As I mentioned in my preview article, there were many surprises and ugly scenes in the Turkish SPOR TOTO Super league too!
Last week, Turkish soccer was rocked by a bad news, coach getting stab during the match in the first division match in Turkey....
On Monday, all of the foreign media, was letting world know about the incident in Gazinatep !
The bad news travels pretty fast when this happens in Turkey....
The New York times even had carried the news...here is the New York Times news...
"A linesman in Gaziantep, Turkey, was injured when he was hit in the head by objects thrown onto the field, forcing a league match between Bursaspor and Gaziantepspor to be abandoned. The Turkish Football Federation said it was investigating."
I am very sorry to start to review of the 5th weekend with this ugly indecent...
But, All the world news agencies are talking about this ugly incident!
When this is going to stop in Turkish soccer?
******************************
Now the review of the weekend......
Three team had a shot to claim the leagues top spot from Bursaspor, but they could not do it despite the match between Gazinatep and Bursaspor did not finish because of ugly incident after the ref called the match off!
On Friday Trabzon had a chance but they lost to the team that had zero points coming in to the match...
Instead, Trabzon lost at home with huge score against Manisaspor.
This was Manisaspor's first three points and win in the league...
With a new hired coach and last years leading goal scorer Makakula coming to Manisaspor, gave a fresh blood to the team.....
Makakula scored two while Canadian international player Josh Simpson scored one for Manisa...
Trabzonsspor only goal came by their midfielder Selcuk Inan....
Trabzonspor missed a very important chance to go on top with this loss!
On Saturday, Kayserispor had a chance to grab the lead but they also could not do it!
Kayserispor went down in Antalya against Medikal Park Antalyaspor with 2-1 score...
On Sunday, after Trabzon and Kayserispor pass the plate, Besiktas could not get a win in the derby match against Fenerbahce too..
They were lucky and smart to tied the match to collect one point.....
But, that was not enough to capture the top spot in the league...
In the derby match ,Besiktas looked very bad in the first half....
Huge mistake by Besiktas keeper Hakan Arikan and Besiktas defense, cost them a goal!
Fenerbahce's new transfer Mamadou Niang , scored the goal for Fenerbahce...
Fenerbahce just could not get the second goal after the first goal....
Fenerbahçe found more chances to increase it's lead but they could not do it..
That cost them the win in this match...
Coach Aykut Kocaman's wrong player subs did not help this too....
Taken Alex out of the match was wrong on his part!
In the second half Besiktas looked better the whole second half....
Besiktas coach made a smart move and put tall striker Bobo in to the match...
And that paid off for Besiktas and Because of Bobo, Besiktas earned penalty kick..
After Fenerbahce keeper Volkan Demirel brought down ,Bobo in the box , the referee called the penalty kick and Guti took the penalty and he scored...
In this match, Besiktas keeper Hakan Arikan left the field on a stretcher with a concussion and young Cenk Gonen took his place...
A draw was good for Besiktas but not good for Fenerbahce.....
After the match Kocaman said "Seven points in five games, that is definitely undesirable. I don’t think any Fenerbahçe fans can accept that.”
Also on Sunday,Karabuk thrashed Genclerbirligi 3-0, thanks to Emmanuel Emenike, while Istanbul BuyukSehir beat Konyaspor with one goal.
Galatasaray wins their back to back third match....
On Sunday Galatasaray , after losing the first two matches in the league they manage to win their last three matches with narrow scores!
They did that again in Izmir on Sunday...
They beat Bucaspor with midfielder Ayhan Akman’s goal ....
Galatasaray climb to seventh place in the Turkish Super League...
Elsewhere on Sunday, Sivasspor drew Eskisehirspor 1-1, Ankaragucü defeated Kasımpasa 3-0
UGLY MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL............
Turkish Super league's top team Bursaspor traveled to Gaziantep to play Gazinatepspor on a Monday night football match, but the match was stopped by referee, after linesman was injured .
The incident occurred after Bursaspor scored against home team Gaziantepspor in the 56th minute to lead 1-0.
Bursaspor is the only teams who represent Turkey in the Champions League this season.
So, while all of the teams played their fifth weekend matches, Bursaspor and Gaziantep has to wait for the decison to come form Turkish Football federation...
You could bet your bottom dollars, Bursaspor will earn thee points out of this match!
Bursaspor still on top of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League with 12 points despite the Monday night match that did not finish...

Hi Dear
ReplyDeleteHaving grievance to hear that Turkish coach had been stabbed during the tournament. This is a shameless task done by Rebellions.
So match was stopped early in second half with score 0-1. So why exactly shall Bursa be given 3 points. TFF needs to review their policy as this simplistic answer punishes all the other teams in the Lig by giving 3-0 wins when such a result is far from certain......amazingly they did not do this when Mondragon had a noise bomb explode next to his head in Kadikoy......wonder why?????????
