest squad, it has started game pretty fast and has scored 2 early goals. This factor has shown that Fenerbahce defence was not ready or as Fenerbahce player Salih Ucan has stated following game, the team didnt wake up in beginning. Turning point of the game has been certainly goal scored by Ozan Tufan straight after conceding 2nd goal which allowed them to get better control of game. Despite of that it is hard to state that Fenerbahce has shown great performance at the game and were lucky to get such an important draw for its road to the final of the Turkish Cup. Stating that 2nd leg will not be an easy one for Fenerbahce for sure.
Fenerbahce does lack of self-motivation and focus as league gets to closure which was observable from yesterday and Galatasaray derby game. It would need to provide better performance in return game on 17th May if it wants to play at the final.
Basaksehirspor has shown great performance against Fenerbahce.
Basaksehirspor meanwhile with all of the factors of not being able to play with its strongest squad and playing with 3rd goalkeeper without much experience at high level did provide a great effort during Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game against Fenerbahce.
In fact, Basaksehirspor head coach Abdullah Avci has admitted that their had shown better performance compare to Fenerbahce and have indeed win the game but didnt win at score. It has provided a positive football with its star player Cengiz Under once again proving why he is such a great player and has bright future at the Turkish football with two classy goals, especially 1st one showing pure class. Meanwhile, as been stated without playing good squad and missing Volkan Babacan at goal and Yusuf Aydin at attack it still had great squad which could fight for league title and would certainly provide tougher times against Besiktas on 30th April game. Despite the draw does provide home advantage for Fenerbahce at 2nd leg, as long as Basaksehirspor wins the game it would be able to get to the final so there is good hope for them as long as their provide top football on 17th May which their are certainly capable to do.
Basaksehirspor would now focus into probably most important game for them in this season and possibly in history of club against Besiktas during Super League 29th week as result would show of how much chances does their have for league title.
