Galatasaray has become new leaders with help from Gomis.
Galatasaray has raised into leadership of the table with 13 weeks left at the Super League by beating Antalyaspor with 3:0 scoreline with huge help and good performance by team goalscorer Bafetembi Gomis.
After Fenerbahce has won Basaksehirspor at the game yesterday, Galatasaray had an opportunity to get into leadership and keep its 3 points advantage of Fenerbahce and turn out to be also winners from yesterday tie. Galatasaray has started game very clearly with this in mind with providing great confident and organised but same time attacking football. With Bafetembi Gomis scoring 2 goals almost back-to-back has led them to get an important win with later Feghouli setting score for 1st half and for tie. It needs to be stated that following result should not be treated as huge surprise as Galatasaray does show high level performance during this season at the home but its main issues has been away games, and hence Kasimpasa next week could be crucial for them even through their would stay in Istanbul which could turn into advantage.
Antalyaspor meanwhile wasnt able to get into game at all and has allowed Galatasaray to dominate game as their couldnt control ball at all and didnt create dangerous chances without testing Carresso who was replacing booked Muslera.
Galatasaray has once again gained leadership with 13 weeks left until end of the season but with 1st 4 teams being close to each other its very close to figure out who would get title, with Galatasaray having 1 point advantage.
Fenerbahce has won crucial game and has found itself back to title race once again.
Fenerbahce has managed to win an important game against Basaksehirspor during Super League 21st week with 2:0 results with showing great tactical game and not letting leaders of the league to control ball.
Fenerbahce, regardless how much its head coach Aykut Kocaman denies of it being case, did come out to the game where it needed to win if it wanted to carry on its hopes for getting league title. Being aware of that Fenerbahce did come out to the game providing great game both at the attacking side and also defensive side not allowing Basaksehirspor to get into game. Meanwhile, Basaksehirspor with providing following loss to game and also drawing against Konyaspor start showing some signs of getting pressure once again for league title in similar manner as it did during last season. Basaksehirspor player Arda Turan meanwhile didnt manage to provide any impressive game during game and was observed to have lack of being ready physically as a player. Right now Fenerbahce are three points behind league leaders and has found itself right into the title race and has got an important motivational boost to the side.
Fenerbahce would play two crucial games against Alanyaspor and more importantly in 2 weeks time against Besiktas after which it would be gained much more motivational boost with winning both games and even finding itself at the top of league if results go into the way.
Besiktas has changed its mind to postpone Turkish Cup game against Fenerbahce.
Besiktas administrator Safak Mahmutyazicioglu has stated that the team will not request any postponement in upcoming games as it was going through within club to ask to postpone Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game against Fenerbahce due of intense it has in upcoming month.
With Besiktas competing at all competitions it has started during this season and also very hard game game against Bayern Munich in Champions League last 16 and also meeting with Fenerbahce both at the Turkish Cup and Super League could affect negatively to this season in all of the fronts. However, Safak Mahmutyazacioglu has stated that even through there was on-going discussion to postpone game, their had changed their mind to not create any polemics with their arch-rivals Fenerbahce. As it is known Fenerbahce has recently, by some in right manner, about recent actions of TFF with some manipulations been done towards them and Besiktas rightly so were worried that this decision to postpone might also provide some rumours and has decided to keep games. Therefore, Besiktas would have very hard 1 month with having 6 crucial games in this period.
Here comes the big role of Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes who would be expected to provide smart and effective rotation to the team if he wants for his players to be at top physically.

Galatasaray 3:0 Antalyaspor
