With a number of early chances, the visiting Black and Whites appeared to be getting their name on the scoresheet first, but an unmarked Umut Bulut tucked the ball in from inside the Beşiktaş 6-yard box to fire the home side Kayserispor a goal up with 31 minutes gone. The unfazed Eagles recovered from the shock quickly as Cenk Tosun levelled the matters from a penalty-kick just before the half-time.
After Tiago Lopes received his second yellow card in the 49th-minute and left the hosts a man short, Beşiktaş took the game to Kayserispor’s own half and started searching for the winner with relentless attacks. The determined visitors sent almost everyone forward in the closing minutes, but the home team defended well to escape with a point.
