Fenerbahce ends group stage at top spot after confident win against Spartak Trnava.
Fenerbahce has entered to Conference League last 16 stage as it has beaten Spartak Trnava with 4:0 scoreline as it did take some time to find an opening goal but once it did find that goal, it has got wins back-to-back. With Ludogorets winning 1:0 scoreline against Nordsjaelland now means that side will not play next round due of goal difference.
Fenerbahce did come out to the game with main priority to get through to the knockout stages and when it achieved that it would be waiting for preferable scoreline for them from Ludogorets and Nordsjaelland game and this did come as Fenerbahce did go through with goal difference due of 1:0 scoreline win from Ludogorets. Coming to the game, it needs to be stated that it did take some time for Fenerbahce to find a winning goal as it has been side prior to opening goal at 38th minute from Ferdi Kadioglu it has been side which did control game but due of good defensive game and performance of goalkeeper couldnt find that crucial goal. It needs to be stated that opening goal from Ferdi Kadioglu has been shown good attacking game in attack and has shown great touch when scoring goal. After that goal and also penalty goal from Tadic which later has been given to Spartak Trnava goal especially, Fenerbahce did get full control of the game with 2 goals from Edin Dzeko scored between 2 minutes. After that Spartak Trnava naturally has lost concentration and motivation of the game and Fenerbahce has provided patient and controllable game in last 30 minutes.
Spartak Trnava did come out to the game with 1 point and has already been relegated and hence it did come out as formality game and it needs to be stated that with level of the side it did provide good defensive and organised game until 38th minute. Despite of ending at last spot, Spartak Trnava did provide reasonably good performance.
Fenerbahce with putting some difficulties at this group due of last 2 game did lose games but still got result which it aimed for in the end of the day and ended group stage at top spot and would pass 2nd round of the competition.
Besiktas ends Conference League with win against Lugano
Besiktas has ended its very dissapointing Conference League campaign with high note as it got 2:0 win against fellow relegated side Lugano as Riza Calimbay did give playing time to its youngsters both due of lack of players available and status of the game.
With having very dissapointing Conference League campaign and also whole season and also pretty dissapointed game against Fenerbahce which has been first game for CEO Hasan Arat, it was expected for Besiktas to show some reaction which it did to some extend. It has also been important during this game for youngster to find a goal Emrecan Terzi at 88th minute as this would provide some confidence for his future career especially with finding at European competitions.
Lugano on their part didnt been highly motivated to game as their been arleady relegated and hasnt been entirely to the game which had some meaning like it did for Besiktas as game been played at empty stance.
Therefore, Besiktas has ended its Conference League which pretty good win with its youngsters against Lugano but in overall this group stage would be remembered as big failure for them.
Halil Umut Meler should be only one to decide his refereeing future.
Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler who has been beaten up in shocking manner from Ankaragucu ex-CEO Faruk Koca would need to make decision about his resignation or not himself and not from pressure from other parties.
Without doubt, Halil Umut Meler following events which took place following Ankaragucu and Rizespor has been mostly affected psychologically and harm which been done towards those events would have more impact rather than physically. Therefore, he would need to make decision to continue his refereeing career himself. With different CEOs and TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi calling for Meler to carry on his refereeing performance state that he should be staying mainly for being one of the leading referees and is seen as candidate for Euro 2024. Sadly, this statements does lack sympathy and empathy and not focussing into supporting difficult period which he is going through apart of condemnation of attack.
Clubs and TFF are calling for him to stay sadly are focussed more into image of Turkish football and to some extend self-interests rather than of Meler. Hence, decision should be made by himself.
