Galatasaray has lost its gold opportunity to get 3 points from Kadikoy
Galatasaray didnt manage to end its 20 years period of not winning at Kadikoy as Super League 28th week game against Fenerbahce has ended with 1:1 scoreline despite of playing with an extra man for 50 minutes.
Galatasaray, compare to Fenerbahce, did come out to the game with an aim to win game as winning all of the games could bring them league title but despite of getting 1:0 leadership on 66th minute with Henry Onyekuru goal, it didnt keep its control of the game. It needs to be noted that both sides has provided controllable game, which to some extend could be understandable for Fenerbahce but couldnt be case for Galatasaray. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that Galatasaray carries on providing poor performance with its attackers with Mbiaye Diagne not also uncapable of finding goal but didnt create any moments which could be stated that player has been close to achieve that. Meamwhile, has also provided poor performance with an extra player at the field. Even through it could be argued that Galatasaray could have lost a lot with losing game, getting draw would also be seen as equal to loss so not providing strong and attacking game with having some risks will not be acceptable. Galatasaray right now is 5 points behind of leaders Basaksehirspor and carries on its title race for last 6 games.
Fenerbahce meanwhile did come out to the game with different aims which includes get a bit further from relegation zone but more importantly is to keep its undefeated record against Galatasaray for 20-years and it has achieved to do that. Stating that it needs to be noted that Fenerbahce has shown great performance with one less man and has provided controllable game and even through Galatasaray did get higher amount of chances during 2nd half, it still has reduced dangerous amount of attacks which could be seen from Galatasaray scoring only 1 goal. Of course, another chapter should be opened towards Eljif Elmas who has scored an equaliser and also has provided an overall great performance with dominating game and has created high amount of the chances. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce could even won game with an Alper Potuk chances but he has wasted such a great chance compare to Eljif Elmas. Taking account circumstances of general performance of club and also keep undefeated result could be seen as good result for Fenerbahce but some fans and players will be unhappy as club always aims for a win against their biggest rival.
Galatasaray has lost its opportunity to end its unlucky period at Kadikoy with getting 1:0 score during last 30 minutes with having an extra player at the field but still has lost game depsite of all this advantages.
Besiktas has shown strong dominating game during 2nd half.
Despite of not starting Super League 28th week game against Basaksehirspor, at great way Besiktas has shown strong and dominating game since Atiba Hutchinspn has equalised goal at 42nd minute and after that didnt allow leaders of league to control game.
Besiktas without doubt has provided its main strength against Basaksehirspor which it has shown during recent games which was to show fast-paced game as Basaksehirspor aims to provide more patient football and Besiktas style of game would get out from sides usual performance. Stating that
Besiktas player Lorius Karius who does recieve high amount of criticism for conceding high amount of the goal in recent weeks, has shown great performance during 1st half and has been one of the main reason for side to stay at the game during 1st half, taking account that conceding goal wasnt highly his mistake. Besiktas goal from Atiba Hutchinson during 42nd minute has been however without doubt turning point of the game as it has led Besiktas to provide high attacking game and with winning with 2:1 it could actually have scored even more goals during 2nd half as it has shown strong and dominating football without doubt. Besiktas has deserved this win and has got small chance for league title as it has reduced point difference with Basaksehirspor to 8 points with 6 points.
More importantly, it has kept their race for 2nd place at least alive with such scoreline and has got high amount of motivation for upcoming games left this season.
Basaksehirspor could cope from pressure and atmosphere against Besiktas.
Basaksehirspor it needs to be stated in other hand has started game in right manner with showing fast paced game and clearly aiming to find an early goal followed by controlling game but it couldnt pass Karius who showed great performance.
This blog during its title race of Basaksehirspor even through did state few times that their have great advantage, did discuss about how team could have an issue at responding at games which it would recieve with high amount of pressure and among them without doubt would be an away game against Besiktas. This factor has become clear a lot during 2nd half when Basaksehirspor couldnt get any control of the game and has been stuck at defence and not being able to prevent Besiktas to create chances and more importantly find winning goal. In fact, this factor would be totally unusual for Basaksehirspor as it used to control game prior to this game but quality factor and supporters issue did play its role at the game against Besiktas. Basaksehirspor still has control of its league title without doubt but this loss did make it more complicated.
Basaksehirspor right now needs to stay focussed for last 6 games of the season and find ways how to get rid of this pressure if it doesnt to lose title.
