What happened in Turkish football today? 17/01/2023



Fenerbahce has got dominant win against Adanaspor as Batshuayi scores 4 goals.

Fenerbahce got confident and dominating win against Adanaspor during Turkish Cup 5th round game against struggling 1st league side with 4 goals coming from Michy Batshuayi as without dobt he is sending strong message to head coach Ismail Kartal.

Even through Fenerbahce did come out to game heavily with players who didnt get much playing time during this season, due of quality factors between side, general dominating performance it has shown at the league and also factor that it is being Turkish Cup holders it was expected for Fenerbahce to show strong performance and they did just that. It needs to be stated that prior to opening goal from Lincoln who has returned from injury, Fenerbahce has been controlling possession but didnt yet show dominance likely due of players not being used to play with each other. However,after finding goal Fenerbahce has got full control of the game as Michy Batshuayi has scored next 4 goals and hence single-handedly has lost morale of Adanaspor. Therefore, Fenerbahce did get well-deserved win and didnt allow Adanaspor to get into game at any moment.

Even through Adanaspor did try to show some organising defensive game which it did in start of the game, it needs to be mentioned that during 90 minutes it has failed to get any control of the game and only had 1 chance at Fenerbahce goal. 

Fenerbahce hence did get a confident win without using too much effort and without doubt Michy Batshuayi has reminded everyone that he is being key player for this team.

Besiktas get confident win against ineffective Eyupspor.

Besiktas has qualified to last 16 of the Turkish Cup after getting confident win against 1st league leaders Eyupspor with 4:0 scoreline as it has been side which did control game from start to an end.

Despite of getting confident win against Eyupspor, it needs to be mentioned that Besiktas didnt provide performance which was expected from them especially during 1st half and Istanbul giant did get this outcome thanks to the passive and ineffective performance of Eyupspor which been surprising from them as it was expected from them to see such game as preparation for Super League. Still, on positive note Besiktas player Cenk Tosun did manage to score 2 goals which would provide motivation and confidence to player for upcoming games which would be also case for Rebic and Masouka who did get playing time after long period.

Besiktas hence did get a confident win and did score 11 goals without conceding and team is showing big  improvement with Fernando Santos.

Galatasaray will come out to Umraniyespor as opportunity to regain confidence

Galatasaray would be starting its Turkish Cup campaign against 1st league side Umraniyespor which been relegated from top league on previous season as clear favourite.

It needs to be mentioned that during recent weeks despite of getting point, Galatasaray are showing some decline of performance and taking account that it would be coming out to the game where it is seen as clear favourite it would be expected to provide some effective performance with players who dont get much playing time on their team during this season as Okan Buruk would be able to check conditions of this players. Galatasaray hence would be expected to show an effective attacking game with looking for an early goal.

Galatasaray hence would be seeing this game as  good opportunity to regain confidence and motivation among players and hence would perform according to that.
