What happened in Turkish football today? 13/04/2019


Besiktas has got an important win against Basaksehirspor as 7 games left at the season.

Besiktas has got very important win against Basaksehirspor as we are entering to the last 6 weeks of the Super League with 2:1 scoreline at home ground at the high tempo and high concentration from both sides and has reduced point difference with leaders to 8 points.

As would been remembered this blog in its preview has provided that key for Besiktas during this important game to provide strong attacking game which it did even through it needs to be admitted that Basaksehirspor has provided also strong performance especially during 1st half. It needs to be admitted that Besiktas didnt play a great game during 1st half apart of starting game with high number of chances 1st 15 minutes and has provided not very impressive game which has led to Basaksehirspor finding score however a goal which was scored by Atiba Hutchinson prior to half time which has provided strong motivation and confidence to players for 2nd half. This high motivation from Atiba Hutchinson has provided strong motivation and rightfull change of tactics which has led Besiktas to show much more attacking game and due of age difference from both sides, Besiktas has provided an upper hand. Besiktas has provided strong attacking game and did what it needs to do against team like Basaksehirspor which has much higher older players at its table.

Basaksehirspor in other hand did provide fast-pacing game against Besiktas and did provide much an attacking game with finding 1st goal and after that did create some chances as game has progressed. However, after conceding goal from Hutchinson and also not being able to keep their pace fast or at least reduce pace of Besiktas during 2nd half has played an important role. It is true that
Basaksehirspor did want to play game but it has been stated that if Besiktas would play an attacking game with high tempo it would have problems with that. Despite of losing its need to be stated that Basaksehirspor still favourite to get league title but it would become even more clearer regarding results during Fenerbahce - Galatasaray derby game which will show how crucial is this loss of 3 points would have effect for their chances to get league title at the end of this week as Basaksehirspor would hoping for Galatasaray to keep its unwinning period at Kadikoy.

Besiktas has reduced point difference right now to 8 points and with 21 points still available during this season it still got some, even through small chance to aim for league title.

Trabzonspor carries on showing confident attacking game and got win against Bursaspor.

Trabzonspor carries on showing good performance at the last period of Super League as it has managed among one of the difficult away games at this league, even through if its around drop zone right now, against Bursaspor with great goal from Abdulkadir Omur.

With Trabzonspor slowly securing its top 4 spot for Europa League, it also start viewing to get at one step ahead as it keeps its race behind Besiktas, but as Besiktas carrying on winning it still has ended with 4 points difference against them. More importantly for Trabzonspor it has provided a very attacking game and also shows its leadership mainly with its academy players which does service not only for its service as club for future of the country without doubt. Among incredible goal for Abdulkadir Omur, it needs to be stated in general that Trabzonspor has provided right attitute for upcoming games as we are entering to last 6 games of the season and also would be aiming to end season at highest spots and results which it is capable to do so. With Besiktas also keep on winning, it is important for Trabzonspor to keep highly motivated and dont mind what opponents does if it doesnt want to risk top 4 spot but until now it doesnt seem to be affected from that and has got confidence and motivation at highest level for sure.

Trabzonspor carries on showing high level performance which would keep fans and head coach Unal Karaman to be happy with team and would be aiming to do so until end of the season.

Galatasaray cant lose any points against Fenerbahce if it wants league title. 

Without doubt, whole Turkish sports and especially football community would be focussed to the Super League 28th week an important derby game between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, as Galatasaray would be aiming to end its unlucky period at Kadikoy.

It is known that Galatasaray are showing high focus towards Fenerbahce games as win against them would end this unlucky period of losing at Kadikoy for 19 years, which includes famous 6:0 win of Fenerbahce, and more importantly to reduce point difference with league leaders to 3 points. With this taking account, Galatasaray has provided all focus and preparation to end this unlucky period as their dont have any chances to lose any points for getting league title at the end. Meanwhile, Galatasaray needs to be remembered that it needs to stay focussed for 90 minutes as Fenerbahce despite of poor performance this season didnt lose (but same didnt win)derby games this season and coming back from 2:0 against Galatasaray at 1st half of the season and recent game against Besiktas from 3:0. Whatever you can say for overall performance of Fenerbahce during this season, it needs to be stated that Fenerbahce is providing different focus and performance during derby games and this all related to fans, so table standings will not mean anything as game would start as both sides would give all their best.

Galatasaray also cant afford to lose against Fenerbahce, while Fenerbahce has much less pressure as it has 5 point advantage right now from drop zone and even if it would be relegated surprisingly it wont happen in this game. Therefore, Fenerbahce has less pressure and this could turn into advantage for them.
