Turkish Super Lig Wrap : The Battle Goes On !

Chase for Europe   is getting hotter in the Turkish Super League......

After Galatasaray and Besiktas win their match  on Saturday, second place still   up for grabs !

But, for now Galatasaray  one step ahead of Besiktas with one point lead.....

As we go into the last two weeks  in the Turkish Super League...

Going will get though !

For second place  , Galatasaray travels to Trabzon and Besiktas visits Elazig
In the last weekend, they are both home......

 Galatasaray will host Erciyes and Besiktas face Genclerbirligi !

One point, before this weekend Galatasaray will play in the Turkish Cup Final against

Eskisehirspor on Wednesday....

After that match they will Travel to Trabzon from Konya where the Turkish Cup Final will take place.

This will be huge burden on Galatasaray team.....

Their opponent  Trabzonspor are trying to finish the season in fourth place so they could play in the Europa League next season !

Along with Trabzon, Sivas, Kasimpasa and Karabuk still have chance to finish fourth place.....

On the other hand, Besiktas's  opponent Elazig  is trying to stay alive in the league !

It  is a do or die match for Elazig !

After Antalya and Kayseri relegated this past weekend , third team who will relegate is unknown for now


This will go down to the wire too....

Will it be Elazig ,Gaziantep , Erciyes, Rize or Konya ?

This past weekend , Erciyes, Konya, and Rize gain huge advantage......

Elazig with winning in Antalya  , send Antalya to lower division and kept their fight for staying alive!

In Rize , Godfrey Oboabona actually saved Rize in the very last seconds of the match by scoring the goal ...


Greek International player Gekas was also savior....

He scored  the equalizer goal against  Karabuk  in the last minutes of the match....


That was huge for Konya...

Gekas  saved Akhisar team before too !


Akhisar this weekend after they received Turkish Champions Fenerbahce with flowers beat them 3-1 !

Was this let down by Fenerbahce ....

After winning their 19th title last weekend ........

I don't thinks so !

They were not focused for this match....


Lastly,  few words to Galatasaray and Besiktas fans......

It was very funny to see while Galatasaray losing against Genclerbirligi, fans chanting "Mancini resign " in Arena !

And Besiktas fans using absurd chanting against team CEO !

While their team Besiktas was winning on the pitch.......

It is very difficult to understand Turkish Soccer fans,sometimes !

We welcome Balikesirspor to the Turkish Super League ...

Ghana goal keeper Richard Kingson  plays for Balikesirspor ....

After 38 years, Balikesirspor  moved up along with Istanbul B.B. to the Turkish Super League.

The third team will be known after the play-offs....

So, battle for second place, Europa League and staying alive , goes on !

It could well go down to the wire.....

Enjoy it .
