What happened in Turkish football today? 12/12/2017


Galatasaray has provided economical game at Turkish Cup as it got what it needed after 1st leg. 

As would been expected following big 4 teams comfortably wins during Turkish Cup 5th round 1st leg games would provide more or less calmer economical football as was case with Galatasaray who has won 1st leg game with 5:1 scoreline which could be seen as main reason why their have lost 2nd leg game with 2:1 scoreline.

Galatasaray it needs to be stated in all fairness did start game in pretty attacking manner finding number of good chances and finding an early goal with Sinan Gumus but after that has reduced their tempo being aware that their got to the last 16 stage at this tie. One of the problems of winning game with big difference during 1st leg is not being able to concentrate towards game even when its played with regular substitutes and youth players due of lack of getting focussed to the game as importance has been reduced of game. Galatasaray despite of loss during 2nd leg has shown pretty good game and now would be looking forward for last game at the Super League.

Meanwhile, even through the overall scoreline is devastated 6:3 scoreline against Galatasaray for Sivas Belediyespor during Turkish Cup 5th round tie it still would be able to celebrate factor that it has won them tonight and also scored 3 goals against league leaders in this tie.

Galatasaray was able to play very economical football and has saved its strength for this weekend game as their  have strong aims to end 1st half as league leaders.

Trabzonspor has kept its winning spirit up in running as it got last 16 with 9:1 aggregate scoreline. 

Trabzonspor carries on its winning mood which it has gained recently also at the Turkish Cup as it has won 5th round 2nd leg game against Buyuksehir Belediyespor Erzurumspor with 5:1 scoreline making aggregate scoreline as 9:1.

It needs to be stated that Trabzonspor has been opened up with finding goals during last 34 minutes of the game as it has found goals back-to-back as their have conceded 2 minutes prior of finding 1st goal. To some extend, during 1st half and until conceding goal at the 2nd half Trabzonspor did show that it was feeling calmness which it has got from 1st leg game which ended 4:0 but as it did conceded goal it became responding probably still wanting to win game to keep its winning mood which it needs for Super League performance. Main players of the game without dount has been Volkan Sen and Hugo Rodallega who have found 2 goals during the game and has in overall shown forward seeking game as it aimed to get a win from game today. Even through Trabzonspor has certainly secured their last 16 spot during 1st leg with today's win their got their confidence and winning spirit up going.

Erzurumspor did in fact show in some time some positive football especially taking account that it was coming out to the game without high mood and strong self-belief and have found 1 goal against Trabzonspor. Surely side has got some experience from those games against one of the leading teams in country.

Trabzonspor as stated has kept its motivation and winning spirit up in running and would now meet with tough game against Bursaspor on 16th December.

Besiktas has been more modest against Manisaspor during 2nd leg.

Besiktas has shown much more modest performance during Turkish Cup 5th round 2nd leg game compare to its 1st leg game and has provided much economical and slow tempo game which without doubt has led for game to end with 1:1 scoreline.

Besiktas has provided much more patient game compare to 1st leg game allowing both sides to control ball and not showing very attacking game against struggling Manisaspor which could be described to high level of protests club has recieved following them winning game with 9:0 or from feeling too secure from 1st leg result. There was expectation that Besiktas will not be showing too much attacking football compare to 1st leg and their returned this favour. It needs to be stated that right now Besiktas has difficult task at Super League at how to catch up league leaders Galatasaray who are 5 points ahead of them and would rather focus into ending league with 100% until midseason break.

Manisaspor who has been devastated very hardly from 1st leg has got an opportunity to get some raise of mood as it got draw against Champions League last 16 squad regardless the fact that this game didnt mean much for both sides.
