Galatasaray makes crucial step for title with beating Istanbulspor

Galatasaray makes an important step for league title as it has managed to beat Istanbulspor with 2:0 scoreline thanks to 2 goals from Mauro Icardi at the end of the both halves which now means that team would need to win upcoming 2 games to get title.

Galatasaray it needs to be mentioned did actually very good game especially during 1st half as it did lose tempo and creativity at the front but this could be seen normal as team needs to get win regardless how it manages to do so. Even through Galatasaray didnt necessarily did get too much control and dominance of the game, it didnt allow Istanbulspor to also get control of the game even through there were some moments when it did create some very good chances and could have scored goal. Meanwhile, it has also been important for Galatasaray to continue same logic and disciplinary after Nicolo Zaniolo red card. Hence, Galatasaray continues to winning game and becomes closer and closer for title even through it didnt show very good game but has shown that psychologically team set to win title.

Istanbulspor did come to the game with showing good performance and did get important points to get far from relegation zone and there were some good moments of the game as team did show good organisational game and did create some good chances. But it needs to be mentioned that Istanbulspor did miss touches to get win against quality opponent.

Galatasaray did get an important win regardless how it has performed and now would need to win next 2 games to get title.

Fenerbahce player Bright-Osayi Samuel has become injured.

Fenerbahce has got unwanted news prior to game against Trabzonspor as Bright-Osayi Samuel has become injured during today's training session but this not affect much into gaming plan as he didnt get much playing time in recent weeks.

As Fenerbahce are entering to last weeks of this season and still have small but possible chance for league title, it would be seeing this development without isuse as bad news especially taking account how much Jorge Jesus tends to rotate with his team for each game. Still, it would be expected for Jorge Jesus to have lots of plans for each game and also would have some tactical game without Osayi-Samuel as he did before so this news might not afect too much in sense of performance which it would provide on field.

With season coming to an end, there is possibility that Bright Osayi-Samuel did complete season but there is no development on this matter.

Fenerbahce makes deal with Ryan Kent for 3+1 years

It is reported that Fenerbahce did make transfer deal with Rangers player Ryan Kent for 1.7 million euro salary for 3+1 years contract.

Reports about Fenerbahce being interested with Ryan Kent and running negotiations has been taken place for some days arleady and it does look Fenerbahce did make first transfer deal during upcoming summer transfer window with Ryan Kent being highly potential player and could provide an important role and addition to Fenerbahce for upcoming season. Being high quality forward player he could be also fulfilling spot of  Enner Valencia if he does leave during upcoming summer transfer.

Hence, if deal is actually made Fenerbahce did make an important 1st signing in upcoming transfer window which would provide strength to team in upcoming season.
