Last minute | What did the sportswriters say after the 1-2 match between Demir Grup Sivasspor and Galatasaray? GS News

UĞUR MELEKE

At Sivas, all conditions were right for the first hour so that the experienced, high-quality but low-energy dose of Galatasaray that started yesterday in the first 11 could be comfortable. Arda, Feghouli, Belhanda, Emre and Babel were constantly changing places, they passed by very easily, there was a fellow defense that did not come into close contact with them in that department. The 11 of yesterday of the Galatasaray, a quality 11 …

But due to low energy levels or continuity issues in the match, this is an 11 that you will normally use to end the match, not to start. Honestly, when I looked at the list of names, I thought Terim had made a risky team, and if he faced a tough Sivasspor in the first half, he might have to change 2-3 at halftime. I was very wrong. The Galatasaray team was like an evening ride on Sivas for 60-65 minutes yesterday. They captured very comfortable rust series, upshifted when they wanted and down when they wanted. I think we can explain this one-sided watch for a few reasons:

ATSAM ATAMAM SATSAM SATAMAM

Sivas surrendered to the game that Galatasaray wanted at the start of the match. Galatasaray, who was left in the rival area with rust on his feet, patiently moved the game to the rival area and awaiting the error of Sivas, he scored a beautiful goal with Belhanda in the 19th minute with the assistance of Feghouli. Belhanda and Feghouli, for Terim, are two men of nature ‘I can’t pitch, I can’t sell if I pitch’. 5 minutes later, as Emre Kılınç scored the ball on a pass from Babel, Samassa saved Feghouli’s shot at 35 and gave Galatasaray a second chance. I keep writing that Marcao and Luyindama are not the plugs of Galatasaray. He was knocked down by Kayode Marcao, who leaked into the throw-in between these two, always open to error, pregnant with risks of injury, forced under pressure, and the penalty Fajr signed one of the fateful moments of the match for Sivas by aiming for pole. At the start of the second half, Arda scored a goal for Galatasaray after 9 years with the delicious assistance of Belhanda.

OKAN RULED IN THE CASTLE

Turkey’s second-rate leagues in Europe and Africa were the market for second-rate players. There are 4 players on Sivas who are eligible for these qualifications. He has solved football and the Galatasaray footballer, he knows how to go from fixed game to scoreboard, and he has old but talented players who will take advantage of his good days. And self-confident, the soccer-savvy team managed to win the match, although it was difficult in the last stretch. While Okan saved Gradel’s all-time goal, Galatasaray’s defense was alarming. At 76, Caner scored the goal that reduced the difference to 1, and then goalkeeper Okan appeared on stage. Okan made a mistake in the goal, but it was the name that turned the game around with the saves by Yasin and Kone. Referee Abdülkadir Bitigen, who won a match in 2 weeks last year, was in a terrible day yesterday with his decisions and body language, with his psychological upheaval and resentment at being forgotten. Fatih Terim took what he should have taken from Sivas with an intelligent account and took a place at the top.

Fenerbahçe, the most important competitor, lost points. Beşiktaş is the same. Even Trabzonspor. Sivas absent is always difficult and Galatasaray won a match in which they played the 70 minutes very well. At the end of the first 45 minutes, we saw one of the best games played by Galatasaray this season. Meanwhile, with the association of Emre Kılınç, Feghouli and Belhanda, Galatasaray also came forward. All control was in the yellow-red team. Until the mistake made at the end of the circuit.

Sivas, who wore the crown very quickly, caught the unbalanced Galatasaray defense and won the penalty. But when he missed the penalty, Galatasaray was back on his morale. They found the second goal with Arda Turan and were relieved, but until Sivasspor’s first goal came. Goalkeeper Okan played perfectly except for the goal he ate during the match. Perhaps with bad luck, he ate the goal between his legs. After this moment, painful and worrying moments began for Galatasaray. Especially there is a position that Sivasspor failed, which was the opportunity for Galatasaray and Okan. Fatih Terim was changing players on the player and trying to keep the match. A goal that could be beaten would cause a big prestige problem, both the loss of points and the 2-0 draw. But it was not like that. Galatasaray resisted and got 3 vital points and left the field happy.

VAR decisions are rare. Sivas won a penalty, but the position is gray. In addition, another penalty was awarded immediately after the missed foul. But neither Bitigen nor the VAR referee dared to give or give this penalty. As a result, I found Bitigen far from previous performances, although he did not make a serious mistake.
