Galatasaray continues showing dominated game with beating Gaziantep at home.
Intense title race between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray continues with full excitement as Galatasaray has beaten Gaziantep with 2:1 scoreline as it dominated 2nd half and in total got 5 posts from its shots.
It needs to be stated that Galatasaray didnt necessarily start game as it has wished for as it didnt get full control of the game and did concede first from Kabadag on 29th minute as opponent did create some chances. However, very likely Okan Buruk did have heated and in same time motivated talks with his players during half-time as we saw different Galatasaray who did create high number of the chances and has dominated game with getting chances back-to-back and had 4 posts while 1st shot to post did come on 1st half. Galatasaray hence has shown strong willingness to win game as been noted several times at our blog that any loss of the points could cost a lot at the end of the season and side could be losing title. Galatasaray meanwhile did show better reaction on 2nd half than it did on previous week.
Gaziantep did show good game in 1st half with creating some chances and some willingness which did lead them to find score but during 2nd half it has went entirely defensive and let opponents to dominate game which led them to lose game.
Galatasaray has managed to overcome another barrier at title race and did show again that even with poor game,it would be very tough to beat them.
Trabzonspor continues losing games as Kasimpasa has beaten them this time
Trabzonspor continues showing ineffective performance in recent weeks as it did lose its 3rd game back-to-back to Kasimpasa with 3:2 scoreline as it couldnt provide much pressure to opponent.
Trabzonspor in similar manner as was in previous game has been side which did found an early goal, this time with Enis Destan at 19th minute and to some extend didnt show poor game on rest of the half. However, it couldnt resist strong performance by Kasimpasa on 2nd half as it does seem like that team continues to use its style of game to go ahead and then play for scoreline which it needs to be mentioned opponents are aware of this tactic and know how to respond to it.
Kasimpasa hence did show lots of character during 2nd half and provided good attacking game with finding 3 goals with using weaknesses which been visible at Trabzonspor during recent weeks and got important confidence boost for upcoming weeks.
Trabzonspor hence continues showing poor game and it needs to go through some serious changes mentally and tactically if it wants to get 3rd spot at the end of the season.
Fenerbahce has won with good organising game against Ankaragucu.
Fenerbahce has got a very important win against Ankaragucu with 2:1 scoreline and did show pretty organised performance especially at defensive game while Cengiz Under has found 2 goals which brought win to team.
Even through some people might see that there is drop of performance in the attack, we are getting into weeks where quite naturally both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce will be focussing not how they would win but just to win game as losing any points could cost both sides its chances for title. Fenerbahce hence has been mainly focussed into defensive game which it has done right as only conceded goal did come from mistake from goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic who didnt time right his movement towards ball. Afterwards, Fenerbahce did show right reaction as it provided stronger game as among Cengiz Under scoring 2 great goals, has also showed strong willingness and slowly started getting more leading role at this team which would be surely important for team which aims for title.
Therefore, Fenerbahce are continuing its title race in confident manner with 2:1 scoreline at the game where it has shown good defensive game and used their chances effectively in attack.
