In the first-leg of their Turkish Cup tie at Vodafone Park, the Eagles raced to 1-0 lead after 14 minutes when Vrsajevic scored an own goal off Alvaro Negredo's cross. Then, the same Negredo fired Beşiktaş two up with a brilliant 36th-minute effort. At outset of the second half, Cenk Tosun made it 3-0 for the home side, but Doukara pulled one back in the 72nd-minute to raise the visitor’s hopes. Nevertheless, an injury-time goal from Ricardo Quaresma put the game out of their reach as the Eagles took a three-goal advantage into the second-leg at Ankara.
