Galatasaray has managed to win Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg game against 1st league opponent Hatayspor with 2:0 scoreline and has got an upper hand of the tie with providing right focus and tempo for the game and preventing at getting surprising result.
Even through for most amount of the game has been played with 1:0 scoreline, Galatasaray had control of the game and has been one which was creating chances for most of the game especially during 1st half. Meanwhile, it was also 1st goal scored by defender Christian Luyindama with great header provided from corner kick and has shown his 1st mark at his new club especially with not very satisfying previous game against Alanyaspor. It was known prior to game that Galatasaray would be providing full concentration towards Turkish Cup especially taking account that among teams left at the competition it is main candidate to win tournament due of its status. Especially taking account that Hatayspor has shown impressive game against Basaksehirspor during previous game has led for Galatasaray to take full concentration. This result of course has shown how much Galatasaray took this game seriousness as it has shown strong attacking game and has led for providing an attacking game until final whistle which could be seen from last minute goal from Sofiane Feghouli. This win would also provide some calmness to Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim whose dad has been passed away this morning.
Hatayspor meanwhile had trouble to provide much opposition to Galatasaray even through their did focus to game into full concentration and aimed to provide some difficulty time. Of course, fast tempo from Galatasaray and early goals did affect plans and motivation for a team.
Galatasaray has got an upper hand at this tie and would be aiming to carry on this focus and performance as was shown during today during 2nd leg game against Hatayaspor as their opponents has lost tie during 2nd leg result.
Baris Alici has got an upper hand for Yeni Malatyaspor against Goztepe cup tie.
Yeni Malatyaspor has managed to win Turkish Cup quarter-final 1st leg game against Goztepe with a minimum scoreline thanks to great goal by Baris Alici who has scored fast goal from individual fast tempo and it should be stated that Yeni Malatyaspor did show better performance.
Yeni Malatyaspor was coming out as favourite during this tie against Goztepe due of better performance at the recent weeks at the league and does provide high level performance and without doubt has high aims during this Turkish Cup. Even through it needs to be stated that Goztepe has also shown pretty attacking during game and has been aiming to create some of the chances and provide some dangerous chances. Stating that both sides has been provided careful game as it was 1st leg game at such important game as both sides would be seeing Turkish Cup as short cut to the Europa League rather than being relied too much to Super League aims as ending at high spots in all respect of both sides could be difficult aim and hence it should be expected that both sides does have an aim to go all the way at the competition. Even through the game has been played with lack of dangerous chances and attacks both teams have provided full focus and does provide view that 2nd leg could be pretty exciting.
The tie with 1:0 scoreline is still open without doubt and both sides would give their chance and best game during 2nd half as Yeni Malatyaspor does have slight advantage at tie right now.
Trabzonspor didnt manage to get through disciplined Umraniyespor at Turkish Cup.
Umraniyespor continues at showing pretty decent performance at the Turkish Cup as it had managed to draw against Trabzonspor and showing very disciplined performance, preventing Trabzonspor to show very effective game.
Stating that, it needs to be noted that we are not seeing Trabzonspor performance in similar manner as their did during 1st half of the season but once again it needs to be noted from yesterday game that club which has relegated Fenerbahce on previous round has provided strong disciplined game as their got high motivation and confidence after previous round of competition. Trabzonspor meanwhile could be stated didnt provide strong performance as their minds could be at Galatasaray game which would be played on 10th February at the league and hence players tend to be very careful. Trabzonspor did draw this game at home ground which has lost them having upper hand at the tie but stating that it needs to be admitted that Trabzonspor are still favorite but Umraniyespor did show that their capable to provide difficult time and if Trabzonspor would get into next round, it wont be an easy task.
Right now Trabzonspor would need to get this game aside and fully focus into difficult game against Galatasaray as result of that game could have direct connection into aims for rest of the season without doubt.
