Three horse-race for the title !

Last weekend (24th week ) ,  it was bad for Fenerbahce and Galatasaray while It was good weekend for Besiktas !

While Galatasaray draw with Basaksehir at home Fenerbahce went down in Ankara ,against Genclerbirligi.....

On the other hand Besiktas, beat Erciyes with  5-1 score in Ankara .....

Well, since then things are not going well for Besiktas and Besiktas coach Bilic !

First, on Thursday in front of their fans, after going ahead against Brugge team in the Europa Cup match, they choked  and  elimenated  from Europa Cup !

On Sunday, in the league match against Fenerbahce they went down in the very last minutes of injury time .....


Besiktas had many chances to score but they could not !


Fenerbahce forward Sow scored the only goal in the match.....



In the 19th minute,  Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike missed a one-on-one chance, failing to take advantage of a defensive mistake by Besiktas player Necip Uysal.


Emenike was heavily protested by Fenerbahce  fans after missing the chance. He wanted to be replaced but he stayed on the pitch until half time.

It was a scene that I never seen  before !


While Fenerbahce players Raul Meireles  and Dirk Kuy went out with injuries , Besiktas lost keeper Tolga Zengin and  Tolgay Arslan too .....

Besiktas's third string keeper Gunay Guvenc had to coming in to the match since second string keeper Cenk Gonen was hurt too ....

Besiktas while attacking in the very last minutes of injury time, caught with their pants down on the defense and Sow cashed in !

It has not been a good week for Besiktas , this week ......

Only thing left for Bilic and Besiktas is the STSL league title !

The last nine weeks won't be easy for Besiktas ....

They need to refresh as a team and start playing as a team.....

On the other hand, Fenerbahce with this win ,put them selfs on the title chase again !

But, there are a lot of issues with Fenerbahce team !

Issues with players like Emre ......

And coach Ismail Kartal .....

After what I saw in this match, I don't think, Ismail Kartal has any control over this team !

He lost his credibility  from sideline as a coach .....

On  Saturday, Galatasaray comeback from behind and beat Kasimpasa in their stadium.

Things, did not looked good at all for Galatasaray in the first half of the match ....

Kasimpasa closed theh first half with 2-0 score .....


However, in the second half, Galatasaray was diffrent team !

They score three unanswered goal and they won the match 3-2 .......

They were eather lucky or  Kasimpasa did not know how to protect the 2-0 score !


So, this weekends results were good to Galatasaray and Fenerbahce ...

It was not good for Besiktas !

With this loss, Besiktas coach has not win anyy derby match in Istanbul ....

That might be trouble for Bilic !

At the end of the 25th week in the Turkish Super League, Galatasaray on top with 55 , Besiktas on second with 54 and Fenerbahce on third place with 53 points.

This race is three horse race, once again !

Because of the National Team matches there won't be any matches this coming weekend in the league ..

Turkish National team will play very important match  against Holland on Saturday !


It is do or die match for Turkey and Fatih Terim's boys........
