Playing with a line-up of Taner, Vrazalic, Pribak, Krsmancic, Tolga, Mijo and Ramazan Döne, the Turkish Champions started their home game unusually cold as they trailed the Sporting CP 4:1 at the outset. Nevertheless, thanks to series goals from Captain Ramazan Döne, Beşiktaş Mogaz HT managed to bring the deficit down to 17:16 at the break. However, led by the hot-handed Nikcevic, the Portuguese visitors refused to surrender the lead in the second half and continued to shoot with high efficiency, en route to an impressive opening victory on the road.
