What happened in Turkish football today? 06/02/2018

Besiktas has got into semi-final from advantage of 1st leg against Genclerbirligi.

Besiktas has used its advantage from 1st leg of Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg during 2nd game as it has won with single goal from Mustafa Pektemek during 25th minute as both team head coaches has met following intense game last week.

Besiktas has treated game in the way which it would be doing at the away game after winning 1st leg with 3:1 scoreline and has controlled game from start to an end without providing much hope for Genclerbirligi to get into game and find goals as it has some hope from 1st leg away goal. Besiktas as expected has come out with rotation squad with confident scoreline from 1st leg and also crucial games coming up both at the league and also as it would be meeting Bayern Munich in exactly 2 weeks time. Without doubt Senol Gunes would be glad that team has got into semi-final stage of the Turkish Cup as the team needed motivational boost especially from situation its at the league and also drawing against Bursaspor during last week.

Genclerbirligi head coach Umit Ozat meanwhile has promised that team would be providing an extra performance against Besiktas during this game but he has failed to do so and with good performance of Besiktas didnt manage to turn around game.

Meanwhile, Besiktas would be meeting with winner of the winner of Fenerbahce and Giresunspor tie but with 1st leg game has ended with 2:1 scoreline which could mean the game could end with big derby game.

Trabzonspor has got 4th draw back-to-back as Beto has declined all shots during game.

Trabzonspor has joined to other top teams during Super League 20th week as it has managed to get a win against Goztepe at the game where Goztepe goalkeeper Beto has disallowed in total of 9 shots to goal.

Trabzonspor has come out to win game and was aiming to end its draw period which it was having, which it has raised to 4 following this result. However, compare to previous games Trabzonspor actually shown much more attacking game going forward and controlling game and making it clear that their wanted to win game. Goztepe on other hand did provide poor performance and needs to say thanks to its player Beto who has helped them to have 1 point and still aiming for Europa League spot at least at current stage of the league. Trabzonspor head coach Riza Calimbay following game has stated that if Burak Yilmaz did play during the game their might even get 2-3 goals but this is unclear as Beto has dominated game from start to end.

Right now, Trabzonspor would be aiming to find solutions to end its draw streak it is enjoying right now and start winning streak as it still can find itself at league title race directly with following season.

Giresunspor have chance to get to the semi-final in game against Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce would be returning to Turkish Cup as it would be playing against Giresunspor during 2nd leg quarter-final with minumum scoreline of 2:1 which does put following tie open for ticket to last 4.

Fenerbahce would be playing an important game during Super League 21st week and this game has an opportunity to find solutions and possibly test condition of recently recovered players including Neto and Giuliano as their role in upcoming weeks would be crucial for title race. Meanwhile,
Giresunspor has appointed today its new head coach Yilmaz Vural which even through would mean that he will not get adapted to game within 1 day still could make extra motivation for a team which happens with an appointment of new coach. First goal for both sides would be crucial as Fenerbahce would almost end this tie while Giresunspor goal could lead them to find an away goal which would give them ticket to semi-final where it would be meeting Besiktas.

This game promises to be with full excitement as its still open as Giresunspor only team from lower league aiming to show historical competition at the tournament while it seeks prmotion to Super League at its own league.
