What happened in Turkish football today? 26/05/2022



Sivasspor wins its 1st Turkish Cup by beating Kayserispor with 3:2 scoreline

Sivasspor wins its first Turkish Cup final with 3:2 scoreline against Kayserispor as both sides did provide high level and tempo game and did everything to win this cup but Sivasspor looked to be more willing especially starting from 2nd half.

Sivasspor head coach Riza Calimbay did state several times prior to game that side would be taking this game into priority and would do everything to win this game and it has shown such performance during 120 minutes of the game with getting behind on 33rd minute and later got scoreline into 2:2 during 2nd extra time but did stay focussed on its task and providing high tempo and attacking game. Looking how side played with full concentration and organisation it was seen that players been highly focussed to get Turkish Cup and just did that. Without doubt hero of the game has been Kayode who has scored on 117th minute winning goal after conceding on 113rd minute. It needs to be noted that Sivasspor did provide good performances domestically in recent years but didnt get any titles with Riza Calimbay, therefore this been highly deserved long time title even if it played 1st time in Turkish Cup final.

Kayserispor in other hand also provided top level game and has shown that it really wanted to win this Turkish Cup with providing pressure into Sivasspor goal and in all fairness Kayserispor didnt deserve any less than Sivasspor as both sides did provide its best performance despite of it playing last game of the season. It needs to be mentioned that it didnt let hence Sivasspor do get full control of the game with providing organised game both in defence and in the attack which did make game exciting one without doubt. Therefore, it is hard to state that side which wanted cup more has won it, as Kayserispor also really wanted and showed such great performance with after 2:2 trying to get winning goal before penalty. Meanwhile, even through Kayserispor did lose final game it did has outstanding campaign with beating Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor before final.

Sivasspor has won Turkish Cup for first time in its history during its 1st final and has got ticket to Europa League where it would enter at play-off round of qualifying stage.

Both Besiktas CEO candidates announced they administrative board.

Both of the Besiktas CEO candidates Fuat Cimen and Ahmet Nur Cebi have presented they CEO candidates prior to election which would be taking place on 28th May as current CEO is coming out as strong favourites.

It has been stated on our previous post about this subject area and also been stated by Fuat Cimen that current Besiktas CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi performance in previous season hasnt been great one as side did make much older side which led for poor results both domestically and also at Champions League. However, Ahmet Nur Cebi does have strong advantage due of experience and also good performances in previous seasons while Fuat Cimen is not well known both in the club and outside of the team. It needs to be mentioned that Fuat Cimen does state that he would win election without doubt but this statement is mainly due to show confidence to outside world.

Ahmet Nur Cebi is coming out as strong candidate as he did some revisions to administrative board team.

Lazio are interested to transfer Yunus Akgun.

It is reported that Lazio are showing strong interested with Galatasaray player Yunus Akgun, who showed without doubt high performance at Adana Demirspor and played important role for such great season for them.

With showing such strong performance at Adana Demirspor and also very likely Italian clubs did follow its performance due of Mario Balloteli, it could be accepted for him to recieve offer from this particular country. It needs to be mentioned that Lazio which is side which tends to focus into European spots at domestic league, would be good option for Yunus Akgun to develop as player and also show his skills. Only question is due of experience and his willingness to play for Galatasaray which might be prevention for him to join Italian side.

Therefore, it might be questionable if he would be adapted to Italian league and also side in short notice due of experience, but if he shows good performance there then it could be option for him.

Results:
Turkish Cup, Final:
Kayserispor 2:3 Sivasspor
