What happened in Turkish football today? 08/04/2018


Mathieu Valbuena and referee has brought win to Fenerbahce. 

Fenerbahce has got an important win at its home ground against team which is located at relegated zone - Osmanlispor with 2:0 scoreline as entrance of Mathieu Valbuena has played main role for getting win with providing much open game game from him.

It needs to be stated that inclusion of Mathieu Valbuena during 2nd half has led for Fenerbahce to get a win and has become most active player even if he didnt find goal at the end of the day. It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce did start game in hard way as Osmanlispor which came out to at worst get draw as respected has been focussed mainly to defensive and as Fenerbahce didnt have any creative players at the 1st half couldnt find many chances and game has been played in boring manner. Meanwhile, assistant referee needs to be congratulated to be able to see a goal from Martin Skrtel which did pass goal line and has led for Osmanlispor to have high amount of players to state that it wasnt goal and lost energyr which only led them to have loss of concentration hence conceding 2nd goal. This position once again reminds of VAR system as it could close topic and might not lead Osmanlispor for this high amount of protests from them.

Osmanlispor it needs to be stated didnt provide great performance and even through did show good defensive game especially at 1st half it does shown some weaknesses at attack from today game but it needs to be reminded that prior to game Osmanlispor did win 5 games and might be looking to find similar performance in upcoming weeks.

Fenerbahce still maanged to stay at title race as their opponents would play against each other and even through their are weakest link at this title race their are still having some chances to get title if their opponents would lose games, which their didnt do in last 2 weeks.

Besiktas has got motivational boost following Goztepe win.

Besiktas carries on its aim to get title back-to-back for 3rd season as it has managed to get comfortable win against Goztepe with 5:1 scoreline where both sides has been playing an open and attacking game.

It needs to be reminded that Besiktas had high number of injuries prior to game and hence didnt come out at its best squad for the difficult opponent but with all players giving their best at the field believing into getting title has led for Besiktas to show calmer game which was expected prior to start of the game. Another factor which certainly did play in hand for Besiktas has also been to also show open attacking game and due of quality gap present which makes Besiktas to be stronger side has led them to get such scoreline. It was mistake to have too much confidence with showing an attacking game as open game is style of play which is suitable for Besiktas and has allowed them to find 5 goals especially after 2nd goal. Stating that it did have some worries after scoreline 3:1 when Demba Ba has almost found goal. Still, one of the most happy factors has been goal from Cyle Larin who has scored with his 1st touch at Super League.

This win for Besiktas does put high motivational boost for last 6 games of this season and hence it would be looking forward to get wins and hope for opponents to lose points and it still would win against Galatasaray at their home ground.

Trabzonspor has got advantage for crucial 5th spot with win against Kayserispor. 

With some clubs fighting for Europa League spot at the Super League, Trabzonspor has won very important game against Kayserispor and with also their others opponents losing points during this week it has now found itself 4 point advantage at the top position with 18 points left maximum to gain in this season.

Trabzonspor without doubt has improved its level of performance in recent weeks and does aim to end season in good form which was expected from them prior to season. Unless, Akhisarspor does surprisingly win Turkish Cup, 5th place team would be able to get Europa League spot with as been stated Trabzonspor has upper hand right now for that position. One of the positive aspects of this result of 4:0 has also been that all goals have been come from Turkish players with Burak Yilmaz finding 2 and Abdulkadir Omur and Okay Yokuslu finding goals each. The factor of getting 5th spot should certainly provide motivational boost for last 6 games as it would not meet with specifically difficult opponents and have all focus to those games.

It would be seen if it would manage to get that spot but right now team does look like motivated and confident to be able to recieve that.
