What happened in Turkish football today? 16/05/2019


Galatasaray would come out to Basaksehirspor with high motivation after winning Turkish Cup.

Galatasaray has managed to win its 18th Turkish Cup title and carries on being team to win most amount of cups in history of competitions as it has beaten Akhisarspor with 3:1 scoreline despite of failing to provide top level performance during 1st half.

Galatasaray mind has been focussed towards this weekend game against Basaksehirspor where winner would become champions of Super League season. Therefore, whole 1st half of the game had an impact as it was providing low tempo game and failing to get into many chances during that period and in fact playing which could be going into hand of Akhisarspor. In fact, Akhisarspor has got into leadership scoreline but quite paradoxically its reaction towards referee of the game following 2nd red card has went into hand of Galatasaray and angry reaction of opponent players has allowed them to get control of the game as Akhisarspor has lost all focus and control of the game. It needs to be noted also that this win, despite of not great performance for most amount of the game, would without doubt provide an important motivational boost for Basaksehirspor game and to some extend even makes them even more favourite for the game right now. It was also important for players to ask to be moved to training camp straight away after game to keep team highly motivated.

Galatasaray as been mentioned has won its 18th title of Turkish Cup in 57th competition of tournament and would now prepare for Super League 33rd game against Basaksehirspor where it aims to raise Super League trophy.

Akhisarspor lost Turkish Cup for not keeping its nerves.

Akhisarspor on other hand did provide some good performance during 1st half and at least has used an advantage of poor performance of opponent as it was aiming to end season with trophy after being relegated from top division.

Scoreline of red card Lopes has been 1:1 and playing wise it wasnt not really behind of Galatasaray with its performance and could even have won game but due of its reaction of 2nd penalty kick has raised without doubt high amount of tension with believing that this decision has been done purposefully. Also talks that Suat Arslanboga, referee of the game, has led for Akhisarspor to lose all of the 9 games he has refereed for them has raised tension. In fact, those penalty decision were not really wrong and previous games has led for direct reaction from Akhisarspor. Stating that, even if Akhisarspor is right regarding this issues, its still need to stay calm and end game in calm manner especially as been mentioned it wasnt far away to achieve that. Not keeping its nerves, which could also come from still disbelief of being relegated had strong negative impact to team performance for sure.

Akhisarspor has lost game due of its reaction to 2nd red card and certainly would feel sorry that it didnt stay calm for last minutes of the game.

Cuneyt Cakir has been appointed for Super League game between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor.

TFF has announced that referee of Super League 33rd week game between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor, winner takes it all game, would be leading Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir.

One of the most awaiting questions prior to start of Super League 33rd week game who would be referee of most important game of the season between Galatasaray and Basaksehirspor with quite rightly many people were expecting for appointment to be Cuneyt Cakir. With so much criticism been given towards referee in recent periods from all of the clubs and most of them not being in form and uncapable of using VAR, it was quite naturally that closest and strongest candidate would be Cuneyt Cakir, and TFF has made announcement to appoint him. With high level of experience and also good in-form Cuneyt Cakir is most likely not to get affected from outside factors and this blog does expect to provide high level refereeing.

With this game being incredibly important with possibly of some high tensions it was natural to expect that Cakir would be appointed as referee of the team.
