What happened in Turkish football today? 29/11/2018


Besiktas has shown great comeback against Sarpsborg 08

Besiktas has shown great comeback at the Europa League Group J 5th week game against Sarpsborg 08 as it has turned out losing game with 2:0 after conceding during 1st 6 minutes but has managed to find crucial goals during last 30 minutes of the game and get 3:2 win.

With Besiktas being in the blink of elimination with 1-game in hand as each game at this group is being very important and competitive, the belief which was shown by Istanbul side during 2nd half has led team to get one of the most important wins of its season. It needs to be noted however that Besiktas did start game in pretty poor performance during 1st half with conceding first two goals during duration of 6 minutes from simple mistakes from Besiktas goalkeeper Loris Karius and even has almost conceded goal during 8th minute. In fact,those conceded goals took time for Besiktas to get back into high level performance level but as team managed to keep scoreline with 2:0 scoreline and adding performance it has managed to get such an important win at the end of the day. Jeremain Lens without doubt has become hero of the game with finding 2 goals during game including ones at the end of the game and Besiktas right now is at 2nd place at the group.

With Sarbsborg 08 still showing great performance as it did start competition as weakest link at the group with finding 2 early goals and showing an attacking game and being very close to qualify for knockout stages. Stating that their are 2 points behind Besiktas and still have good chances to get to the next stage of the tournament.

Besiktas did show great comeback but still it needs to figure out and study why it has started game in such poor performance and aim to improve performance for last game at the group against Malmo.

Fenerbahce has qualified to knockout stage despite of poor performance.

Fenerbahce has qualified to the next stage of the Europa League with getting goalless draw against Dinamo Zagreb as Spartak Trnava has also drawn against Anderlecht but it needs to be admitted that Fenerbahce has provided very poor performance on the day.

Only player at Fenerbahce which tried to show some positive performance during game has been Michael Frey who aimed to create chances and has done best to create chances for himself but with other players not being to show similar performance. Fenerbahce players didnt create high amount of the chances during game and didnt find any high-attacking moments. To some extend Fenerbahce even through did qualify it has provided very poor performance in all of the games and doesnt provide much hope for the future at the Super League and knockout stages. It does look like that Fenerbahce would carry on similar performance until mid-season break and would need to make high amount of the changes at the football side on mid-season break if it wants to improve its performance.

Meanwhile, Dinamo Zagreb on other side has secured its knockout stage and only needing draw for top place has provided performance according to this result with adding some extra performance during last minutes of the games and has become strongest team at the group with game in hand.

Fenerbahce as been mentioned has provided pretty poor performance despite of qualifying its group and its now important for team to build much better side for knockout stages at the tournament.

Akhisarspor has lost again despite of good performance. 

Akhisarspor has shown another good performance during its Europa League Group J campaign despite of carrying losing games but has managed to end 1st half with 1:0 scoreline but during 2nd half has conceded 2 goals.

With taking account of potential performance which team can perform at Europe and also comparing with how side performs in real life, Akhisarspor has provided most strong performance despite of losing all of the games. It has also shown good attacking game during 1st half and has controlled game and creating high amount of the chances. With remembering that Krasnodar did come out to the game with an aim for a win for knockout stage chances, Akhisarspor should be stated at high note. However, experience has shown its side during 2nd half as Krasnodar start showing much more attacking game and hence has got winning result with its 2 goals scored at the game from Gazinsky and Ari during duration of 8 minutes. Still, Akhisarspor has shown high positive game and should feel proud from its so should its supporters.

Krasnodar in other hand despite of not such great performance during 1st half has shown better performance in 2nd half with also experience of team, which did participate several times at Europa League has got an important 3 points and kept its chances for knockout stage.

Akhisarspor performance does provide some paradox as it has gained 0 point but did manage to show good performance without being scared of its opponents with only exception could be Sevilla 1st game.
