What happened in Turkish football today? 12/05/2018
Galatasaray is 1 point behind league title as it would be meeting against Goztepe during last week.
Galatasaray has managed to win game at its last game of the season home ground against Yeni Malatyaspor with finding two early goals and afterwards has controlled game until end of the game. With winning game with 2:0 scoreline it is now 1 point away title as it would be meeting against Goztepe last week of season.
Galatasaray showing great performance during home ground during whole season and has shown this dominance with an attacking start of the game as it has found goal from 1st attack during game as Belhanda has found goal at 40th second of the game with Belhanda scoring 2nd goal during 12th minute. It was clear that it was plan for Galatasaray to find two early goals and afterwards take control of the game with providing pressure towards Yeni Malatyaspor. If this tactic didnt work it would be high chance that Galatasaray could have some problems as game progressed therefore Galatasaray has managed to do what it is needed. Even through after finding two early goals and especially during 2nd half it did look like Galatasaray has reduced their tempo and effectiveness it is without doubt that their had control of the game and could raise tempo at any moment of the game. Full focus of the Galatasaray would be given to get at worst 1 point from Goztepe during last week game as it has got very close right now for this title which would be their 21st title for this reason.
It needs to be noted that with all of the respect towards Yeni Malatyaspor it did have low chances to win this game with how Galatasaray dominates at the games which is played at home ground. Even through it did look like Yeni Malatyaspor did get control of the game, it was Galatasaray which has allowed them.
With winning today's by Galatasaray, it is know only 1 point until league title as it would be meeting against Goztepe at the last week and would now focus for not making such an unexpected mistake.
Basaksehirspor would still fight for league title during last week game.
Basaksehirspor has managed to stay at the title chances as it has managed to win Antalyaspor with 2:0 scoreline despite of not showing good chances and would hope for Galatasaray to make a mistake in the last week against Goztepe.
Basaksehirspor it needs to be noted had pretty difficult game before it has met with Antalyaspor as it has drawn dramatically against Sivasspor during last week and also has had 4-game ban towards Mossoro and 16-game ban towards Arda Turan. This factor has certainly has affected into how Basaksehirspor has been performed as Antalyaspor has been better side during game at the sense of the attacks but with quality factor playing role Basaksehirspor has managed to provide much more better attacking game as it has found 2 goals. This win, even through wasnt very impressive, does show that team is still focussed and believes to league title. Basaksehirspor would need to win against Kasimpasa as been stated and since it has advantage against Galatasaray between both teams and hence if Galatasaray loses to Goztepe at the last week would make them champions. Hence, both games would start at the same time it would now need to focus for this last game and provide its best performance.
Basaksehirspor as always been stated has been team improving by each season and would want to get league title this season with luck from last week games but it would need a lot of luck.
Besiktas would play against Osmanlispor knowing that it would not get league title.
With Besiktas losing its chances for league title as Galatasaray has won Yeni Malatyaspor and made point difference 7 points, Besiktas would still aim to get Champions League spot or at worst 3rd spot at the Europa League with aiming to win last 2 games, starting with Osmanlispor.
Besiktas would have a difficult game as it would be playing against team which would need to win tomorrow's game if it wants to stay at the Super League for next season. Taking account that Besiktas would be coming to the game being aware that their chances for league title is not possible and also chances for top 3 are not very high would have difficult game to play. Besiktas would of course would stay aim to be focussed for the game until end of the season and would aim to get 2 wins after those games but as been mentioned it would be hard to focus for this games until end of the season. Osmanlispor might not be more motivated for the game but their concentration would be expected to be more concentrated and this would be expected to be affect how game would be presented therefore it is slightly more advantageous in psychological factors.
It needs to be noted therefore that it would be interesting how Besiktas would be responding for those upcoming games with losing league title and having chances for top 3 not very high as their opponents would be fighting for league title.
