Turkish Super League Wrap :Gap drops to 4 points on top !

Week 20, in the Turkish Super Lig, was a clutch week for some teams in the league !

Teams, who were chasing the top team Fenerbahce,  in the league....

Besiktas  won their match  on Friday in Gaziantep with 2-1 score with a little luck this time..

Besiktas still having problem in the last twenty minutes !

While Besiktas and Galatasaray won in the 20th week, first place Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor lost their matches on Sunday ....

On Saturday, Galatasaray  beat  Eskisehir with a score 3-0 , without their world star player Drogba.

A win for Galatasaray, put pressure on Ersun Yanal's Fenerbahce before the Sivas vs Fenerbahce match in Sivas on Sunday!


With Galatasaray winning on Saturday, the gap on top, reduced to 4 points before Sunday's match..

On Sunday, In Sivas , Sivas stunned Fenerbahce with 2-0 score !

It very important to note that the referee Yunus Yildirim made some huge bad calls for both teams...

He did not call  a hand ball in the penalty box area for Fenerbahce....

On another play, He should have giving red card to Raul Meireles for intentional kicking instead he showed him yellow card !

Fenerbahce played the most of the match with 10 men after defender Egemen Korkmaz was red carded by Yunus Yildirim....

Former Fenerbahce player, now rookie coach at Sivasspor , Roberto Carlos won his first match against his former team as a coach!

Best teams of the first half of the season, Fenerbahce, has been slipping lately,,,,,

This is their back to back third away match losses !

10 points gap between Galatasaray has drop to  four points now......

15 weeks to go , the race will be very tight, between Fenerbahce ,Galatasaray and Besiktas, now !

After  the match, Fenerbahce coach Ersun Yanal said, they will win the championship at the end of the season even the gap narrowed !


On the other hand ,Roberto Mancini's Galatasaray playing at home and abroad....

At home, they are in Turkish Cup along with chasing Fenerbahce on top !

At abroad, in the Champions League they made it to round 16 under Mancini and they will face Chelsea ,soon in Istanbul first then in England in March...

Very busy time starts for Galatasaray.....

Could they handle all of this?

During the winter transfer window they have transferred some young legs....

Players like, Drogba, Sneijder, Muslera and Selcuk Inan will be Galatasaray go to guys  at home and abroad.

Galatasaray scored 15 goals in their last four matches while  keeper Muslera ,shut Galatasaray's goal !


While that is what's happening on top, at the bottom,two Kayseri teams; Kayserispor and Kayseri Erciyes is losing blood !

They are dead last two teams at the bottom....
