What happened in Turkish football today? 24/05/2019


Besiktas has got direct entry to Europa League with win against Kasimpasa.

As it was known Besiktas did come out to the last week game against Kasimpasa as it needed to draw game to secure its 3rd place spot to get direct entry and which it has succeeded to do so as it has won its opponent with 3:2 scoreline.

As it was stated prior to last week games, those games for most amount of the teams has been more or less formality games and also for Besiktas losing its title race and also Champions League it was expected that Besiktas could have shown lack of concentration towards game but due of also opponent Kasimpasa which doesnt have also any aims has and also Guven Yalcin hat-trick and get performance for today has provided good result for them. This game has also been last game of Senol Gunes as Besiktas head coach as he would start his career as Turkish National Team head coach, and hence it was also important for side to farewell its coach with good performance and result which it has managed to do so. Besiktas could be only dissatisfied including even after losing to Galatasaray that it didnt use much chance for 2nd spot and Champions League spot as it has lost to Trabzonspor last week. Still, Besiktas did have some good moments and upper performances and does provide some positive signs for next season Europa League as long as it gets good coach and some transfers.
Kasimpasa meanwhile even through didnt have much aims and wasnt highly motivated to game did provide some positive performance as game has been progressing and has shown some attacking game with was mainly due of high relaxation of last week games.

Besiktas now would go to summer period and transfer window with building some new team for next season Europa League aiming to provide much better performance it had shown during this season and would now look also for new head coach.

Trabzonspor has shown great performance and got Europa League qualifiers place it deserves.

With Trabzonspor showing good performance during last games and getting closer at ending season at 3rd place including beating Besiktas last season, it has also shown right concentration and motivation for Sivasspor beating 3:2 scoreline but it wasnt enough for 3rd spot.

It needs to be stated that this game is being see as Black Sea Derby game as both sides from that area of Istanbul and this has affected positively to game and could be one of the few exciting games of last week games. Even through Trabzonspor didnt provide great performance and didnt concede an early goal it has shown right reaction and as Besiktas was going with draw at their own game in that minutes has shown strong and attacking football once again reminding why it has got so much sympathy and support during last week games. Trabzonspor has recieved lots during this season getting European football experience since 2010-11 after match-fixing season. Trabzonspor which has also made deal to extend contract with Unal Karaman who has provided high level performance of his team and also focussing into youth players. With numbers of good transfers but more importantly continuation at investment of its youth academy could help team to move forward both in Europe if it manages to get through qualifiers and also at Super League with having all possibilities to start new season as league titles candidates.

Rizespor meanwhile has also provided good performance aiming to show high level performance and keep in memory to everyone why it is among best teams at the league of 2nd half of the season and it would aim to show this performance next season without doubt.

Trabzonspor has shown among best improvements since last season among teams at the league and has deserved to end season at 4th place which got them right to be at Europa League qualifiers.

Champions has shown pretty good performance despite losing to Sivasspor.

2018-19 champions did come out to their last game against Sivasspor at game which it was expected that it would be distracted from its aims and even through it has started game in great manner it has lost game with 4:3 scoreline.

After winning title and also whole week celebration of league title, it could be pretty hard to provide full concentration to next game at the league and it needs to be stated that Galatasaray did provide great performance despite of losing to opponents. To unluck of Galatasaray, Sivasspor has also shown some detirmanation to end season with a win against champions. It also needs to be reminded that many of main players didnt start at Galatasaray and it has been mainly an opportunity for players to provide to show their capabilities to technical staff and it needs to be admitted that it has achieved that and likely would make Fatih Terim satisfied with this performance despite of losing game. It was important despite of all this circumstances to find 3 goals and only dissapointing aspect in Galatasaray view is that it has ended its 19 game winning series but its unlikely many players would care about that.

Sivasspor also needs to be praised that it has been highly motivated to win today's game showing strong and attacking game against winners of league and has been detirmined to end season with win against champions of this season.

Galatasaray as it is known would celebrate its league title at home ground tomorrow evening and for sure whole concentration of the team would to have great night with its fans as it would be lifting 22nd title of the history of the league.
