What happened in Turkish football today? 29/05/2022



Sivasspor ends struggling season with historical Turkish Cup title.

Even through Sivasspor didnt provide very good performance at the Super League compare to previous season, it still could see following season successful one as it has won Turkish Cup for 1st time during this season.

It needs to be mentioned that start of the season for Sivasspor has not been an ideal one as it didnt get to proper stage of the Conference League and also didnt show high great start at the Super League where despite of some moments when it got into good results, did struggle and did end just above mid-point of the standing. But it needs to be mentioned that starting from semi-final games, when it became clear it would not have any chances to get European spot in the Super League, it has given full attention to Turkish Cup where it did show good performance with focussing into organising and patient game and in the end has got its first title at Turkish Cup with beating Kayserispor at final and got into Europe 3rd season back-to-back.

Sivasspor did end hence season in high and historical note despite of having not very good season in overall.

Emre Belozoglu has got maximum from his side after joining it.

Basaksehirspor performance during this season could be also treated as was Fenerbahce season in sense that of results and performance before Emre Belozoglu and after him.

Okan Buruk who has experienced so far only title for Basaksehirspor did have very poor start of the season with providing poor and ineffective performance to extend that it was above of relegation zone. But when Emre Belozoglu joined side, Basaksehirspor started showing high tempo and positive game which brought back-to-back wins which naturally led them to raise as high as getting close to title contenders. During 2nd half of the season it did have some downsides especially towards end of the season, with getting risk of losing Conference League spot but getting win in last game against title winners brought them European spot. Now Basaksehirspor would certainly focus to learn from some mistakes which happened this season and make more competitive side for next season.

Emre Belozoglu is having lots of potential as coach and time would show how he would perform with side which also has high potential at the domestic league. 

Rizespor start getting point too late for sure.

All of the relegated sides did have very dissapointing performance which hence should not be suprised that all of the teams has been relegated within 2 weeks left on the season.

It needs to be mentioned that one of the sides which has been pretty unexpected has been Rizespor as it does have some quality players and in fact has Pohjanpolo who has been one of the main contenders from best goalscorer of the season. In all fairness, it needs to be mentioned that Rizespor towards end of the season did rise tempo and even got win against Trabzonspor at the moment when it was still not securing title but its been pretty too late for them and it needed lots of luck among winning.

Rizespor might be relegated but it has potential to rise again to top league after 1 season for sure.
