Before the match started, I had guessed that Fenerbahçe would win the match 3-1 or maybe 2-1. And I also had claimed that Fenerbahçe would be the attacking side and Beşiktaş would play more defensively. Actually Fenerbahçe won the match as I guessed. But the match was much more different than I guessed.

Unlike my prediction, Fenerbahçe was the more defensive side and Beşiktaş was the attacking and controlling side. Beşiktaş took the control of the game in the early minutes and kept it almost until the end of the game. Fenerbahçe tried to find some opportunities to score goals with long-distance shoots and some crosses. And Beşiktaş tried to score goals by passing accurately and playing in front of Fenerbahçe's goal. The first half ended like this. The second half continued like this for a while again. But everything changed in 75th minute. Fenerbahçe won a free kick and Alex De Souza was the one who was going to shot the ball. He shot the ball but Tomas Sivok, Beşiktaş's center-back player who was one of the best players in the match blocked the ball with his hand inside the box. Yes, it was a penalty. Captain Alex De Souza shot the ball and it was a goal. Last 15 minutes Beşiktaş kept the pressure on Fenerbahçe's side. When extra time was being played, Fenerbahçe scored their second goal. Daniel Guiza dribbled with the ball on the right wing and crossed the ball, then Alex scored the goal with a header. Match ended 2-0...

Chance was the most important factor that helped Fenerbahçe to win the match. Then their defence, their center-back players' succesful play and their team defence helped them not to concede a goal. And..their captain: Alex De Souza! Even though he was not effective until the 75th minute, he scored two goals for his team. He always has the quality of changing the score. Beşiktaş was also not so bad. Their team defence was very good and they defended Fenerbahçe players very well by tight-marking. But unfortunate Sivok's mistake made the team lose the match. Beşiktaş will have to find some more opportunities to score goals in the future. They have to attack more effectively and be more creative.

In short, the game was not so fast-paced and a little bit boring. But both teams challenged very well. But the defensive side Fenerbahçe was the luckier team, scored two goals with dead balls and counter attacks. So, they started to the new season with a great trophy. Congratulations...
