Despite early Fenerbahçe attacks, the Black Eagles went ahead after 4 minutes when Vincent Aboubakar fired an unstoppable bullet into the top-left corner of the net. The Cameroonian international doubled the visitors’ lead with a well-placed header coming in the 20th-minute. The home side pulled one back through Papiss Cisse’s close-range finish 15 minutes later, and it was 2-1 for Beşiktaş at half-time. After Cyle Larin was sent off at the out-set the second half, Fenerbahçe gained a man advantage, but a 53rd-minute header from Necip Uysal restored the visitors’ two-goal lead with 53 minutes gone on the clock. Ozan Tufan reduced the deficit back to one late in the game, but the high-flying Eagles would not let this game slip away from them as Fabrice N'Sakala powered home a perfect Nkoudoui cross in the dying minutes to secure the all three points. A late Fenerbahçe penalty goal from Ozan Tufan made it close score but did not change home team's destiny.
