Trabzonspor gets an easy win against Fatih Karagumruk and reaches to Turkish Cup final.
Trabzonspor has got a confident scoreline against Fatih Karagumruk with 4:0 scoreline in Istanbul as it shown dominant game during 2nd half and has risen aggregate scoreline from 2 legs to 7:2 scoreline.
It needs to be mentioned that game has started at pretty low tempo without many chances in duration of 1st half which could be seen as expected as scoreline has been suitable for Trabzonspor and also Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul does tend to provide this kind of games as it is stadium which is hard to fill apart of Champions League final games due of it location. Coming to game Trabzonspor did start game at very low tempo as Fatih Karagumruk but with Paul Onuachu scoring great goal at 54th minute, it has opened game with Fatih Karagumruk losing concentration of the game and Trabzonspor using openings at defence for its advantage. Hence, Trabzonspor as it is known does give Turkish Cup its priority for long time as it would be shortest track at European football and does provide advantage over 3rd spot. This win would hence provide an important motivation and confidence both for Turkish Cup final and last 3 games of the season.
Fatih Karagumruk did play 2nd leg at home but interestingly it did provide much stronger performance and organised game in Trabzon as it did failed to raise tempo for finding winning goal before conceding and after conceding it has broken even more. Now, Fatih Karagumruk would need to focus for survival race at the league as it would meet league leaders Galatasaray on 12th May.
Trabzonspor hence reaches to Turkish Cup final which it takes as priority for long time and would meet with Besiktas who also takes this tournament into priority during this season.
Besiktas reached to Turkish Cup final with goal from Muci.
Since chances of Super League league title has been dropped to null at Besiktas, team has made it clear several times that its main aim for rest of the season would be to win Turkish Cup and goal from Ernest Muci during 2nd leg against Ankaragucu has made crucial step for this aim to be reached.
It needs to be mentioned that it is hard to state that Besiktas did provide very good performance in this game at home and in fact during whole tie, but the factor that Ankaragucu did have an issue with converting high number of the chances has led for Besiktas to get to the final. It needs to be mentioned that main role for this success has been played both from crucial saves in 2 legs from Mert Gunok and also good performance from defenders. Still, it needs to be stated that Ernest Muci did also raise performance during 2nd half mainly due of tactical changes and subsitutes at half-time. Still, it needs to be mentioned that it would need to improve if teams aims to win final game.
Besiktas hence got into final game of Turkish Cup and is being 90+ minutes away from ending such poor season with title but it would need to improve its performance for that game.
Only thing missing at Ankaragucu has been to score.
Ankaragucu would be seeing themselves to be unlucky in this tie against Besiktas as in all fairness it could be mentioned that side from capital has been more willing in this both legs but did have an issue with converting chances.
Without doubt, with taking account quality differences and capacity of Ankaragucu, only thing which was missing in this tie has been winning goal as that goal could be in fact be enough to get to the next stage. As was seen following game, not getting to final game has been highly dissapointed at Ankaragucu but it would need to get positive from this game and would give them chance to show strong performance in last 3 weeks of the season and look optimistically for upcoming season.
Ankaragucu did provide good performance in this semi-final tie but as team it does need to improve its attacking as it didnt find that crucial goal.
