What happened in Turkish football today? 15/02/2021



 Besiktas has got back its top spot with win against Genclerbirligi.

Besiktas has got very important win against Genclebrirligi during Super League 25th week game with 2 goals been scored from Cenk Tosun in last minutes as side regained top spot in week where all its opponents have won game.

It needs to be noted foremost that field condition has been in pretty condition and much better than expected which did allow both sides to show strong performance under snow which has become heavier as game progressed. With such condition its been important for Besiktas to score an early goal and thats what Racchid Ghezzal managed to do during 4th minute. With Genclerbirligi right now struggling, being among bottom sides it was expected to get some difficult game for them even through it did get some opportunities to find goals. However, with Cenk Tosun returning to side with loan did provide top level game with great comeback with scoring 2 goals towards end of the game showing strong adaptation in side which he is familiar with. This without doubt been important win for side which kept its top spot.

Genclerbirligi did have some good moments especially in 1st half of the game but did also had some moments where it lost control of game. When it did show some resistance it looked well but it needs to do so for 90 minutes for better results.

Besiktas has gained back its leadership but probably most importantly got back Cenk Tosun after 2.5 years.

Galatasaray got important at difficult conditions.

It needs to be admitted that both Galatasaray and Kasimpasa did show strong confident performance when taking account weather condition and issues with football field aiming to show confident game.

Galatasaray it needs to be noted had been close to lose 2 points if there wasnt penalty decision which been done by poor coming out from goalkeeper which did make mistake only in this position as in overall he did have crucial saves in start of the game. Coming to penalty, it was right decision but referee did ignore penalty position of Kasimpasa which it needs to be mentioned did have direct impact to outcome. Due of condition of the field, meanwhile it hard to mention that its been very quality game as it was very hard to show it, but both sides did aim to show some good performance which it needs to be praised. Still, with bit of cunningness from Henry Onyekuru, luck and good penalty from Mustafa Muhammed, who had scored 3rd goal in same amount of games has led them to get very important win.

In the end of the day, Galatasaray did get very important game against Kasimpasa and continues its race for top spot.

Basaksehirspor urgently needs to get points.

Following loss to Goztepe, title holders Basaksehirspor are currently being located at 18th spot which is being relegeted spot and continues getting poor results back-to-back and would need to show strong reaction.

Basaksehirspor continues to continue showing negative statistic of providing worst performance in following season from title holders with failing to get results despite of fact that it does have almost same squad. Despite of also poor stats from title holders in history, it also has its worst season since being promoted to top league. It does look like that issue being more or less psychologically, with beating Turkish Cup against Fenerbahce at quarter-final didnt provide right amount of motivational boost. With club appointing Aykut Kocaman, it is hard to note that he did provide much changes to level of performance of side and hence does have crucial task to both motivate side and change some tactical changes but it does like he would be difficult upcoming games of him.

With 16 games left until season, Basaksehirspor has lots of time to keep themselves in top league but it needs to get results urgently to reduce psychological pressure in the end.
