What happened in Turkish football today? 18/03/2018


Basaksehirspor has been main winner of this week among title contenders. 

Basaksehirspor has got very important win against Besiktas during Super League 26th week with goal from Eljero Elia and has got 1 point closer to the Galatasaray as it has provided high level concentration towards game which led them to provide well-organised game and didnt allow Besiktas to provide their own game.

With Basaksehirspor had drop from previous weeks at this season there was worry from their viewpoint that it might not be able to provide needed football against in-form Besiktas but with game how it has followed and Basaksehirspor has provided huge and important improvement from last week. Basaksehirspor has become biggest winner of this week and might be showing that Galatasaray draw would be able to provide them issues. Basaksehirspor has gained much important confidence which it would needed for last weeks. Meanwhile,one of the main heroes of the game for Basaksehirspor has been Emmanuel Adebayor who is taking leadership role at the team and has been providing great game both with assists and finding chances. It also needs to be admired that even without one man their had shown great performance. If it provides similar performance at the upcoming weeks then its aim for league title can turn into reality.

Meanwhile, in other side Besiktas has shown very poor performance especially during 1st half against Basaksehirspor and has been very far from its usual performance and has shown lack of also attacking football. This has been one of the few games during this season, and possibly only one during this season,when Besiktas didnt create any shots into the goal. Even when it has shown an attacking game from 2nd half and has been pushing into goals after red card of Caicara has failed to find an important goal from lacking performance of attackers. In fact, absence at the team of Cenk Tosun has been felt pretty strong at this game. Besiktas with being 5 points behind league leaders is stll at the title race but did lose 2 points from Besiktas. Still, Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes would be very unhappy for this performance and would use this opportunity of national team break to use into their advantage with 8 weeks left until end of the season.

Basaksehirpsor as been stated has been main winner from this week of the Super League as it has only been only winner among league contenders and would be entering last 8 weeks with high confidence.

Trabzonspor has got confident win against Yeni Malatyaspor. 

Trabzonspor has managed to get confident win against Yeni Malatyaspor with 4:1 scoreline with big help from its star player Yusuf Yazici who has managed to score 2 goals in duration of 2 minutes during 2nd half and carries on its aim for Europa League spot.

It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor finding 4 goals has also showed great attacking game and has controlled game for most amount of the time at its home ground and has focussed to provide great end of the league. With taking account that team does have some crucial economical issues this performance without doubt has been very important and Trabzonspor head coach Riza Calimbay did good job to keep players more focussed into performance of the game and dont worry much about administrative issues. With Burak Yilmaz only finding 1 goal at this game, the team slowly managed to spread around goals with other players which is good news for the team in upcoming weeks. It is important to note therefore that team is in high concentration mood right now and has gained huge motivation from this last two weeks.

In other hand, Yeni Malatyaspor didnt manage to provide much difficult time towards Trabzonspor and even through did turn game to 1:1 at good time it wasnt able to control game much at 2nd half and has led Trabzonspor to get such confident manner.

Trabzonspor would now have around 2 weeks to get prepared for Galatasaray game which could be very important game for both sides and it would be aiming to provide some difficult time to its opponents.

Galatasaray has got control of title with draw against Fenerbahce while their opponents need to wait for loss of points from their opponents. 

Turkish El Clasico game has been ended with goalless draw and didnt provide much excitement which has been awaited for number of the fans during all this week as it was expected to provide an important fight for league title between two sides.

As been stated several times during this week, Galatasaray getting draw against at Fenerbahce with taking account that it has 6 point advantage and would end week as league leaders prior to international national break with an addition of not winning at Kadikoy for 19 years would be seen a good result for them. It needs to be stated that Galatasaray did have number of the chances especially during last minutes of the game and could have gained an important win in historical manner and also get league title aim even more closer. In other hand, Fenerbahce has also some good chances during game and has been close to get an important win. Therefore, without doubt Fenerbahce goalkeeper Volkan Demirel and Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera has ended up being heroes of the game and played most important role for game to end with drawless result. Meanwhile, referee of the game did show poor performance and has lost control of the game without providing cards and penalties even through and luckily for him there wasnt much tension raised at game.

So as been stated, Galatasaray has become winner as for league title it only needs to win all games while Fenerbahce among having same task would need to wait for loss of points from all 3 opponents as there is maximum 24 points to be gained for both sides.
