What happened in Turkish football today? 04/05/2023



Basaksehirspor did get small advantage after Ankaragucu at Turkish Cup semi-final

Basaksehirspor has got an important win against Ankaragucu during Turkish Cup 1st leg game with goal from Figuiredo right in the end of the game despite of playing with one less man for longer than one men.

It would be needed to spend that Basaksehirspor did come out as favourite to the game and has started in such manner as it did get some very good chances during 1st half and did in fact find a goal which has been disallowed due of close offside. Therefore, Basaksehirspor even through didnt specifically get very close despite of disallowed goal and could have provided much more creative in attack it did look to be stronger side in this period. However, red card at the end of the 1st half due of preventing goal opportunity of Ankaragucu player did affect to team performance as it started providing much more defensive game without showing too much game and more focussed into not losing than winning. However, with Ankaragucu did create some chances it didnt provide too much pressure has provided some brave attacking game in the end of the game which it did use effectively with good attacking organisation ending with Figuiredo goal.

Ankaragucu needs to be mentioned did provide some good organisation at defence which prevented for Basaksehirspor to get full control and dominance of the game even through opponent has been more active. However, not same could be stated for attacking of the team as even through it did get some opportunities during 90 minutes, it did look to be pretty passive including 2nd half when it had an extra men. It needs to be mentioned that Ankaragucu did show some organising game in overall and did play for win but the factor that it didnt show similar tempo game as it did with Tolunay Kafkas on recent games iwht looking much more passive game did prvent them to get an advantage for 2nd leg game but still 1:0 is being scoreline which it could turn around in Ankara.

The tie is still open but when looking at quality factor it does need to be mentioned that Basaksehirspor has bit more advantage over Ankaragucu after 1st leg.

Fenerbahce did play for a draw on 1st leg and did get it.

Compare to previous game between Sivasspor and Fenerbahce, latter side didnt need to win and draw would be seen pretty good outcome and this matter has affected into how both sides has performed for 90 minutes.

Playing at away game in the 2-leg Turkish Cup semi-final game against Sivasspor would mean that getting draw at away game would be seen as good outcome and hence Fenerbahce did provide its main tactics according to that focussing into midfield. It needs to be mentioned that during first 12 minutes Fenerbahce has been side which did get control of the game and did create some good chances and possibly did look for an early goal but with that goal not coming it has provided some confidence to opponent and themselves has provided much midfielding performance. Its been important for Fenerbahce to end game without any injuries as among Turkish Cup it also fighting for league title. 

Fenerbahce hence did get good outcome during 1st leg game and possibly could be looking for win but due of possible counter-attacks looking more controlling.

Sivasspor did improve a lot at midfielder from previous game

Due of difficult conditions and aims between league and cup for Sivasspor it was expected to provide much better performance in this game and they did just that with looking much organised side.

Main focus for Sivasspor has been to improve its performance at defence and midfielding area and even through defence wasnt still perfect as Fenerbahce did create some chances, looking in overall it did provide good midfielding performance. With Fenerbahce as respond did also provide similar tactics and adding quality differences did prevent Sivasspor to get some good chances and goal as it did come out for win if it gets chances. It needs to be mentioned that there were moments when Sivasspor did even get an opportunity for win but when looking in overall it didnt provide game which would bring them better advantage for 2nd leg.

Sivasspor would have tougher game on 2nd leg due of potential good support from Fenerbahce fans, but again anything can happen in this tie yet.
