BURSASPOR OPENS THE GAP ON TOP OF TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE




Turkey' defending Champions Bursaspor made it five in a row, not counting the last weekend match.

They are still the only team with perfect record in the Turkish SPOR TOTO Super league after the sixth week....

On Friday, Bursaspor beat Bucaspor with only one goal but managed to walk out of the field with that score at the end of the match....

Bursaspor's goal came by Huseyin Cimsir in the fourth minute of the match....

Huseyin Cimsir has not scored a goal, since 2008 season in the Turkish Super League!

Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam, made some gutsy moves and not started his starting keeper Ivankov after he was disappointed him against Valencia match...

He gave the starting job to young Turkish keeper Yavuz Ozkan....

He played good, except a couple mass up in the second half of the match...

Ertugrul Saglam also rested his starters because of Glasgow Rangers match in the Champions League match this coming Wendsday...


After this win, Bursaspor open the gap on top of the Turkish Super League..

Bursaspor with perfect record has 15 points and one game in the bank!


As I said in my 6th weekend preview article,this weekend matches, will be very hard fought matches...


Istanbul's big three's are feeling the heat from the Anatolian teams now!


Bursaspor will travel to Scotland to play in their second match in the Champions League against Rangers team...

Although Bursaspor havingg perfect record in Turkish League, they are not looking good in the Champions League!

After losing to Valencia at home with big score , they would need to at least get a draw in Scotland against Rangers...

Turkish football federation has issued a one-match stadium closure on Gaziantepspor

after fans threw objects onto the field that hit a linesman in the head during a league game.

forced a league match against Bursaspor to be abandoned. Bursaspor was leading 1-0.
The linesman required stitches to his head. It was not clear what hit him.



The outcome of the match will be decided by Turkish football federation soon.

what do you think ?

They should replay this match where it is left off?

Or should they punisg Gazinatep and give three points to Bursaspor?


TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE WEEK: 6 ,PREVIEW




Bursaspor kicks off week six......



The 6th weekend opens with Turkish Super League Leader Bursaspor against Bucasspor on Friday night in Bursa, Turkey.


The top team in the league , closed the 5th weekend after referee called off the match in Gazinatep because of linesman getting hit on a head with a object after Bursaspor scored a goal.Turkish Football Federation will make a decision soon .

So. The top team Bursaspor having one match on hand still front of Trabzon,Besiktas and Kayserispor with 2 points...

With a win on Friday night in Bursa with a home crowd , they could open the gap to 5 point!


Bucaspor is the new kid on the block ....

They won only one match in five matches and tied two and lost two...

They are brand new team and trying to be a total team!

Turkey's only team in the UEFA's Champions League competition, Bursaspor will have Rangers match on their mind too.

Bursaspor will play their second CL match on September 29th in Glasgow , Scotland against Rangers team.

Bursaspor should pass Bucaspor easily, but Bucaspor has some scoring powers!

Bucasspor's two losses were against Besiktas and Galatasaray with narrow margin scores...

In the last five matches, Bucaspor only scored 4 goals and allowed 4 goals...

On the other hand , Champions Bursaspor, scored 7 goals in 4 matches not counting the last week's goal and allowed only one goal...

Friday’s Bursaspor v Bucaspor match will start at 8 p.m.local time (13:00 ET)

SATURDAY.....

On Saturday there are three matches in the league...

In Ankara, two of the Ankara's teams Ankaragucu and Genclerbirligi will face each other..

Ankaragucu has 7 points in 5 matches while Gencler has only 5 points in five matches

This will be hard fought match between two clubs...


Also on Saturday , Eskisehirspor will host Gaziantepspor in the 6th week...

Eskisehirspor has only 2 points and they are second from bottom of the barrel!


Gaziantep also is hurting for points too..

Just like the match in Ankara this match will be hard fought match too..

Saturday's other match will be between Besiktas and Antalyaspor in Istanbul..

Besiktas has to win this match...

On the other hand Antalyaspor, will not be easy team to beat..

Antalyaspor earned 8 points in the last five matches in the league!

Besiktas sit on third place with 10 points,,

With a win they could well be on top of the league if Bursaspor does not win on Friday night..........

Sunday.....

There are four matches on Sunday and all of the four matches will be "crunch time" games!

Here is why....

Kayseri at home against Trabzonspor.........

They both have 10 points!

Galatasaray will host Istanbul BuyukSehir .....

They both have 9 points!

Manisaspor v Sivasspor...................

Manisa have only 3 points while Sivasspor have 5 points...

Konyaspor v Karabukspor match will also be very important match for Konyaspor to get out the danger zone in the league!

But, Karabukspor who has 9 points would want to win this match to stay on top,also!

With high power scoring machine, Emmanuel Emenike, look for Karbukspor to win this match...


Sunday matches, will probably be the most exciting matches of all of them....

Just look at the line up.....


Second place team Trabzonspor will face fourth place team Kayserispor ,with 10 points in Kayseri!


Fifth place team BuyukSehir, who has 9 points will face seventh place Galatasaray who has same points in Ali Samiyen Stadium !


These two matches and Konyaspor v Karabukspor match, will change out come of the standings on top!

Turkish SPOR TOTO Super League will close on Monday night in Istanbul, with Kasimpasa- Fenerbahce match.

The last place team Kasimpasa, who has only 2 points in the last five matches will face 9th place team Fenerbahce...

Fenerbahce with a win against Kasimpasa could reach to 10 points....

This could well be turning point for Fenerbahce and under-fire coach Aykut Kocaman!

Kasimpasa, is very week but they seem to play better against Fenerbahce all the time..


So, The 6th weekend matches will be hard fought matches......

Starting from Friday night with Bursaspor and ending on Monday night with Fenerbahce

TURKISH SUPER LEAGUE WEEK: 5, REVIEW

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...

This coming Friday, Bursaspor will host Bucaspor at home in the 6th weekend opining match...

If Bursaspor beats Bucaspor at home ,they will still be on top of the Turkish Super League...

FENERBAHCE 1 - 1 BESIKTAS FULL HIGHLIGHTS [GENIS OZET] HD 19 EYLUL 2010



FENERBAHCE AND BESIKTAS SHARE TH POINTS IN KADIKOY, ISTANBUL.....

Guti's late penalty denied Fenerbahce all three points, but it was not enough to give Besiktas a share of first place in the Turkish Super League...



Mamadou Niang opened the scoring after 26 minutes for Fener, a lead which they held for an hour before Guti converted from the spot to earn his side a point.

A win would have taken Besiktas level with Bursaspor at the top of the table but, as it is, the leaders will take a two-point cushion into their game in hand at Gaziantepspor tomorrow.
