After showing quite an impressive performance at the beginning of the season, Besiktas is now slowly starting to close their chances of winning the championship, the defeat against Galatasaray in the previous match I think will be a motivation for them to rise today when they face Kasimpasa, but what really surprised me precisely their humiliated with a score of 3-1 at home, in football match, of course the home and away factor is not more important than the mentality and fighting spirit to win the match, their defeat from kasimpasa actually showing if the mentality from Besiktas to rise at this time is very small, I think with a difference of 8 points to Galatasaray as the leader of the table, of course the opportunity for winning the championship has been very difficult for their now, but still they must rise immediately in the next match to at least fight for a place in the Europa League or UCL next season.
Beşiktaş always plays for the championship. They don't play for second place. Those who thought the championship race was over as early as the 10th week will realize in May how wrong they were.
The team didn't prepare well for the match. They seemed very affected by the chaos after Monday. They also have a Europa League match on Thursday, but they shouldn't have downplayed this league match. We thought the game was unlocked when we went into half time with a 1-0 lead, but Kasımpaşa scored extraordinary goals. Losing midfield control also meant losing the game's control. When the forward players don't contribute goals, these results are not surprising. Now we urgently need to recover and get a series of wins.
The score of 3-1 was really surprising, and I didn't expect the match to end in a defeat for Besiktas. They took the lead in the first half with one goal in extra time. I didn't expect in the second half Besiktas to have to submit to Kasimpasa with three goals without reply in the second half. There were at least 20 violations committed by Kasimpasa in the match with 4 yellow cards and one winning card. which shows how hard Kasimpasa is to maintain the advantage they have and break every attack launched by Besiktas.
Losing points in two consecutive matches, of course this is a big blow for Besiktas to immediately rise and catch up. And in the next match Besiktas will face Istanbul BB, which is a good opportunity for Besiktas to be able to win points again, because in the upcoming match against Istanbul BB, in this match Besiktas is the favorite to win.
