Solskajer has done well at Besiktas. |
Fenerbahce entered the match against Besiktas in round 34 with the mission of nothing more than winning 3 points. However, Jose Mourinho's team disappointed when they lost right at home.
This result leaves Fenerbahce with almost no chance of competing for the championship with Galatasaray. Mourinho and his students are in 2nd place with 75 points, 8 points behind their arch-rivals. Meanwhile, there are only 4 rounds left in the season. Galatasaray only needs 1 more win and 1 draw to successfully defend the Turkish national championship title.
In case the two teams have the same number of points, Galatasaray will still be ranked higher thanks to a better head-to-head record (3-1 win in the first leg, 0-0 draw in the second leg).
Away from home, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players only had 39% possession and had exactly 2 shots on target. On the other hand, Fenerbahce had 19 chances but failed to put the ball in the visitors' net once. Gedson Fernandes' only goal in the 44th minute helped Besiktas win all 3 points right at the "fire pit" Sukru Saracoglu.
On the day Fenerbahce's dream of winning the championship was almost shattered, Besiktas made an important step forward in the race for a ticket to the European Cup next season with 2 consecutive victories.
Currently, coach Solskjaer and his students are in 4th place with 55 points, only 2 points behind the 3rd place team, Samsunspor. If they play enough matches and win, Besiktas will rise to 3rd place, meaning a place in the 2025/26 Europa League qualifying round.
