What happened in Turkish football today? 03/05/2024



Besiktas has regained confidence prior to Turkish Cup game against Rizespor.

Besiktas has got an important win against Rizespor at home ground with 3:2 scoreline as team has hence got crucial win for top 4 position which would mean it would get European spots and also regained morale and confidence prior to Turkish Cup semi-final 2nd leg game against Ankaragucu.

It needs to be noted that Besiktas did show signs of willigness and in fact did show very good response after conceding an early goal on 5th minute as it did find an equalised with Colley after 2 minutes. With taking account that Rizespor also did come out for win as it tried to keep its European football spots alive, Besiktas did provide some positive football with looking for goals and also control of the game and did create some important issues. Despite of all that, it needs to be mentioned winning goal did come at the end of the game from crucial game from Worsall which did show that there were differences of how team performed both in defence and attack and since side needs to improve its defensive game especially prior to game against Ankaragucu at semi-final but still Besiktas did show some positive game and does provide some positive view for last 3 games and Turkish Cup.

As been noted, Rizespor did also provide some good performance as it did come out for win as it aiming for European places and to some extend did lose 2 points due of unlucky goal it has missed from Joe Worrall. Still, this performance does provide some positive view for last 3 games at the season.

Besiktas hence did win an important game with good performance at attacking game especially and did regain confidence for last 3 games at the league but most important for 2nd leg of Turkish Cup final against Ankaragucu.

A point for both Trabzonspor and Samsunspor will be good result.

Trabzonspor would be aiming to make its 3rd spot position even more stronger as 4 weeks are left until end of the season as it would be playing Black Sea derby game at away game.

It needs to be mentioned that both sides to have different aims in the end of the season but to some extend both are getting close to achieve it as even point for both sides would provide even more advantage to achieve it. With Trabzonspor having 5 point advantage over Basaksehirspor and Samsunspor being 6 points from relegation zone both sides would aim to show calm but same time targeted game. With looking into form of Trabzonspor, regardless how unstable it is, still would be looking good as an aim to end season at 3rd spot is getting close.

Trabzonspor are favourite but Samsunspor would be expected to show some organised game to get at least point for sure.

Hatayspor has terminated contract with Volkan Demirel

Hatayspor has terminated contract with its head coach Volkan Demirel as side didnt manage to win during recent 4 weeks as team aims to stay at the league.

As it is known, it was expected for Hatayspor to have difficult season due of earthquake which took place in last February as team is not playing at home and even through it did start season in surprising strong manner, this factors did play its role. It could be unfair to state that Volkan Demirel could be blamed for such poor result but it is clear that he is unable to find solutions as he stated himself some weeks ago and hence this decision has been made between parties. Stating that Volkan Demirel for sure would get special place at club and whole city due of his positive actions and statements following devastating earthquake at Hatay last February.

With 4 weeks to go, Hatayspor would be aiming to turn around its poor result with new coach likely from within club but again team's effort should be praised as it was team which had most difficult conditions during this season.
