What happened in Turkish football today? 24/11/2020



 Basaksehirspor been same from last game but Manchester United improved.

As has been expected, Manchester United did provide much more agressive game at its home ground following loss to Basaksehirspor in Istanbul with showing much more attacking game with scoring more goals.

However, it needs to be noted that when looking in overall performance of both sides, it could be noted that Basaksehirspor did provide once again strong forward focussing game with creating some opportunities but last touches did play important role here even through Deniz Turuc goal needs to be precision it was given. Only issue from Basaksehirspor is starting to show some better game after 3:0 with Manchester United thanks to scoreline did provide some relaxation but still controlled game finding 4th goal. Still, when coming to scorewise it would been dissapointing result but as been noted not much been expected from Turkish side from beginning, hence at least providing some good game would make side see this as strong experience with heads up, especially taking account it did beat them on previous game. With PSG winning meanwhile RB Leipzig on parallel game keeps chances alive for last 2 games which at least would provide confidence and motivation to them.

If Basaksehirspor did provide its best game as it did in Istanbul, Manchester United looked to be much more focussed to final result reducing mistakes from previous games and used quality factors to stay as leaders at group.

Basaksehirspor didnt get result it seeked for sure especially with last week win but it can leave game with heads up taking account its capacity between both sides.

Fenerbahce gets confident win without some of its key play against Sivas Belediyespor.

Fenerbahce gets confident win against 3rd division side Sivas Belediyespor with 4:0 scoreline with finding goals following openning goal from Thiam on 41st minute with providing patient but same time attacking game.

Fenerbahce with its openning game at this season Turkish Cup 4th round game with mainly younger players and some players which does need some playing time on the field which included like Mert Hakan Yandas, Thiam and Samatta with being one of the most expeirenced players on the side did provide hence reaction according to this. It needs to be noted that due of having some young players without much experience it did have some issue with providing strong and effective game but despite its been side who controlled game with Sivas Belediyespor only getting one but very good opportunity. However, with some changes at 2nd half with both players and continuing showing attacking game during even with 1:0 scoreline showed how much Erol Bulut did come out for both win and good attacking controlling game which side got without much problems. 

Meanwhile, it needs to be remembered that Sivas Belediyespor is 3 division below their opponents and hence did have low chances with one of the title contenders and hence did provide defensive game which it did show good game until Thiam 1st goal but later didnt have enough to respond but did write history for themselves.

Fenerbahce got into next round without much trouble with giving signs that it would get double during this season in May.

Galatasaray didnt use golden opportunities against Kayserispor.

With Galatasaray dominating 1st half during Super League 9th week game against Kayserispor and some factors going for them with Lung getting injured and Mujdat Celik getting red card it still been side which lost 3 points.

Galatasaray it is true did come with weaker squad then its ideal one, due of number of injuries and Covid19 infections but it should be noted it was still on level to beat Kayserispor but it was observed that players did have problems with providing last touch. It needs to be noted that Silviu Lung without doubt provided great performance, with being goalkeeper with most saves at league, but Galatasaray did waste some opportunities during game. It could be noted that Galatasaray players who did come out to field did have lack of playing time and it did affect to outcome but even when it got 1:0 lead from penalty and extra men, with such advantages it didnt get right outcome. Most importantly this result shows that side has some issues also with focus and defence for sure.

Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim would certainly be waiting recoveries from infected and injured players as current 11 sadly cant show high level game which is expected from them.
