Galatasaray showed one of its best game during this season against Besiktas.
Galatasaray wins derby game against Besiktas with 2:1 scoreline and possibly providing one of its best performance during this season while its opponents did show lack of concentration in the start of the game.
Galatasaray has shown probably one of the most organised game during this season in the league and for sure its best one since Domenec Torrent as in fact it didnt look to be side which become tired from Barcelona game at Europa League and also from travelling from Barcelona to Izmir and after that to Istanbul in duration of 4 days. To some extend, this game has also been seen as practice and test game for 2nd leg for Barcelona, and it needs to be stated that it has passed test especially during 1st half as it controlled game but still some signs of tiredness were clear during 2nd half when Besiktas provided strong pressure to Galatasaray and also created high amount of the opportunities with also finding goal in that period of game. Meanwhile, best player of the game has been Kerem Akturkoglu with finding 2 great goals and provided positive note for both Barcelona game and also generally as he likely to be moved to Europe this summer.
Besiktas on their part didnt have very good start of the game with providing pretty passive game and not being able to get control of the game an dyet to provide any pressure to Galatasaray goal and did look more tired compare to Galatasaray as possible issue if game would not be postponed or not did provide pressure to its players even through its been accepted to be case as Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi has provided needless statement regarding this issue. It needs to be mentioned that Besiktas did look to be more willing with using signs of tiredness of opponent but still didnt manage to get too much pressure again to Galatasaray even through it did find winning goal. This result meanwhile now means that Besiktas finds itself 10 points behind runners-up Konyaspor with 9 games left until end of the season but 4 points from top 4 spot, and this likely would become side new aim for rest of the season.
To some extend this win didnt provide much change in the standings for Galatasaray but provided very important confidence and self-belief for game against Bacelona which would take place on 17th March, while Besiktas reducing its chances for 2nd spot.
Fenerbahce got crucial win against Alanyaspor and rose confidence.
Fenerbahce has got crucial win against Alanyaspor with confident scoreline of 5:2 even through there were moment in middle of 2nd half where it could have lost points as Alanyaspor had momentum of the game.
It needs to be noted that Fenerbahce as side does provide some improvement with its performance which is being pretty crucial for its fight for 2nd spot as it would be meeting with Konyaspor with who its being 5 points behind right now. But it needs to be noted that coming to this game it did have decline of performance as it got behind from 2:0 leadership to 2:2 but also thanks to the good game from Altay Bayindir and towards end of the game rise of performance did got win. Without doubt, key player has been 17-year old wunderkind Arda Guler who to some extend did find winning and crucial goal as side went ahead with 3:2 scoreline and provided confidence to whole side. Without doubt, Arda Guler would need to carry on recieving some playing time until end of the season as despite of young age he is being best player during recent weeks.
Fenerbahce got very important win and got crucial motivation for its fight for 2nd spot without doubt.
