The visiting Super League leaders jumped ahead after just 4 minutes when the League’s top-scorer Cenk Tosun slammed home a one-time shot from inside the box. Trabzonspor levelled through Okay Yokuşlu on 25 minutes, and the teams took the 1-1 draw into the interval. Beşiktaş regained the lead with Vincent Aboubakar at the outset of the second half, but back-to-back goals from Fabián Castillo and Hugo Rodallega fired the home side in front after 65 minutes. The resilient Black Eagles refused to give up and responded with late goals by Anderson Talisca and Atiba Hutchinson to steal the three points and the show in Trabzon City.
