Besiktas has qualified to Turkish Cup final with single goal from Ernest Muci
Besiktas has reached to the Turkish Cup final with single goal from Ernest Muci against Ankaragucu as it has been tough game at the game where both sides has given all to get to the final game.
Following goalless draw in Ankara during 1st leg, it has been expected to be tight game with this game Istanbul giant did have an advantage of playing home and also an aim to save such season and it could be mentioned that this factor and also quality factor between both sides has played a role. Still, it would be tough to state that Besiktas did provide a good performance as it did show some control of the game during 2nd half of the 1st half. However, despite of finding a winning goal with great shot from Ernest Muci. Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned did create some good chances with crucial saves with Mert Gunok making some crucial saves but it needs to be mentioned that defence did lead lots of chances in its own goal. Still, Besiktas did use its advantage at home ground with strong detirmination from Muci.
Ankaragucu it needs to be mentioned did provide good performance as it has been better side during 1st half and also did show some confident attacking performance during 2nd half but it did have an issue with finding that crucial goal as either it didnt choose right decisions or right final touches as it didnt overpass Mert Gunok in many chances. Ankaragucu in all fairness did deserve to be at final when looking at effort but if team doesnt convert their chances, it would be hard to beat team especially like Besiktas.
Besiktas hence did get good opportunity to save its season as it qualified to Turkish Cup where it would be playing either against Trabzonspor and Fatih Karagumruk as it would be seeing that game with full concentration for sure.
Fenerbahce belief for title has been reduced during Konyaspor game.
Fenerbahce did come out for Konyaspor game with must win mentality if it wanted to keep its vague chances for title alive but it did look that players has been psychologically affected from Galatasaray getting result 6:1 on previous day.
It could be clearly seen that despite of controlling ball for almost whole game and creating some of the goal-scoring opportunities, Fenerbahce wasnt fully motivated and concentrated to the game as that classical fighting spirit at the team has been missing. Without doubt, Fenerbahce did come out to the field with a focus to win and wanted to do so, but factors of title are getting weaker did affect mentally and right now Fenerbahce has things into chances as it still has small chance if it manages to beat Galatasaray and wait for 1 loss from Galatasaray which is being low but still possible chance. For now, team would need to get mentally into believe and prepare for Kayserispor game but its more difficult to achieve than said.
Fenerbahce race could officially end on 12th May as game would be played and result at Galatasaray could even have more impact into pchygology of the players for sure.
Trabzonspor would aim to use its advantage to its own hand against Fatih Karagumruk
Trabzonspor would be aiming to keep its advantage at the Turkish Cup semi-final tie of 3:2 scoreline during 2nd leg game as its opponent are playing for survival at the league.
It needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor with focussing into ending season at 3rd spot, would also give more priority to Turkish Cup as it provides more advantages for next season Europa League where it would be starting at play-off round. Trabzonspor does provide unstable performance but it would be expected to provide full focus for this game as it is being its main aim in the last weeks of the season. Fatih Karagumruk despite of playing for survival at the league and having Galatasaray game on 12th May would be expected to show strong concentrated game as it did in 1st leg and aim to reduce 1 goal deficit at home.
Trabzonspor are being favourites but as would be expected Fatih Karagumruk would aim to show strong effective performance at the field for 90 minutes.
