What happened in Turkish football today? 03/02/2019


Shinji Kagawa had got perfect start as Besiktas got comfortable win against Antalyaspor. 

Besiktas has got an comfortable win during Super League 20th week game against Antalyaspor where Shinji Kagawa with coming on the field during 82nd minute has managed to score 2 goals when time has come to 84th minute. However, Besiktas has dominated whole game prior to entrance to Kagawa.

Following not a perfect start to the 2019, it was obvious that Besiktas did come out to the game to get a win as it was coming to an important of the season and has aimed to keep its aims for at least runners-up position for Champions League upcoming season. Even through it is obvious that Simonji Kagawa would be taking all of the highlights as it is being his 1st game with 2 goals, it needs to be noted that Adem Ljajic who ws substituted for Kagawa has also shown great performance and has played an important role for such comfortable win against Besiktas. It needs to be noted also that whole team has provided strong concentration to the game and has been provided forward-seeking game which has been not seen much often from Besiktas in recent seasons and did come to the point which Besiktas supporters has missed without doubt. Only down side which could be observed from Besiktas is that it didnt provide high level performance and did allow Antalyaspor to have some hope after turning game to 3:1 for 16 minutes, but own goal from Salih Dursun has led Antalyaspor to lose concentration and all hope.

Antalyaspor main reason and problem during losing game with 6:2 is being affected from conceded goals during 2 halves which has affected to team confidence and performance as prior to conceding goals in 2 halves it did provide reasonable well team. Antalyaspor does go through difficult period and poor performances and it need to find solutions to get back results as soon as it can.

Besiktas did get an important result with comfortable scoreline where Besiktas players has provided strong attacking game and Simonji Kagawa has shown perfect start at his journey at the league for sure.

Galatasaray players didnt show full concentration to Alanyaspor game.

Even through their is strong belief and expectation that Galatasaray is main opponent towards Basaksehirspor at the title race during this reason, it needs to be noted that Istanbul giant has lost crucial 2 points against Alanyaspor during 20th week game of the league.

Apart of losing points, Galatasaray has provided pretty poor performance not having that speed and focus which has been visible at all of the game during this calendar year which as been noted could be also led for Fatih Terim starting game with Kostas Mitrogolou and Christina Luyindama as players have joined team 2 days after arriving to Istanbul and could not show any adaptation to the side. It also needs to be noted that Alanyaspor on their hand have shown good detirmined game which has also made their opponents to have difficult time. Following game it was visible that somehow players didnt have high focus and concentration towards game which would be strong surprise for a team which is fighting currently for league title. In addition, Galatasaray carries on showing some poor performance at away games. As was noted beforehand Galatasaray has been praised for performance in last 2 league games but yesterday performance does show some weaknesses and from now on it cant afford to lose points much as Basaksehirspor raises point difference.

With Galatasaray would be focussing to Hatayspor game at the Turkish Cup quarter-final tie right now, it would have an important game agaisnt Trabzonspor and this performance will not be enough against Black Sea side.

Trabzonspor has regained motivation with a win against Ankaragucu. 

Trabzonspor has managed to get an important 3 points against Ankaragucu, but it wasnt an easy game at all as Ankara side has provided its best performance for last 2 months and done everything to get a point.

In the side of Trabzonspor, this win would be very important mark for them taking acocunt of many internal issues which it has and would be recieving high motivation prior to important Galatasaray next week, even through it would be playing against Umraniyespor at the Turkish Cup quarter-final tie. Trabzonspor did provide a fast-tempo start and did find an early goal which has led them to win game but with Ankaragucu providing strong resistance afterwards and also Black Sea side failing to convert some chances it did have some difficult time but it did stay focussed and did get an important 3 points. Without doubt, next week game against Galatasaray would provide some route for their own aims for rest of the season as the result would help to understand if their can provide race for 2nd place Champions League or should aim for Europa League spot for the rest of the season but this win would provide motivation which it did lose slightly in recent weeks.

Trabzonspor needed this win and it came with help of Hugo Rodallega and with having some injured players it does provide great performances without doubt so far this season.
