What happened in Turkish football today? 25/02/2018



Besiktas had much better control while Fenerbahce has been all over place as game progressed. 

Besiktas has managed to win very crucial Super League game against Fenerbahce as it has won game with 3:1 scoreline and has provided pretty dominating game especially during 2nd half. In other hand, Fenerbahce had very good start of the game but as game progressed has lost entire control of the game with simple mistakes.

Besiktas was aware that it has come out to the Super League 23rd week game which it needed to win or otherwise their chances for league title would be being very vague as point difference with Galatasaray would been 6 points. With taking this around Fenerbahce goal from Fernandao wasnt good news for them and it did affect their performance of 1st leg as it wasnt able to raise their level of performance and some aftermath of Bayern Munich even through not very much did show them visible during game. However, Besiktas has come to their senses sort of speak at 2nd half with possible motivational talk from Senol Gunes at changing room. Domagoj Vida goal was crucial one during game and as Besiktas was taking around the game Ricardo Quaresma has found 2 goals making scoreline 3:1.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce did start game in good manner showing some control of the game and controlling ball and finding goal, even through there is argument that position was an offside. However, as game progresses Fenerbahce has firstly being playing too much at the back of the field and not having control of the game very well. With playing defence game Fenerbahce in 2nd half has lost all contol of the ball with mistakes during passes, taking ball from Besiktas and look all around places. As game progressed, it was visible that Fenerbahce would have trouble to turn game around after 2:1 as mistakes has been raised and their looked weaker and weaker as game progressed.

Besiktas did show good recovery from losing Bayern Munich with 5:0 scoreline and has got well-deserved win while Fenerbahce has chance to get revenge for today results again in Besiktas on 1st March at Turkish Cup semi-final 1st leg game.

Win against Alanyaspor could provide confidence for rest of season for Trabzonspor

After drawing 5 games back to back at the league and losing to Basaksehirspor during last week, Trabzonspor has finally won a game as it has played Alanyaspor with 2:1 scoreline and has got chance to raise up at the table at least for Europa League spot.

It needs to be still state that during most part of the game, more precise for about an hour, Alanyaspor was leaidng game as it has found an early goal against their opponent and has managed to keep game at control even through Trabzonspor has been more dominating game. With Abdulkadir Omur meanwhile finding 2nd goal, it is still visible that Turkish player, with lion share been taken by Burak Yilmaz, has been dominating by them and team does good job to keep national players at good form.
However, as been stated Burak Yilmaz is been main goalscorer of the team and for him to recieve yellow card which means he would be missing Besiktas game could provide into attacking performance against strong opponents during next week game. Still, with Trabzonspor getting its 1st win of 2018 it would be able to get much needed motivation for rest of the games in this season.

Trabzonspor would be playing against Besiktas during next week and with Besiktas without doubt having difficult schedule, Trabzonspor could use its opportunity from tired opponents.

Unfair refereeing debate is been heated at Turkish football once again. 

Talks about referees performances has been taken place once again at the Turkish football as we are getting into the point where every game is getting important and we are having very exciting title race as 4 teams are at the middle of the fight for title.

Those teams coaches and administration have been stated that their dont mind for mistakes to be taking place but mainly complain about continuity arguing that in same game same referee gives them foul or card for one incident but ignores opponents same behaviour. Quite reasonably, those personalities argue that this leads game to be played in unequal manner and have direct impact to scoreline of the game. This talks of course has been taken for long time in Turkish and in fact across world where there is expectation for referees to have standards to follow. Meanwhile, as it is known both Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes and Fenerbahce coach Aykut Kocaman has been referred to PFDK for their comments prior to today's derby game, which does show that TFF are unhappy for this arguments to take into such matter.

What is crucial here without doubt for TFF, Central Referee Committee and referees themselves to focus more into this question as their are been cases where mistakes of referees has been made. There must be a way to improve performance of referees and reduce mistakes.
