What happened in Turkish football today? 22/05/2022



Basaksehirspor gets Conference League after beating title winners.

Basaksehirspor gets 4th spot following win against title winners Trabzonspor with 3:1 scoreline and gets to Conference League as their opponents did play game in relaxed mood as would been expected.

With Trabzonspor winning title 4 weeks ago, Trabzonspor did reduce level of its performance as would been expected and this could be seen during Basaksehirspor as it didnt get into game during 1st half. In all fairness, it did improve on 2nd half with providing much more attacking game but still it wasnt on same level and plus Basaksehirspor which did show in this game performance that it wants to get Conference League spot would not easily lose that spot as Basaksehirspor goalkeeper has provided some important saves during game. Trabzonspor did end season with loss but its been expected loss as opponent had an important aim to achieve.

Basaksehirspor did show in recent week high level performance and even through in more recent weeks did lose its advantage for 4th spot, it did what needs to be done in this game and would be competing at Conference League next season.

Trabzonspor hence ends with loss in the season which it ended for title and now would focus into summer transfer window as it wants to be successful in Champions League.

Fenerbahce ends season at 2nd spot with Ismail Kartal likely to leave club.

Fenerbahce has ended season with confident result of 5:0 against Yeni Malatyaspor which brought them ticked to the Champions League 2nd qualifying round and also has been good end for Ismail Kartal.

Even through prior to game Fenerbahce didnt secure 2nd spot, all of the circumstances did point towards them to get as they did play against side which been relegated weeks ago and didnt win for long time. In addition, red card which been brought by opponent did lead them to get such confident win. Despite of great end of the season by Ismail Kartal, it does look like Jorge Jesus would be joining in the end of the season with saying farewell message in the end of the season. Fenerbahce did have good ending but it is likely to have intensive summer transfer window to make competitive for European football.

Fenerbahce ends season at high but main reason for such ending would be ending with Ali Koc hoping his risky move would pay back.

Besiktas ends season with draw against Konyaspor.

Besiktas ends season with draw against Konyaspor in game which described whole season of the side, while Konyaspor despite of some down moments during season did have great season and got European football in well-deserved manner.

It needs to be mentioned Konyaspor very likely would provide even more stronger game against Besiktas if it did have higher chances for 2nd spot or any other position, while Besiktas did provide similar game in previous game with controlling game but failing to score which does show once again that Besiktas does need to get quality attacking player as Valerien Ismael made it clear after game and on previous week. On other hand, Konyaspor does have quality side and if making some good additions for next season it could have pretty good season both in Europe and domestically.

Besiktas is among sides which need to go through some squad revision to be title contenders in next season.
