predicted line-up per sabah http://www.sabah.com.tr/SabahSpor/Futbol/2013/04/08/bursaspor-besiktas BURSASPOR-BEŞİKTAŞ STAT: Bursa Atatürk HAKEM: Halis Özkahya SAAT: 20.00 BURSASPOR: Carson, Şener, Ferdinand, İbrahim, Vederson, Tuncay, Belluschi, Batalla, Edu, Ferhat, Pinto TEKNİK DİREKTÖR: Hikmet Karaman BEŞİKTAŞ: McGregor, Hilbert, İbrahim Toraman, Escude, Gökhan, Oğuzhan, Veli, Mehmet Akgün, Fernandes, Olcay, Mustafa TEKNİK DİREKTÖR: Samet Aybaba
Mo with a interception and diagonal pass to start an attack, Tuncay pulls his first time shot just wide after some nice buildup. Bursa looking very good so far.
Edu with another huge breakup and 1 pass later Pinto's shot is about 6 inches away from going inside of the far post. A minute later Edu has possession at the top of Besiktas' box but can't make the incisive pass to Pinto. His pass is intercepted, he tracks back to win possession back. He's been box to box so far.
15' 1-0 Bursaspor on a very nice finish by Pinto. Mo not involved but he's been influential thus far breaking up Besiktas attacks and retaining possession for Bursa. Good goal and well deserved.
Really impressed by the Turkish commentators pronouncing "Batalla" with the correct "sh" sound, by the way.
Mo looks so much more comfortable and confident for Bursaspor than he does on the USMNT. He has been spraying some good long switch passes.
edu started very very well..... this is the us pro athletism should be. after injury, he gets back fit and best shape. edu plays very very good in both end. his cut the pass lines,he won the air balls, he open up the games by long side plays, he moes upfront offense , he run back defens, his aerial movements very good , short pass and focus the game very nice, he also started two counters,one of them perfect goal chance that tuncay or pinto wasted. over all amazing game... bursaspor nonstop attack. besiktas looks to build up,but bursa do very well pressure. game commentator say good things about edu by the way. cmon edu keep going boy!
Wow, Edu with a great first time volley from about 15 yards destined for the back of the net but its blocked at the 6 yard box. Good strike on a very difficult skill. 25th minute.
Edu is facing a really tough test in defending Portuguese international Fernandes right now, and he's winning the battle. As has been said earlier, its pretty incredible how much more comfortable he looks with the ball at his feet here than with the USMNT.
35' More great play by Edu. He wins the ball near midfield after a nice challenge, plays a give and go and streaks down the right side playing into Batalla who is muscled off the ball in the box. Light appeals for a penalty but nothing was there.
Mo with a good ball into the box. Bursaspor attacker gets run over could have been a penalty but a good no-call?
37' Goal Batalla! 2-0 Bursaspor after a fortuitous bounce falls into the path of Pinto, he plays a nice ball across to Batalla who slots it home.
