What happened in Turkish football today? 11/02/2018


Fenerbahce has got very important win against Basaksehirspor as their reduced 2 points against them.

Fenerbahce has got what it was seeking for as it has managed to win against Basaksehirspor with 2:0 scoreline thanks to two goals from Fernandao who has played his 100th game for his team. Basaksehirspor meanwhile wasnt able to outplay their opponents during the game.

Compare to previous away games which Fenerbahce has played against Basaksehirspor, the task for Fenerbahce has been even more easier as it has managed to provide very organised game and didnt allow their opponents to provide game which their opponents are used to. It was important for Fenerbahce to win this game as the loss or even draw could lower chances for league title during this season but right has reduced its point difference to 2 points from Basaksehirspor and currently same points with Galatasaray. Fenerbahce player Fernandao easier coming out to his 100th game or having general motivation for game has managed to turn it double for the game. The game in overall has come out focussing into game with providing great defensive game and make it intervined with attacking game which is tactic would be able to play huge role during this title race.

Basaksehirspor which has also lost 2 points last week against Konyaspor didnt manage to provide a very good game today failing to get into upper hand and providing some worries for title race for a team during last 2 weeks. Absence of Emre Belozoglu has also been felt by Basaksehirspor for clear.

Fenerbahce has got very important win and has found themselves directly at the mix of title race with winning against its aim rivals right now and have reduced to 2 points and with this win would be aiming for more focus.

Besiktas has got an important motivational boost thanks to Karabukspor.

Besiktas has managed to get a comfortable win against last-placed and struggling side Karabukspor with 5:0 scoreline as Istanbul side has shown great dominance during game and was having highly-organised game for part of the game.

One of the important notices during game was of 2 goals scored by Vagner Love who has come out to the field in place of Alvaro Negredo who in other hand has not been able to score many goals during this season. However, problem is despite of not finding net it is hard to state that Negredo has been ineffective player in this last period with creating chances for his teammates. Therefore, with Negredo being currently focussed it would be questionable if Love would be able to replace him in near future as he has scored to weakest side and still didnt show himself at the best to the team. Another star of the game without doubt has been Talisca who has scored 2 goals during game and has shown that he is willing to play an important role with a team to provide some fight for this season league title also and also possibly against Bayern Munich game which is getting closer and closer at the Champions League. Besiktas would now have 6 days break until Konyaspor game which would be longest time for rest for a team for almost a month.

Besiktas certainly has got an important opportunity to get motivational boost for crucial games which include two Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce games in those weeks time and hence it was crucial for them to get this comfortable win against side with serious issues.

Trabzonspor needs to start winning if it wants to be in Europe next season. 

Trabzonspor has carried on its habit at getting draw at the Super League as it has got this time 5th draw against Genclerbirligi and has shown once again that it has serious issues at winning and scoring goals without Burak Yilmaz.

Positive note which Trabzonspor get from this result is that their are still showing winning spirit at the team which it would need for upcoming games but with losing 2 points at each week would naturally push them further for league title and Europa League spots and it would be expected for fans to be unhappy with those results. As been stated above, when draws for Genclerbirligi or other sides at bottom could be an incredible importance during this season, same could not be said for clubs at above as Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce would be able to fill. Therefore, Trabzonspor would now be aiming during this week to do everything to find solution to end this draw results if it wants to end season at high note as 13 games left in season.

Trabzonspor with its current situation and strength could be seen that winning all 13 games could be seen as high hope and team is literally out of league title race despite of mathematical chances, but it should focus to get maximum wins for Europa League.
