The home side Beşiktaş pinned Rizespor into their own half after the kick-off, but ironically it was the visitors who went in with the lead at the half-time, courtesy of an Oğulcan Çağlayan goal. Nevertheless, a well-placed header from the defender Domagoj Vida levelled the scores for Beşiktaş at the start of the second half, and the Eagles were back in the game. However, despite their relentless pressure, they failed to net the winner in the remainder of the game.
