What happened in Turkish football today? 11/03/2018


Galatasaray has won an important game against Konyaspor with showing great fighting spirit.

Galatasaray has managed to turn around the game against Konyaspor with memorable goal from Sinan Gumus as it was losing for most amount of the game with 1:0 scoreline but with attitude which is used with Fatih Terim coaching style has won game with 2:1 scoreline.

With Basaksehirspor losing against Alanyaspor on 9th March and also playing crucial week against Fenerbahce during next week, Galatasaray has good chance to end this week with point difference with 9 games left until of the season. It needs to be noted that Galatasaray without doubt didnnt expect such an early goal from Moke on 2nd minute and has led for panicking and fast attacking game from Galatasaray which was among main reason for Galatasaray to have trouble to find equaliser until 69th minute. However, as game progressed Galatasaray has got control of the game as the game has been developing and has got without doubt well deserved win at the end of the day. Without doubt hero of the game has been Sinan Gumus as he has found a goal at the 87th minute with very classy game and has brought such an important at most important minute and has helped to go to Kadikoy at confident manner.

Konyaspor meanwhile with its new head coach Sergen Yalcin has shown great performance with also showing an attacking game and fighting spirit which could be very important for next 9 games of the league and would help to stay at the league without doubt.

Galatasaray has won with fighting spirit and with huge help from supporters and would now play against Fenerbahce where it didnt win for very long time and with having general an away game phobia it would be having some trouble at game.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against Yeni Malatyaspor prior to derby game.

Fenerbahce has managed to win very important game against Yeni Malatyaspor during Super League 25th week games as the team is currently at the condition not to lose any games especially prior to derby game against Galatasaray.Even through the pace of the game wasnt too fast, it has got what it wanted with tactical game.

As we are entering to the crucial weeks at such close title race, the games of top 4 teams would be mainly focussed into getting result rather than aiming to provide high tempo which does raise some risk during game. Therefore, it could be stated that Fenerbahce still was behind its best performance but with losing last 2 games and playing against team which didnt lose last 4 games with good football it was important for them to focus into critical games. With taking account that Basaksehirspor has lost during game, it was important for Fenerbahce to take such a win and prior to Galatasaray game next week where it gets good results at home it has great chance to find itself at the middle of title race. Coming to game, Fenerbahce has provided great tactical defensive game without focussing too much stress and aiming to create good chances with Fernandao having chance to end game at higher scoreline.

Yeni Malatyaspor had provided also patient football with aiming to control game but when game is played at same tempo, the team with better quality has been coming as better chance to win game. With Yeni Malatyaspor not being able to turn game around it has lost game with 2:0 scoreline.
As been stated, Fenerbahce has gained a good control and have good chance to become strong candidate for league title following next week game against Galatasaray.

Besiktas finds itself at the middle of title race. 

With single goal scored by Talisca during Super League 25th week game against Genclerbirligi, Besiktas has got an important win and found itself right into league title race prior to meeting with Basaksehirspor.

It needs to be stated that Besiktas has dominated game from start to an end with possession of the ball and most players, including Talisca, in overall had lack of the last touches of the game. Therefore, there is still feeling of the absences of Ricardo Quaresma who had not being playing for fine. Stating that it needs to be remembered that Besiktas has won 3 games back -to-back with also improving its game performance at the Super League and has regained crucial motivation for next game against Basaksehirspor with winning 3 games back to back. Time would show if this is enough for league title but it is clear that team is at best period of its performance during whole season. One of the issues which made Besiktas easier, possibly due of its performance, has pushed Genclerbirligi behind the game for 90 minutes so it was clear that it would win game as long as it scores and hence Talisca goal was important as it would make its players happy as things would get into more panicking mode.

Besiktas with such win has found itself right into the middle of league title and would get title if it wins all of the games until end of the season.
