Fenerbahce gets to quarter-final thanks to Enner Valencia goal
Fenerbahce has won Turkish Cup last 16 against 2nd league side Rizespor with 2:1 scoreline as it turned out to be more difficult than it was expected but Enner Valencia great header at the end of the game has brought them ticket to quarter-final.
It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce did start game with providing pressure towards Rizespor goal and created high number of opportunities and after scoring goal at 12th minute with Miha Zajc has continued to create chances. However, as game progressed Fenerbahce has slowed-down game which at first let to concede goal on 26th minute and afterwards failing to pass Rizespor defenders who has shown organised performance at the back. It needs to be mentioned also that for Fenerbahce coming out with big rotatition has also affected performance as side didnt provide similar level dominance which been used in the league game, and also in addition recent drop of performance has also affected to this game. Still, it was noted that Fenerbahce has provided higher pressure with creating lots of chances as it was clear team aims to win game until extra-time which it did that with great header from Enner Valencia.
Rizespor meanwhile didnt start game in good manner and it did look for first 20 minutes that it would not be great night for them, but as Fenerbahce reduced its pressure and Rizespor improved its defensive game it managed to score goal and keep scoreline at draw for long time. Rizespor hence might be eliminated but it did provide some issues to Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce hence got into quarter-final in pretty nervous game for them but great goal of Enner Valencia once again reminded that he is being key player at the team
Besiktas declining performance continued at Turkish Cup.
Besiktas has been eliminated from Turkish Cup after losing to Ankaragucu at penalty shoot-out as both sides did play an exciting game but in all fairness capital city side did want to win game much more.
Besiktas did continue providing two different performance in both halves of the game as it has been pretty ineffective during 1st half with also making huge rotation at the squad which did have direct impact of its performance and has led Ankaragucu to provide confident and strong performance for 120 minutes and penalties. Besiktas did raise performance during 2nd half where it took control of the game which led for game to go to extra-time and later to penalties, but when looking overall it needs to be admitted that Besiktas still struggles to provide top level performance in regular cases and continues not to provide high hopes for rest of the season at the league both due its performance and also point difference.
Besiktas hence continues to be having poor season which also led them for an early relegation from Turkish Cup and it needs to improve performace for its league aims.
Trabzonspor needs to learn lessons from 90 minutes during Umraniyespor game
It took 90 minutes for Trabzonspor to start showing its top level performance against underdogs Umraniyespor as it didnt look like it took game seriously during of 1st half performance which been controlled by Umraniyespor.
It is true that Trabzonspor did suffer from weather conditions as there has been strong win which included moment when ball has returned on field as it was going to out and Trabzonspor did find goals during extra-time when wind has been reduced but this is not being good excuse as in overall side did show some poor performance among having some big rotations. One of the positive aspects among showing such character during an extra time has been great performance of Yusuf Yazici during extra-time as he found 2 goals and provided assist and hence did show signs that he is getting back to strong performance after injury after so much criticism towards him.
Trabzonspor did achieve its aim with being at quarter-final of the tournament but there are many lessons which need to be learned from side.
