What happened in Turkish football today? 05/02/2017


Trabzonspor didnt manage to pass Beto even through it dominated game.

Turkish Super League 20th week game between Trabzonspor and Goztepe has been ended with goalless draw at the game where Trabzonspor has shown dominating football with finding chances but couldnt find an important goal.

Trabzonspor has provided an attacking game from start to end as it was looking for crucial goal and get advantage as upper teams apart of Kayserispor has lost points during this week and could find themselves at the league title race once again. However, Goztepe player Beto who has been purchased to reduce amount of the conceded goals and that what he has just done that with saving 9 crucial balls coming to net. Trabzonspor it needs to be stated didnt have much trouble at creating chances and get control of the game. Therefore, without doubt Trabzonspor head coach Riza Calimbay and team supporters would be satisfied with their team performance even through their would feel dissapointed that their didnt find goal and didnt show creative ways to find goals as it couldnt pass goalkeeper. Right now team would need to find ways how to end its streak of draws which has risen to 4 games.

Goztepe selling of Adis Jahovic towards Konyaspor has led for a team to have lack of finding goal chances and also losing a creativity at the attack but in upper side it has great goalkeeper who has saved 9 shots today and would at least make sure that team will not concede much goals in upcoming games.

Trabzonspor does manage to show an attacking game however it needs to find solutions to win games as it gets draws back-to-back those draws as unstable league still could mean that team could go up and find itself at title race if it gets results which it seeks for.

Galatasaray had lots of weaknesses at midfield area against Sivasspor.

Galatasaray has failed to get leadership at the Super League when all of the league title opponents have lost points as it has lost in surprising manner against Sivasspor during 20th week game.

Even through it could be argued how surprising should be treated as Sivasspor so far during this season has managed to win all of the top teams at its home ground and hence provided some serious moments. Without doubt Sivasspor has deserved this win at the game but as Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim has stated following the game he was really dissapointed with performance of the team as their didnt show great performance. It does look for now that selling Badou N'diaye was big mistake and also injury of the Fernando has left their midfield in very poor condition which hence allowed Sivasspor to create good chances. It does look like Galatasaray needs to find solutions for those issue and 2nd leg game against Konyaspor at Turkish Cup game is good opportunity for them without doubt.

This was also first loss for Fatih Terim since he has become coach of the team and he needs to find solution at the midfield if he doesnt want to have them a lot in this title race with 15 games left at the Super League.

Genclerbirligi would be motivated for Turkish Cup 2nd leg game against Besiktas. 

Following 1st leg games at the Turkish Cup, Besiktas has recieved most comfortable scoreline against Genclerbirligi but it needs to be aware that tie is not over yet as their opponents would be coming out with good motivation.

Genclerbirligi without doubt has recieved lots of motivational boost following draw against Fenerbahce and with Umit Ozat tends to be annoyed at some behaviours of top teams and referees, might turn into this anger into his profit as he manages to control it. It could be seen that from situation following 1st leg game has led for him to get extra focus and motivation for Fenerbahce and now he could turn this into his advantage. Besiktas meanwhile needs to improve from their performance against Bursaspor during last week game, not only to get to the semi-final stage but with Bayern Munich game being almost 2 weeks away and its time for team to find best solutions for that game. It does look like Cenk Tosun not being at the team affects them.

Coming to the game. Besiktas would be coming out as favourite both with 1st leg score and also overall strength but it needs to be remembered that Genclerbirligi would be coming out with belief that it can get targeted 2:0 scoreline against Besiktas.
