Galatasaray gets very important win against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Galatasaray gets very important win against Lokomotiv Moscow thanks to the 82nd minute goal from Kerem Akturkoglu with helping side into getting into spot and makes possibility for top spot in the end of group stage even higher.
It needs to be mentioned that Lokomotiv Moscow with changing its coach 2 weeks ago did led for side to provide new beginning in this tournament and this been affected as Galatasaray did led for opponent to provide some attacking game but it needs to be mentioned that once against Galatasaray did provide strong defensive game without letting Lokomotiv to get into too dangerous opportunity. However, as time went on especially during 2nd half, Galatasaray did get into much control of the game and with introduction of Kerem Akturkoglu entering to field on 75th minute did led some good opportunities with scoring 1 goal and also creating other 2 opportunities and could game end with hattrick. Therefore, Galatasaray is providing very good defensive game compare to league which once again provides importance of player during 2nd half. This led for good 3 point difference at the top with group stage getting into half level.
Lokomotiv Moscow it needs to be mentioned did provide strong forward-seeking performance but couldnt pass organised defensive game of Galatasaray and with 1 point still has chance for 2nd spot but did put into difficulty for top spot.
Galatasaray hence did get very important and continues to show organised game especially at defence so far in the Europa League.
Fenerbahce gets unexpected draw against Antwerp
Fenerbahce did get unexpected loss of 2 points at its home ground against last spot Antwerp at Europa League with ending game with 2:2 and did put chances for knockout stages into difficulty being with 2 points.
It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce willingness and spirit has been there and there were moments in the game during 2nd half especially did control but its been during whole game it didnt get full dominance of the game, which without doubt has led Antwerp to be inside the whole game which led them to get draw without doubt.Stating there seems to be poor penalty kick from Enner Valencia who did shoot Panelka, but to some extend this blog doesnt consider for Fenerbahce to be losing because Valencia did score from penalty few minutes later and did let for Fenerbahce to get 2:1 scoreline so therefore blaming draw to this penalty would be wrong. Meanwhile, there seems to be some issues with defensive performance of the side as it did concede for 5 points, however it needs to be noted that events during Trabzonspor did led some tiredness from Fenerbahce. Right now, Fenerbahce would need to show response from this point and still fight for 2nd spot without losing concentration.
It needs to be noted that Antwerp did play for win as did Fenerbahce with providing some respect to Istanbul and did provide some good performance with staying inside the team and this result does keep low chance to fight for knockout stages.
Fenerbahce did get dissapointing result and right now side would need to go through this game and identify mistakes as side does show some decline with its performance.
Serdar Tatli resigns from his post as Central Referee Committee.
Central Referee Committee CEO Serdar Tatli has announced his resignation from the post as it is believed that decision has been made this morning as committee gets high amount of criticism from all clubs.
It needs to be mentioned that issue with referees which does exist in Turkey and is being actively and heavily by all clubs is being systematic issue and is not related to Tatli management, as this issue did exist before him and likely would be continued if some changes are not made. Therefore, Clubs Union and TFF which does go through negotiations with identifying issues on meeting and planned to discuss about productive solutions to it, would not meet such resignation as big movement forward without doubt. In fact, there is belief that Tatli has been made by himself with reports going around that resignation from post been send to TFF while SMS. Therefore, there could be new name appointed in short period but same issues would be coming out if some important problems within system of refereeing in Turkey would not be solved.
Serdar Tatli likely to resign due of him seeing himself issue of the problem but situation is even more serious than this without doubt.
