What happened in Turkish football today? 30/11/2020



 Besiktas did everything right against Fenerbahce.

Besiktas has managed to beat Fenerbahce on opponent ground with 4:3 scoreline, hence managing to do so for first time since 2005 where it has won game with same scoreline and has done so with some absences and playing for 50 minutes with 10 men.

Besiktas has provided without doubt strong fighting spirit from start to an end, hence making it clear there really wanted to get this win and put them back into race for leadership. Besiktas administrators and head coach Sergen Yalcin did promise before game that team would show fighting performance for whole game, but as football fans know this saying dont always turn into action. But this time,  Besiktas provided that fighting spirit never giving up, providing strong game in all areas and this taking account of how much players were absent. Without doubt, Vincent Aboubakar early two goals also affected game and provided strong confidence and belief for rest of the game so he could be easy seen as key player of game and win for sure. This win without doubt would provide strong motivation to show such game especially taking account that Covid19 players would return soon after recovery.

Therefore, this been very important win for them and provide strong self-confidence in upcoming weeks without doubt.

Fenerbahce didnt fulfill expectations.

Fenerbahce on other hand didnt really provided poor performance as some pundits state in our view, but it is clear that it wasnt as much into game as opponents especially when opponent did get red card which led them to have extra player for 50 minutes.

Fenerbahce during whole game did posses ball much higher creating some opportunities but didnt get full control of game entirely and with being slightly slow in midfielding did lead opponent to create some crucial counterattacks without doubt which been scored by Besiktas. One of the issues without doubt been hence performance in the back starting with defensive midfielders which didnt stop opponents going forward during whole game with goals mainly coming from this. Hence, it does look when team to some extend did solve attacking game it does need to be working on defensive issues if it wants to get this title. It needs to be stated some creative game been lacking with Ozan Tufan being most effective once again with aiming to create some good opportunites as game was developing. Still, this game would provide some important issues to work on for upcoming weeks as this game did show some weaknesses.

Fenerbahce didnt provide level of game which was expected especially in defence and it made clear what things needs to be improved with side.

Alanyaspor so far being best side in the league. 

Meanwhile, Alanyaspor continues to be only side without losing game in this season with beating Konyaspor this time with also being side which is least conceded in league and continues confident leadership.

In fact with game at hand, postponed game against Goztepe due of Izmir earthquake, has 3 point advantage even now in the top with showing best performance so far with positive game. It is true that side did start scoring slightly less during game, but its perfect defensive record so far does provide confidence that team would continue getting good results at least until mid-season break. It is still questionable, like last season if it would be able to fight for title until end but would be close for it for sure until end of the season. Therefore, this side does deserve good attention with having modest but quality squad and could important role this season.

It is questionable how long side would keep its top position but it has potential to do so until end of the season for sure.
