What happened in Turkish football today? 03/05/2021


 

Fenerbahce keeps its title hopes arrive with Erzurumspor win.

Fenerbahce got crucial win against Erzurumspor with 3:1 scoreline with finding all goals during first 15 minutes with providing fast-tempo game in the start of the game with regaining 2nd spot and keeping title hopes arrive with next week derby result would decide its possibilities. 

Fenerbahce did start game with providing strong attacking game with focus not only getting an early goal but also get into confident result which it did as it found an early penalty thanks to the pressure and has continued with providing high tempo game until end of the game. Fenerbahce with finding penalty goal thanks to the Jose Sosa has continued with providing pressure with finding 2 more goals until 14th minute hence even given signs that it could be going after big scoreline but did reduce tempo of the game as game continued and despite of conceding scoreline on 81st minute it did been side which did control whole game without letting Erzurumspor to get into game. Only issue which could be criticised from Fenerbahce however could been for losing its full control towards end of the game which could be crucial towards end which by itself shows how good strategic game it showed during first minutes and it is very likely it would be continuing to do so. This result without doubt would help side to regain confidence for last 3 games as it still has title hopes arrive.

Erzurumspor couldnt show response to fast tempo and determined as Fenerbahce did provide fast tempo and it needs to be praised that as game progressed it did show some character but its been too late. Erzurumspor in fight of survival biggest disadvantage without doubt not playing during next week.

Fenerbahce did get result which it seeked for with regaining 2nd spot and could even enter to last 2 weeks with title hopes if Galatasaray wins Besiktas next week.

Galatasaray didnt give high hopes prior to derby despite of win.

Galatasaray continues its title race hopes and at worst fight for 2nd spot in the Super League as we enter to last 3 weeks of the season as it reduced point difference with Besiktas to 5 points prior to derby game next week.

Even through this win did provide important confidence and morale prior to Besiktas derby game, it needs to be noted that performance of Besiktas against Hatayspor and Galatasaray win against Genclerbirligi with also adding recent performances of both sides doesnt provide much hope for Galatasaray as side would need to add its level of performance as performance against Genclerbirligi, where Ankara side suprisingly as it is fighting for survival in the league didnt provide much pressure which would been expected from them in such crucial week did make its task much easier. Even through Galatasaray didnt provide great game it did gain Halil Dervisoglu who did show his quality in recent weeks but did find his first goal in his new club which would hence provide confidence both for rest of the season and for future.

Galatasaray would come to Besiktas to game which is likely to decide if it have chances for top 2 spot, and hence would need to give all risk for such game.

Denizlispor has become 1st side to be relegated from Super League.

Denizlispor following loss to Rizespor during Super League 39th week game with 1:0 scoreline, did become first side to be relegated which did come mainly for not converting their opportunities.

It needs to be noted that Denizlispor did provide actually impressive attacking game with looking into goals which quite understandably did rise in recent weeks including against Rizespor, but due of luck and also lack of converting opportunities it didnt manage to convert into goals. Taking account of some financial issues inside the club with failing to pay players and changing coach 4 times during this season did raise some issues for the side. Therefore, it needs to be admitted that side did provide strong positive game and shouldnt be criticised,but lack of quality players and internal issues in the club did lead them to be relegated.

With being relegated, side would now need to focus into identifying issues of their relegation and build side this summer to be getting back to Super League after 1 season.
