What happened in Turkish football today? 12/07/2020


Fenerbahce has lost chance for 3rd spot after losing to Sivasspor.

With fighting for 3rd spot is being heated up, since it could provide ticket for Champions League qualification if CAS approves UEFA decision to ban Trabzonspor for 1 season on 16th July,

Fenerbahce and Sivasspor did come out to the game to get to that aim and even if Trabzonspor will get to Champions League will be one to get to Europa League with out qualificatation with 3rd spot.
However, with Fenerbahce losing to Sivasspor during such important game and Alanyaspor losing to Antalyaspor has led for both sides to be outside of this aim mathematically. Fenerbahce even through controlling ball for most amount of time and with getting good chances especially Sayyadmenesh Allahyar in the end of the game, didnt provide full control of the game even through this is being general performance since restart of the season with gaining 10 points without effective performance and pushing level towards end of the game. Even through Fenerbahce still has possibility to end season at top 4 spot for Europa League, it could be noted that team aims for rest of the season and in fact it would have trouble to get fully concentrated for next week against Besiktas in the derby. It was pleasant to see for side to provide strong effort during game but sadly it wasnt enough which does describe whole season of Fenerbahce to some extend.

It was known meanwhile that Sivasspor has given important focus to this game and to some extend it turned out to be case with even through it didnt show too much impressive game, it provided highest concentration since restart of the season. If it provides same attitude for last 2 games, it can end at 3rd spot without much issues.

Fenerbahce possibly had an aim for 3rd spot in the end of the season but with losing today it also that aim and despite of top 4 chance is likely to play last 2 games as formality.

Ankaragucu keeps its hopes to stay in Super League for last weeks.

Galatasaray continues its incredibly poor performance following Super League 32nd week game loss to last-place Ankaragucu who this win provided some hope for staying in the league as it is being 3 points behind safety zone with 2 weeks left until end of the season.

One of the aspects which been observed from Galatasaray, which were among strong title contenders before restart of the season, were expected to provide not very good performance looking at how side performs right now in the league and also having high level of injured players with all of them being very important players. It needs to be noted that Galatasaray as would be expected has provided much more control of the game, but didnt create very good chances and its hard to state how it would be ending this season with such performance right now with being at risk of being outside of Europa League place if it continues its performance like this. It is clear that team is having very low motivation, confidence and cant be focussed into season and therefore Galatasaray to some extend has ended this season.

Ankaragucu has got very important goal from Oscar Scarione penalty goal at 65th minute and has managed to keep its chances for Super League if all of its direct opponent would also lose points in upcoming weeks, difficult task but everything can happen.

It does look like Galatasaray has lost all of its motivation and concentration of the season without doubt and last 2 weeks would be especially difficult for them without doubt.

Basaksehirspor can get title with win against Konyaspor if Trabzonspor loses its game.

Basaksehirspor has an opportunity to get title with 2 weeks before end of the season if it manages to beat Konyaspor and Trabzonspor losses to Denizlispor during Super League 32nd week as game start at same time.

Since restart of the season, Basaksehirspor is providing best performance with winning 4 games and drawing against Galatasaray. Without doubt, Basaksehirspor are having strongest self confidence in this stage with being close with just 2 wins from title if Trabzonspor wins also on 13th July. This motivation would provide direct impact to the game and even through Konyaspor would come out to very important game with being risk of being relegated if it loses, Basaksehirspor motivation is much higher and with possibly playing its classic patient but effective performance would be enough for side to get this historical win. Best thing for Basaksehirspor is to focus into this game and dont think about Trabzonspor if it wants to win, and its condition when it cand do that in confident way.

Basaksehirspor are being very close for title and its unlikely it would make same mistakes it did in recent season for sure.
