Besiktas has played last game on 2017 with high performance as it did during whole year.
Besiktas has showed once again top class performance during Turkish Cup last 16 1st leg game with a win of 4:1 scoreline against Osmanlispor and has got very comfortable win at its home at the game which expected to be very tough.
Besiktas from start of game was visible has been aiming to show top level performance as it has dominated game and was aiming to win game. To some extend, 15th minute own goal by Osmanlispor with Vrsjaevic own goal which has allowed them to provide much more an attacking game with. Meanwhile, Cenk Tosun which is rumoured to be leaving to Everton as soon as transfer window opens in January has provided also great game and has scored a goal and in overall has been showing great game. Another matter of the game was that Besiktas did come out with almost perfect squad which has shown how important was Senol Gunes taking the game. Hence, Besiktas has ended calendar year of 2017 in great way and has more described the whole performance of this calendar year in one game.
Osmanlispor which was providing poor performance at the Super League was expected to show better performance at Turkish Cup but couldnt get into the game at all. Still, one goal which was scored by Doukara could provide some hope for a team during 2nd leg.
Besiktas has ended its calendar year of 2017 at great way and now would be surely looking forward for 2018 with aims at 3rd league title back-to-back and also having high aims at Champions League aims.
Konyaspor has managed to win game with single goal in pretty dull game.
Without doubt among big 4 teams at the Turkish Cup last 16, Trabzonspor has recieved its strongest opponent as it was playing against cup holders Konyaspor regardless in how their are performing at the Super League.
Stating that Trabzonspor with its recent performance both at Super League and Turkish Cup as their didnt lose a single game since October did come out as strong favourites but couldnt recieve same results against Konyaspor. In fact, for both sides the game has been played with low tempo without much dangerous attacks which has led for game to be played in such low tempo. Konyaspor did get very good chance at 31st minute with Ali Camdali and has managed to convert its chance. Even through in overall Trabzonspor head coach Riza Calimbay reign at the team did get a great results for the team, its still unclear if its strong enough to fight for league title with its results against both Konyaspor and Trabzonspor and it needs to improve in mid-season break to create team which can become champions.
This tie is still pretty open as it has ended with 1:0 and Trabzonspor would be playing 2nd leg at home ground but Konyaspor would be aiming to use its advantage from 1st leg win.
Roberto Soldado has very likely brought quarter-final ticket to team.
The task of beating Istanbulspor during Turkish Cup last 16 1st leg game has been ended up being much harder from what was expected from Fenerbahce as it took them 79th minute to find goal with Roberto Soldado who also found at end of the game 2nd goal.
It needs to be stated that Istanbulspor has ended up being harder opponent than was expected from start as it has shown pretty well and organised football from a start. Taking account that with this being last calendar game of 2017 and players of Fenerbahce likely to be focussed into mid-season break did led them not to get into the game for long time as it has provided pretty low performance and didnt create much chances. Once again Roberto Soldado has managed to become hero for
Fenerbahce with his 2 goals as he has entered to game 10 minutes prior to his first goal and start showing himself as key player to the team as it took him time to become an important part of team but his recent performance does show his importance right now to the side. The team started playing football which Aykut Kocaman and right now their are aiming to get closer to this game as their are 3 points behind league leaders.
Coming to this tie and it can be almost confidently state that Fenerbahce are at the quarter-final as its hard for Istanbulspor to turn around 2:0 deficit from their opponents.
