Galatasaray got crucial win against Konyaspor.
Galatasaray did come out to the game against Gaziantep as it needed to win to keep 7 point difference from Trabzonspor and also bounce back from last week loss to Besiktas and it just got that with high quality goals from Morutan and Kerem Akturkoglu.
Galatasaray did come out to the game with high focus and winning spirit which been visible from start of the game even through tempo of the 1st half from side could be argued but its stance both at defence and forward did look there were aware what did. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that Olimpiu Morutan goal in the last minute which did come from great shot has come into right time as it provided motivation for 2nd half with entering into high confidence and this been affected into high tempo with providing nice performance. Gaziantep it needs to be mentioned did try to resist for 90 minutes but has been poorly on forward which been mainly towards organised defence as Marcao did prove once again why he is being important defender to the side. Meanwhile, Kerem Akturkoglu continues to be showing strong attacking willing game which did come with very good assist from Sofiane Feghouli and taking account Feghouli did provide this kind of passes show strong understanding of two players.
Gaziantep didnt necessarily very poor game but couldnt provide much resistance to its opponents and not rising tempo which been needed while not much could be criticised with such great shots to goalkeeper and did come from defenders mistakes.
Galatasaray did get very important win both in standings and also gaining from last week loss and would be looking forward to Lokomotiv Moscow game.
Hatayspor did get deserved win.
Even through Besiktas did come out to Hatayspor as strong favourite, to some extend for them to lose this game should not be seen as big surprise as Hatayspor is being side with great form.
In fact, form which been shown by Hatayspor has been rising in recent weeks with getting some good results while Besiktas despite of beating Galatasaray in last week, form has been in decline with adding to the pre-Champions League pressure and stress which Turkish clubs fail to go through. Stating that Hatayspor also some good strong organised game with showing strong game in attack but especially at defence preventing Besiktas to get control of the game. Stating that, it needs to be noted that disallowing Mehmet Topal did take lots of conversation, but Besiktas does need to be careful with high amount of criticism towards referee as it could affect team performance as it tends to be case.
Besiktas is not being in very good form with in addition Batshuayi and Rosier getting injured prior to Sporting Lisbon game.
Fenerbahce are showing some worrying signs with tactical game.
Fenerbahce continues to be at decline as it lost 3 games back-to-back with things looking to be groomier and more worrying by each game as it lost this time to Konyaspor.
Without doubt things are not going as well as been planned right now with criticism towards administration and referee for not managing side strongly and hence not fulfilling expectations is getting louder. One of the issues is that Vitor Pereira, which been praised in start of the season, doesnt seem to be revised at all which does provide issue as opponent knows how to prepare to the game and affects to the negatively attacking game which supporters willing to see. It does look like hence Pereia would need to be looking for some solutions in the tactical game if it doesnt want to continue losing games. Meanwhile, Konyaspor did get without doubt well-deserved win especially with aggressive attacking game game it showed in the start of the game.
Fenerbahce are being in decline as side it does need to find solutions for such dissapointing performance without doubt internally.
