What happened in Turkish football today? 24/11/2018


Besiktas has got a comfortable win against Ankaragucu.

Besiktas has managed to get pretty comfortable win against Ankaragucu as it has won Super League 13th week game with 4:1 scoreline even through it was expected that Besiktas could have a tough game due of form of their opponents.

It needs to be noted that disallowed goal from VAR during 17th minute has provided some more motivation from Besiktas as 2 goals between 23rd and 27th minute has become key for Istanbul side to get this win. It could also been stated that Besiktas did show one of their best games during this season and certainly in recent period as side has been focussed to go forward as among playing one of their opponents which is located at the table, this game has been also by team to be able to start new beginning to start series of victories until end of the season including crucial game this week at Europa League and also upcoming derby game against Galatasaray taking place next week. It needs to be stated that one of the key players of the game has also been Adem Ljajic who has been criticised for not being effective. In addition, it was an important win for Besiktas taking account that side didnt have some of its key players due of injuries, and has come with much younger side in recent weeks.

Ankaragucu who has changed stadium at last notice to play at Kayseri due of poor conditions which has been stated from TFF, it does need to be stated that Ankaragucu wasnt able to provide strong defence against Besiktas and even through did try to carry on showing positive football, it wasnt able to provide strong competition at today's game.

Besiktas has managed to win an important win against Ankaragucu and has got an important motivation and confidence for upcoming games coming up next week at Europa League and also derby game.

Relationships with Galatasaray and TFF has become even more uneasy following wrong penalty decision.

Turkish Super League 13th week game between Galatasaray and Konyaspor has sadly been mainly remembered by unexpectable mistake from referee of the game and also VAR as it has provided penalty kick which didnt happen.

During 87th minute of the game as Galatasaray was winning game with 1:0 scoreline, Bursaspor player Skubic was coming to opponent goal but was stopped by Serdar Aziz who has touched ball in clean manner. However, referee of the game has decided to give penalty kick. It is true that referee can make mistake during the game but he has connected to the VAR referees which as all football viewers could see that penalty didnt take place but in strange way has told to referee that decision has been right and didnt ask him to check position at the VAR screen. It became known that TFF would view this incident and listen to conversation between referees at such position, and will provide strong punishment to side who is wrong at this position on 27th November. Coming to the game also, it is hard to state that Galatasaray has provided great performance during game and Konyaspor did show some good performance. It is hard to state that Galatasaray has deserved to win game as goal has come from own goal. But stating that, Galatasaray didnt need to lose its 2 points in way its did yesterday.

Galatasaray relationship with TFF which has arleady been in conflicted manner and with high arguments, has went into much more difficult situation as administration of the team has provided strong criticism and also players and caretaker coach Levent Sahin not providing post-game statements.

Both Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce need to win this derby game. 

Without doubt, one of the most anticipated game at the Super League 13th week game would be taken place on 25th November between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce, as both sides would be coming out to game which their need to win.

With Fenerbahce arleady losing high amount of the points during this season and currently are 14 points behind league leaders of Basaksehirspor while Trabzonspor is showing unstable performance and are 12 points again leaders, this both teams need to win game to at least able to fight for top position while loss would provide incredible damage to rest of the season. Coming to the recent performance of the teams and also mood of the team, it should be stated that Fenerbahce would be coming as favourite as it slowly with coming of Erwin Koeman into main role of the team, side has shown great performance while Trabzonspor during same period didnt get single win. Among other aspects would be situation at the stadium, as Trabzonspor supporters still remember match-fixing scandal and its belief of winning 2010-11 title and hence the game would be played at high tension even clubs does show friendship mood prior to game, with Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc would be coming to Trabzonspor with being 1st CEO to visit game since 2011.

The game is expected to be pretty tactical as both sides would not like to lose but once again with recent performance of both sides, Fenerbahce does look to be slightly favourite to win game.
