WEEK 23: REVIEW...
Fenerbahce miss opportunity to wide point deficit
Turkish Super League leaders Fenerbahce have missed on opportunity to wide the point gap between archrivals when they were held a 2-2 draw with indomitable Sivasspor at home.
Fenerbahce entertained Sivasspor in a packed Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday, a day after their city rivals Besiktas edged out another city rivals Galatasaray at home.
Although the hosts took the lead in 15th minute with a header from energetic Tuncay, the visitors leveled four minutes later when Gokhan found the net a flashing free-kick. Ex-Fener defender Servet headed a corner-kick into the net of his former team eight minutes from the first half, giving a 2-1 lead to the visitors.
Hosts stepped up pressure in the second half and right-winger Mehmet Yozgatli, substitute for Aurelio, equalized in 67th with a distant strike. In 70th, Brazilian playmaker Alex hit the post and hit woodwork once more three minutes later. And the leaders dropped two more points following a loss to Antalyaspor last week in away, once again missing the chance to open an eight-point gap with closest competitors.
BESIKTAS MOVES INTO SECOND PLACE!...
A late Luis Ricardinho penalty helped Besiktas sink Galatasaray 2-1 and leapfrog their opponents into second place in the table.Emre Asik seemed to have salvaged a point for the visitors with his 63rd-minute effort after Besiktas had taken a 32nd-minute lead through Division Bobo.
But Brazilian Ricardinho made no mistake from the spot with just six minutes remaining to send Galatasaray home empty-handed.Also on Saturday, Denizli beat Ankaragucu at home 1-0 . League's surprise team Kayserispor who is on fourth and has same points with Today's derby match Loser Galatasaray. They both have 38 points. League's new second place team Besiktas has 39 points. Five behind league Leader Fenerbahce before Sunday important match against Sivasspor at Kadikoy.
Fenerbahce has to win on Sunday otherwise They will jeopardize their run for the top spot. Sivasspor could be really dangerous with Pini Balili. He has speed and technic to score goals. Fenerbahce defense will have hard time with Balili on Sunday,in my opinion. Sivasspor is also coach my Their former player Bulent. Can he pull what Galatasay former captain pulled against his former team in the Fortis Turkish cup?.... We will see!....
SUPER SATURDAY IN THE TURKCELL SUPER LEAGUE!...
TO BE OR NOT TO BE TIME FOR GALATASAY AND BESIKTAS!
IT IS CRUNCH TIME FOR BOTH TEAMS............................
The most important match of the week will take place on Saturday .The game between Besiktas and Galatasaray on Saturday is very critical for both teams. Winner will gain ....loser will danger their bit to the top spot.
Besiktas will host defending Champions Galatasaray at İnönu Stadium this evening in the first İstanbul derby of the season's second half.
EVERYTHING ON THE LINE!
Galatasaray is second with 38 points and Besiktas third with 36. This means that if the Eagles win they would move to second, while defending champions Galatasaray Lions would drop to third. that's why everthing will be on the line...
Elsewhere on Saturday, relegation-threatened Denizlispor Roosters host Ankaragücü and Kayserispor locks horns with Caykur Rizespor, another relegation candidate. Both matches kick off at 2 p.m. Turkey time
