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


Besiktas has got 1 point against Kayserispor thanks to the goal by Caner Erkin.

Besiktas player Caner Erkin goal from distance has helped Besiktas to get 1 point against very in-form Kayserispor at away game during Super League 23rd week game despite of very poor performance during 2nd half as it ended game with 2:2 scoreline.

It does need to be stated that even through Besiktas didnt still had great start against Kayserispor it has been side which has controlled game and has found an important goal from Atiba Hutchinson during 37th minute. However, in similar manner as last week game against Fenerbahce, Besiktas has lost its control of the game and has allowed Kayserispor at 1st to balance game and afterwards starts controlling game even through it does need to be noted that Kayserispor didnt lose yet game during 2019 which also has provided an additional confidence and motivation towards game. Despite of Caner Erkin goal during 90+1 goal, it needs to be stated that Besiktas didnt provide great game and Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes does lose control of the game possibly with an appointment to Turkish National Team head coach position does provide possibly some distraction to provide right decisions as game progresses. Besiktas right now finds itself 10 points behind Basaksehirspor and thats taking account that their didnt play their game yet, so chances for league title are getting further away.

Kayserispor meanwhile even through didnt show great start towards game, it has managed to keep its deficit at half-time with minumum scoreline and with providing much more organised performance especially at attack it has found 2 goals and got control under the game. It needs to be stated that Kayserispor would find this as loss of 2 points even through it was against big club.

Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes needs to stay focus at his role at the team as his distraction right now seems to be only doing damage to the team right now.

Fenerbahce has got an important win against difficult game against Rizespor. 

Fenerbahce has managed to get an important win against Rizespor with 3:2 scoreline during Super League 24th week game, with both sides providing very exciting games and giving their best game to get a win and provide fighting spirit.

Without doubt, Fenerbahce has got very difficult win against Rizespor and to some extend didnt use very effectively its extra player during 2nd half but in same time and in all fairness it should be stated that Istanbul giant, which still has scare of being relegated, has continued to show an improvement and provided an attacking game always looking for new chances for most part of 90 minutes. It also needs to be stated that until end of the season, Fenerbahce would be having difficult games as Rizespor has shown that no team in the league would have fear with Fenerbahce especially bottom teams. One of the main positive aspects from Fenerbahce still has been without doubt the factor of being highly motivated and has provided an attacking game which was shown during 2nd half against Besiktas and more important at performance which Ersun Yanal is demanding and waiting from his side and his playing philosophy. Still, the factor that it has conceded goal while having an extra player and not killing game earlier at 2nd half still shows that Fenerbahce still needs to get into perfect football.

Rizespor even through did raise up to 10th place, in the sense of point and point difference of relegation zone is still has scare of not being at league next season and it has treated game in such a manner, and hence has shown provided very attacking game. This attitude and concentration in upcoming games should be enough for Rizespor to stay at league.

Fenerbahce has shown continuation of its good performance after Besiktas game last week, but it needs to carry on this and still improve for rest of season as scare to be relegated still exists and team should be aware of that.


Galatasaray will also try to beat through weather and field conditions against Erzurumspor. 

Galatasaray after securing its semi-final place at Turkish Cup during stressful game against Hatayspor, it would now focus once again to the league title aim as it would have very difficult game against Erzurumspor as weather might affect to the team.

As it is known, Galatasaray has asked for TFF to move game to an earlier hour due of extreme cold weather conditions as it is expected that weather could be in between -5 to -15 at the Erzurum, with even risk of the snow. As this request has been cancelled, it is known that Galatasaray has done right preparation which including using special cosmetic material to keep players bodies warm. Meanwhile, it is also reported that injured Mbiaye Diagne would be able to be starting at game as he has recovered from his injury however it would be still dissapointed that Yuto Nagatomo. Coming to importance of game, this game would be very important for both sides as Galatasaray needs to win game to get league title, Erzurumspor could be stated even more crucial as loss of 3 points could mean getting much further from safe zone from relegation and hence it would be aiming to show an attacking game and use conditions of weather and field for its own advantage as it is used more used to cold and icy conditions.

Galatasaray would have a difficult game as it would be playing against Erzurumspor which always shows great performance at home ground and also difficult weather and field conditions which would be awaiting for them.
