Galatasaray lost its leadership as it lost another away game this time against Kasimpasa.
Galatasaray has lost another away game this time against Kasimpasa with 2:1 scoreline as it has lost leadership after the game as Basaksehirspor won against Trabzonspor earlier on the day. With having same points also this result has made one of the losers of the week but made title race certainly more exciting.
Actually Galatasaray did start game in very good way with dominating game and creating number of the chances and also finding goals and in fact could find 2nd as the game progressed as their opponents didnt show great performance. However, penaly goal which was scored by Kasimpasa towards end of 1st half has led Galatasaray dominance at the game and things didnt go at all their planned for rest of the game without showing much impressive game during 2nd half. Usually for big teams when its concedes goal it tends to show reaction and perform better but for some reason team didnt show that reaction or more precise shown opposite direction. Without doubt one of the biggest worry has been Bafetembi Gomis feeling unwell during game. This issue was known before he was transferred but it has shown in serious manner 1st time in this season and does raise some question about health conditions of Gomis as it would be even criticised for team to let him play regardless him wanting to.
Kasimpasa which didnt had at all great start to the game has managed to start dominating game as it found legitimate penalty kick and afterwards without double start showing much more brave and attacking football which led them found an winning goal.
Galatasaray needs to improve its performance at away games if it wants to get league title as their main opponents would do their best to get points for rest of 12 points as Galatasaray might not have chance to recover those points.
Basaksehirspor has got an important win against Trabzonspor.
After failing to win last 2 games, Basaksehirspor has managed to win Trabzonspor with single goal from Adebayor and in same time has ended draw series of 5 games of its opponents. With following result Basaksehirspor has regained its strong title race in this season.
It needs to be stated however that Basaksehirspor did have some issues of getting control of the game as it did in previous two games and game wise did show some weak areas but strong defensive performance didnt allow their opponents to find goal as their have shown better game.
Basaksehirspor player Emmanuel Adebayor goal on 39th minute without doubt has been very crucial for a team as it would keep their dream for league title this season and also possibly affect positively for upcoming games during this season. Statistically also, games in Trabzon for Istanbul clubs has always been difficult including for Basaksehirspor so it was important for them to win game and get motivational boost for upcoming games. Time would show if this result would provide possitive impact to the in near future.
Meanwhile, with Trabzonspor getting results in last 5 games it has also got from strong opponents and in most games actually shown good performance. Therefore, there was some positive awaiting for this game and it did start this game in such way. In fact, Trabzonspor in game wise has been looked better with controlling ball and tempo and creating high number of the chances including good chance of Burak Yilmaz who as been stated above is player who does most goal-scoring of team. Trabzonspor head coach Riza Calimbay could be satisfied with his team performance but would very sad for result as team is losing crucial points and with getting far from title race has also risk not to compete at Europa League.
Coming to title race, without doubt this game has been even more crucial for Basaksehirspor with only getting 1 point from last 2 games and their needed to get this win which their did even through it wasnt easy task.
Fenerbahce has got calm win prior to crucial Besiktas derby game.
Fenerbahce has provided an important win against struggling Alanyaspor as this win was especially important for a team to fight for league title and also got motivation prior to next game against Besiktas which is crucial for two teams.
It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce players and head coach Aykut Kocaman has come out to the game and prepared to get a win without doubt even through it did get time for them in 1st half to get into the game. Still quality performance both by Giuliano and Fernandao has allowed team to get into 2:0 scoreline prior to the half-time and get more or less what their wanted. With this scoreline and also help of penalty goal from Giuliano during 60th minute has led team to control ball for most part of the 2nd half and provide much better attacking time. Even through talking about high places for Alanyaspor was never case it was difficult opponent due of Vagner Love, but as their sold him to the Besiktas in mid-season it does look like it would have big issues at attack and it was visible at game yesterday.
Right now, as our blog stated yesterday Fenerbahce would provide their all focus to the Besiktas to be played next week and as compare to Besiktas it would have whole week to prepare it would be able to be more fresh to the game.
