Burak Yılmaz opened the scoring for the visitors with a close-range finish just 10 minutes into the match. The home side managed to level through Oscar Estupinan in the 53rd minute, but back-to-back goals from Gökhan Gönül, Kevin Nkoudou, Adem Ljajic and Abdoulaye Diaby within a span of 20 minutes broke the game wide open and brought deservedly all three points to Beşiktaş.
