What happened in Turkish football today? 20/09/2018

Fenerbahce has started its Europa League with very poor performance. 

Fenerbahce has started Europa League campaign with very dissapointing manner as it has lost to Dinamo Zagreb with 4:1 scoreline with providing very poor performance and not being able to raise its tempo during whole game.

Fenerbahce during whole game has provided very poor performance playing very slowly without controlling neither tempo and passing around which has helped Dinamo Zagreb to control level of the game and find chances and goals as game has progressed. Their seems to be quality factor at the Fenerbahce with players not providing fighting spirit during the game at all and has failed get into game at all. It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce was coming out as stronger favourite with level of the players compare to Croatian side, but Dinamo Zagreb has provided much more better performance. Only period of the performance during start of the 2nd half has been started game very effectively and has found goal with Roman Neustadner and has carried on at some moments but has ended this performance. In fact, only time when Fenerbahce has shown an attacking game it has found goal apart of that it didnt show any performance to show that team could have won game. Fenerbahce does look to be team without providing an effective game.

Dinamo Zagreb did provide great game with much more organised and has managed to get goals easily when their wanted and has dominated game and without doubt has got well deserved win against Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce carries on poor performance in this season and does look like it would have very difficult period at the game against Besiktas on 24th September and this performance would lead to Besiktas an easy win.

Besiktas has started Europa League with a win against Sarbsporg 08.

Besiktas has started its Europa League campaign against Norwegian side Sarpsborg 08 with 3:1 scoreline even through it took them to wait for 2nd half to start finding goals and get full dominance of the game.

Games against teams like Sarbsborg can always be tough ones as those sides even through are expected to be at worser quality their are capable of providing unsuspecting surprise due of limited knowledge about them. And it does look like Besiktas couldnt get much into the mood of the game as even through it did found some good chances but didnt manage to turn them. With Ryan Babel entering to the field during 2nd half the team has improved its performance after that and has shown much attacking game with Babel finding goal at the 51st minute. With finding 1st goal and playing at home without doubt Besiktas has become more confident against its poor side and has provided much more better attacking game with finding goals later from Roco and also Jeremain Lens. Only down side that it has conceded at the additional time right prior to the end of the game but at least it has found an important win at game which it needed to win and started campaign where it aims to get to the final with a win.

Sarpsborg on other hand has shown pretty reasonable performance during its 1st game at competition and did control game during 1st half and also found goal. Still quality factor between side was visible as game has ended.

Besiktas did start competition with 3 points and would now look forward for Fenerbahce derby game at the league on 24th September.

Akhisarspor did provide some positive view despite of loss to Krasnodar. 

Akhisarspor without doubt has come out to very historical game for them as their had met against
Krasnodar which is much more experienced to their opponents and has lost game with minumum scoreline of 1:0.

Experience factor did play an important role and also taking account that Akhisarspor did play with caretaker coach did make them to come out at the game in pretty bad condition and hence ending game with minumum scoreline with all this circumstances will not especially be seen as bad result for them. It needs to be also noted that it also has created some chances as the game was progressing and did show some brave football wanting to win. With this taking account and also being weakest team at the group, this are an important view which side has shown during game and gave signs that their would be aiming to get best from the competitions. It needs ot be also stated that Yevhen Seleznyov with his experience and also familiar with Russian football did show some good performance and did take role of the leader in pretty successful manner for sure. So Akhisarspor did show some confident game.

As been stated, Krasnodar did come out with much experience and this factor did play its role during game and has controlled game with only finding goal from Claesson. Their would be happy to get this win and start Europa League with away win.

Akhisarspor did get some important experience from this game and did provide view it would be aiming to show some brave football in upcoming games.
