Fenerbahce been much better side but didnt find that needed goal.
Fenerbahce has been relegated from Conference League despite of winning Sevilla at home ground with 1:0 scoreline as it has provided strong and attacking game but couldnt find a 2nd goal during 2nd half and has been relegated with 2:1 aggregate scoreline.
It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce has provided very good performance with showing controllable game during 1st half and has scored with Enner Valencia penalty and during 2nd half has been focussed into providing pressure towards Sevilla with creating high number of the chances. It did have managed to get high number of opportunities and has provided lots of worries to opponent defenders. In fact, Sevilla did fail to show its attacking game for 90 minutes and apart of some few chances didnt provide much issues to the Altay Bayindir. However, it needs to be mentioned that supporter of Fenerbahce who has thrown lighter into field which went into Sevilla goalkeeper and let for game to be stopped for 7 minutes has played probably main reason for this outcome as it slowed down Fenerbahce at the moments when game went into they hand.
It needs to be mentioned that apart of few moments of the Sivasspor didnt provide much pressure towards Fenerbahce goal and has tried to show some defensive game which it has managed to do in some parts but also its been lucky to some extend as Fenerbahce did look better on field.
Fenerbahce did everything to get through and needs to be praised for its effort and belief which it has shown until last minute of the game but it didnt find that key goal which would bring side to extra-time.
Sivasspor did lose belief as it conceded goal during 2nd half.
Sivasspor wasnt able to provide enough pressure and attacking game against Fiorentina during 2nd leg of Conference League last 16 stage game as it lost game with 4:1 scoreline and on overall aggregate been relegated with 5:1 scoreline.
Sivasspor did start game in pretty positive manner with providing good organising game and did go forward on some occassions and has found leading goal and in same an equaliser when coming to the aggregate with great goal from Erdogan Yesilyurt which did come which is being both well-organised and skillful goal. Unfortunately, that goal has been waking up call for FIorentina as it started providing much more pressure and start getting into chances and has scored an equaliser right in the end of the 1st half. This conceded goal without doubt did have negative impact on Sivasspor as it provided pretty poor game during 2nd half with conceding 3 more goals. With Fiorentina providing much more attacking game and scoring goals, more discouraged became Sivasspor which led them to lose in such manner.
Fiorentina possibly didnt start in great manner and did struggle until end of the 1st half but with finding an equaliser right in the end of the half has led them to provide much more pressure on Sivasspor and hence get confident result on the game and go to quarter-final with high confidence.
Sivasspor needs to be praised for its performance during 1st half but as soon as it did look they are losing this tie as Fiorentina used its opportunities side did lose self-belief which led to this outcome.
Basaksehirspor lacked fighting spirit against Gent
Basaksehirspor did lack concentration and also decline of performance level during Conference League game against Gent as it has conceded 3 goals from Gift Orban and failed to show any reaction.
With Basaksehirspor coming out to the game as favourites, it didnt look to be one as it looked to be very passive and inactive both prior to the 1st conceding goal and also following game when it has developed into 4:0. It needs to be mentioned that Basaksehirspor did show very good performance during group stage of the Conference League and did gain an important points to country, but it was showing some decline in all tournaments in this recent games and this has been reflected to this game against Gent. With Basaksehirspor being side which did gain league title and became regular at European competitions such unwillingness and not being able to provide fighting spirit regardless scoreline didnt suit team without doubt.
Basaksehirspor would now need to forget this game and be focussed and motivated once again for league aim of top 4 spots and also Turkish Cup for sure.
