What happened in Turkish football today? 26/02/2019


Umraniyespor has made history as it has beat Trabzonspor with 3:1 scoreline. 

Umraniyespor carries on providing suprising results at the Turkish Cup as it has beaten Trabzonspor with 3:1 scoreline during 2nd leg and has qualified to semi-final stage with same aggregate scoreline with providing organised and forward seeking performance.

It needs to be noted that Trabzonspor did come out as strong favourite for a game as it was seen as 2nd favourite to win Turkish Cup and was expected to the semi-final stage, but it has been relegated by surprising side of the season Umraniyespor. It needs to be stated however with drawing 1st leg with 0:0 scoreline it was expected that it would be having tough time at away game. Stating that Trabzonspor has been one who has scored goal thanks to Nwakaeme during 30th minute game and has managed to provide good performance in recent of 1st half and was very close to score 2nd goal. However, Umraniyespor did come out to the 2nd leg game in total different focus, and goals which has come from Umraniyespor especially after 2nd goal by Altintas from penalty has led team to lose concentration and has led to lose game. Trabzonspor meanwhile carries on providing poorer performance compare to 1st half of the season and does have risk of staying outside of Europa League zone also at the end of the season.

Umraniyespor meanwhile has provided a great performance with being surprising side and has been 1st time from lower division to be at semi-final of Turkish Cup for long time and to some extend are close to final as it would be playing with winner of Akhisarspor and Kasimpasa, which in all respect are not in same level as Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor.

Umraniyespor has marked history for sure with getting to the semi-final stage and has proved also to everyone that beating Fenerbahce didnt only come by chance and now surely would focus to the final of the tournament.

Besiktas didnt show any reaction when it started to concede goals.

Without doubt Besiktas has lost 2 important points during Turkish Super League 23rd week game against Fenerbahce, as Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes to provide any active reaction towards changes which was provided by his opponent Ersun Yanal.

Besiktas has provided dominating game during 1st half as it has found 3 goals, two of them coming during 1st 20 minutes, and as Fenerbahce was providing pretty poor performance during 1st half it was even some expectation that Besiktas would win game in a comfortable manner. One of the main mistakes of Besiktas without doubt has been relaxation during 2nd half game which has also been transferred towards supporters of the game which also believed that task has been done. Regardless in what condition is Fenerbahce and in fact how their have started game, Fenerbahce is always dangerous opponent during derby games, and both Besiktas and earlier this season Galatasaray has found out in hard-way with losing 2 points. Besiktas now finds itself 10 points between Basaksehirspor and 4 points behind Galatasaray and chances for league title has been reduced for them a lot.But it needs to get above this trauma and now focus to Kayserispor game which could be also tough for them also.

Besiktas has lost its opportunity by winning Fenerbahce which has been due of poor decisions by Senol Gunes in 2nd half and also relaxation from 3:0 scoreline.

Fenerbahce has showed incredible character during 2nd half. 

Fenerbahce in return has shown incredible comeback during 2nd half against Besiktas, and has provided totally different performance from very poor 1st half and showed great character which comes out during derby games.

Many viewers of the game during 1st half has thought that game is over and in even more crucial very difficult and stressful days would start for a team after game would be over. However, Fenerbahce head coach Ersun Yanal had different thoughts as he provided highly motivated talk towards players at changing room and more crucially has provided some very important changes at the team. Fenerbahce has started providing high level performance with finding 3 goals within 17 minutes and has been team which has lost win as their was chance with Slimani which has hit to the post. Fenerbahce has shown great performance and now has found themselves 1 point ahead from relegation zone and as been stated before at our blog, it would need to start winning games and more importantly provide similar performance for 90 minutes in upcoming games which tends to be also an issue for team for long time including during yesterday's game against Besiktas.

Fenerbahce has gained high motivation and confidence with such historical comeback but it needs to carry on showing high level performance in rest of the season.
