What happened in Turkish football today? 12/06/2023



Fenerbahce has got pretty easy win at Turkish Cup final.

Fenerbahce has won its first Turkish Cup after 9 years with getting confident win against Basaksehirspor as it also has been last game of Jorge Jesus as head coach of the team.

It needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce without doubt has got much more easier win than has been anticipated as an early goal from Michy Batshuayi which did come as early as 40 second from start of the game has led for Fenerbahce to control game as it wanted. Without doubt, 2nd goal once again from Batshuayi did make task much easier as opponent has failed to provide strong reaction and even allowed Fenerbahce to not provide high effort for rest of the game. Without doubt, main player of the game has been Arda Guler who has shown once again comfortable performance and played an important role at two goals scored by Batshuayi.

It has been important for Fenerbahce to end season at high note and has been good farewell from Jorge Jesus and also been 1st cup for Ali Koc.

Basaksehirspor provided very poor performance against Fenerbahce.

Basaksehirspor did come in very good form to the game when looking into last games of the Super League but still it was expected for them to show much better game as it has been final game.

Basaksehirspor has failed to provide any reaction to an early conceded goal and it has ended 1st half without single shot regardless on or off-target and with Emre Belozoglu reacting to this with 2 substitutes, this didnt have much effect into team until 2nd half. Basaksehirspor did raise tempo during 2nd half of the game with creating some chances but still wasnt too dangerous as Fenerbahce did show provide good defensive game and relaxation at midfielding area. Without doubt, such passive performance game from his team did lead Emre Belozoglu to be very dissapointed at the end fo the game. 

Basaksehirspor did have difficult season as did Fenerbahce and hence now it would be getting deserved rest and take some lessons from whole season for sure.

Fenerbahce signs Ryan Kent for 4-years.

Fenerbahce has signed Rangers player Ryan Kent for 4-years, making him first transfer not only for themselves during this summer transfer window but 1st transfer at Super League.

With being 1st transfer, he also been one of the first names which has been circulating at Turkish media and it needs to be mentioned that it has been an important signing as Kent is being player which keep looking for opportunities and does convert them pretty well as his stats show at Rangers and played an important role for some good results in recent weeks. Also signing him so early would sort out an adaptation which some English players tend to have in this league.

Hence, Fenerbahce did make first transfer of this summer transfer window and has high potential to show good performance in this club.
