Both sides hopes for title is getting slimmer from derby draw
Result of derby game of sides which been far from fight for top positions even more difficult as point difference of Fenerbahce has rised to 14 points while for Besiktas is being 17 points following 2:2 scoreline.
Despite of being at home and coming to game without head coach, Besiktas did provide much better organised game which did look like it wanted to win. Besiktas did looked to be more confident with creating some opportunities and showed some strong character with getting back into game while getting twice thanks to the goals from Josef de Souza who used his opportunities very effective with using an opportunity with scoring from Fenerbahce some small mistakes. Hence, Okan Karaveli during both games so far didnt lose with his side showing strong character in both games including derby game.
It would be unfair to state that Fenerbahce didnt provide full focus and provide confident game, but when looking how Besiktas played it didnt provide such level game. 2 goals which were scored did come from questionable penalty decision while 2nd goal did come from 2nd goal. What was more worrying and being observed on previous games that side did show more slower defensive game towards end of the game which been worrying when side needs to win game. Therefore, such performance is not being acceptable without doubt and needs to be changed.
As we getting closer to mid-season point, both sides point difference is getting bigger and gets to point when it would not be closed.
Trabzonspor got into winning ways.
Trabzonspor got into winning ways after losing on previous week against Antalyaspor, with showing its intention from beginning against Hatayspor providing strong pressure to them from start.
Trabzonspor did dominated during 1st half with getting into high number opportunities, getting possession and Hatayspor not having single shot into goal. Therefore, it shouldnt be seen to be big surprise for it to end with 2:0 scoreline as Trabzonspor could have scored much more goals during that period. It did reduce tempo of the game bit during 2nd half with letting Hatayspor to get into some chances but it still didnt concede goal showing its been at game in control and without doubt did get crucial important win providing pressure to lower sides.
Trabzonspor got win with good attacking game and continues to be strongest candidate for title.
Galatasaray needs to focus more into its own performance then referees.
Galatasaray, possibly rightly, provides strong criticism with Basaksehirspor game referee Zorbay Kucuk but it does provide poor performance in league for weeks.
Galatasaray focus to much into referees does provide some issues for them during games as it continues to be losing points and getting further and further from league leaders Trabzonspor so it would be more productive to provide focus into own performance rather then continuing providing pressure to referees. Galatasaray didnt show strong attacking game without providing too much pressure to Basaksehirspor with opponent deserving win more and this area which side needs to focus.
Galatasaray needs to focus more into its own performance more then referees if it wants to get some good results at Super League.
