What happened in Turkish football today? 17/01/2017


Confidence from 1st leg has led Besiktas not to show high level performance against Osmanlispor. 

Despite of losing game during Turkish Cup last 16 2nd leg game with 2:1 scoreline against
Osmanlispor, Besiktas has managed to qualify to the quarter-final stage with 5:3 scoreline due of win at 1st leg game.

All of the 3 goals which were scored during today's game has been come at the last 10 minutes of the game and has been played quiet at low tempo prior to that with Besiktas been confident for getting to the next stage even through the silence has been end by  Pektemek goal from Besiktas at 83rd minute. However, with Osmanlispor coming out to the game with an aim not to lose game has followed for them to turn around scoreline to 2:1 scoreline with two goals from Cikalleshi within 2 minutes. Besiktas has been played with reserve team and also being aware that their got into next stage without much trouble has affected for them to provide such a calmer game.

Osmanlispor as was stated beforehand did come out for not losing the game and hence did provide such performance especially providing much more attacking game after conceding goal. Osmanlispor could have lost game but their got an important motivation prior to start of 2nd half of Super League which expects for them to be tough one.

Besiktas did come out to the game with 4:1 advantage and hence this poor performance could been expected due of team losing right amount of motivation and right now it would be waiting for its opponents on 19th January.

Konyaspor has provided get performance to get to the quarter-final.

Konyaspor has managed to end being victorious during most anticipated Turkish Cup last 16 tie as it has played with Trabzonspor, as both teams had high aims for this season competition with former aiming to defend their title.

It needs to be stated however that Trabzonspor didnt manage to provide its high-level performance during both ties and to some extend both games has went into how Konyaspor has aimed for. Taking account that current season at the Super League is not going as planned for them it was expected for them to provide extra effort. As been mentioned at yesterday blog entry, the factor that Burak Yilmaz wasnt available for game did provide some negative aspects for Trabzonspor as it wasnt able to get into high number of chances even through as whole team has failed to provide on-going performance in the attacking football. Konyaspor did deserve to go through in overall with 2:1 aggregate scoreline with such a team as it has provided needed football at 2 legs to go through.

Right now, both teams would meet again at the Super League 18th week where Trabzonspor would be expected to be more focussed as this game would be very important for league title and should show better performance as Konyaspor would come out with high motivation.

Fenerbahce has got into quarter-final without showing its best game. 

As was expected, Fenerbahce did manage to pass Istanbulspor during 2 legs during Turkish Cup last 16 stage even through it didnt show their best performance which was visible in the recent weeks at the Super League.

Fenerbahce surprisingly has shown an economical football in both legs which led their opponents to create high number of chances and lack of quality at last touches has prevented Istanbulspor to find goal yet get to the next stage. This could be explained for Fenerbahce to take their opponents likely being certain prior to tie that it would be at quarter-final, factor which could be dangerous and
Fenerbahce was lucky for incapability of opponents to find goals. Still, this could be also explained due of economical secure game prior to difficult games coming up at the Super League when it would be resumed start with this weekend game against Goztepe, who are currently are among teams at the league title race. Only negative aspect for Fenerbahce has been injury of Yigithan Guveli which as known has also made unhappy Sparta Rotterdam head coach Dick Advocaat who was waiting him to join for loan.

Fenerbahce as was expected did get to the next stage without doubt but it would certainly needs to take Goztepe much more serious in upcoming game.
