The Black Eagles started their must-win away game at Bursaspor extremely spirited but, despite a couple of close calls, failed to score in the first half. They upped the pressure in the second half and pulled ahead on 65 minutes, when sub Cenk Tosun beat Bursaspor keeper from close range with a nifty move. The Super League leaders Beşiktaş found another goal with Vincent Aboubakar in the closing stages to secure those precious three points and retain the two-point advantage they hold over the second-place Başakşehir.
