What happened in Turkish football today? 21/05/2019


Erzurumspor has small chance to stay at league as long as Bursaspor draws and Goztepe lose next week.

Fenerbahce has managed to win Kasimpasa during Super League penultimate week against Erzurumspor as it was very important game for Erzurum side as it needed to win game to stay at league but Fenerbahce has prevented them to get that result.

Erzurumspor still keeps its chances to stay at the Super League mathematically arrive as it needs to win last week games against Kayserispor at away game and also await for Bursaspor to draw against Yeni Malatyaspor and Goztepe to lose against Ankaragucu. With only Bursaspor among those three playing against side which has also an aim to keep its chances for Europa League 5th spot does keep Erzurumspor chances arrive to achieve its aim but it needs to be noted that Yeni Malatyaspor despite having 2 point advantage over 6th placed Antalyaspor, if sides would end at same points it would move ahead of Antalyaspor if it manages to beat Fenerbahce, therefore chances for Eskisehirspor to stay at league are still arrive. Stating that, it needs to be noted that without being able to at least draw against Fenerbahce, Erzurumspor did make their chances to stay at league into slight difficulty and would now be hoping that at least one of the side would provide them good result and that by itself could create lots of tension when game would be taking places on 26th May.

Erzurumspor is likely to beat Kayserispor next week as it would be playing against side which doesnt have much aim for rest of the season, and likely best hope it would get to Bursaspor as Yeni Malatyaspor has Europa League aims.

Fenerbahce needs to forget this season and focus to the future.

Fenerbahce does aim to end season at the highest note, as it has managed to win games back to back for 3 games including beating Erzurumspor who came out with single aim of at least not losing to them.

It needs to be noted however that it is hard to state that Fenerbahce has provided great performance on the night as it didnt create many chances and has mainly provided a defensive football focussing not Erzurumspor to create chances rather than focussing into an attacking game which could be due of psychological impact this season had into players also losing concentration as it has secure its stay at the Super League but left for no other aims. Fenerbahce would certainly aim to end season with a win against Antalyaspor, but most importantly side is currently focussed towards how it would spend its summer transfer window as it needs to make drastic changes for next season so it wont be able to repeat same results and stress which it had during this season and hence it does look like this summer transfer window would be pretty active for them.

Fenerbahce had a seen which it would like to forget and with summer period coming up and team start thinking about next season, it just needs to forget this season and find ways how this club could fight for top position both with transfer and inside club.

Ankaragucu detirmanation has played main role for team to stay at Super League. 

Ankaragucu has provided great comeback during its 2nd half of the season and even through this could be seen surprising statement for team which has secured its stay at the Super League prior to last week, it needs to be stated that it had very poor performance towards end of 1st half of the season.

There was time, more or less around Christmas holidays, when Ankaragucu has been seen for sure to be relegated and being among first sides to do so but it has shown great character among making high number of transfers after it has lifted from transfer ban and has provided great focus to stay at league. This motivation and focus of players has been raised at its highest with its great performance against Sivasspor on penultimate week which it has won with 3:1 scoreline. It was also visible from statements and mood that team was detirmened to stay at the league even when things looked like were going against them and this motivation of administration, technical staff and players has become clear for team to achieve that. It would now have pretty calm last week game against Goztepe which it has deserved and also quite rightfully has solved its issues prior to game which could be played at very nervous conditions.

Ankaragucu didnt have an easy season at all but strong-belief and detirmination especially in last weeks has played an important role to stay at the league.
