Black Eagles started sluggish and fell behind after 21 minutes, through a close-range goal from Riiad Bajic. The goal seemed to awaken Beşiktaş, as they were level 15 minutes later when Vincent Aboubakar converted his penalty-kick. Then the Cameroon international rifled another shot from the left side of the box to give the home side a 2-1 lead for the first half. Nathan Redmond added an insurance goal at the outset of the second half to secure all three points for Beşiktaş.
