Undeterred from having lost several players to coronavirus, the Black Eagles made a better start and applied early pressure to break the deadlock. But their breakthrough came in the dying minutes of first half when the Canadian duo Atiba Hutchinson and Cyle Larin combined efforts with back-to-back goals that gave Beşiktaş a 2-0 lead going into the break. Then Vincent Aboubakar put the game away for the hosts through a 72nd-minute penalty. Late Başakşehir goals from Fredrik Gulbrandsen set up a dramatic finish but would not change the outcome.
