With a quarter an hour into the game, the home side Beşiktaş took the lead on a clever finish from Alvaro Negredo, but Roberto Soldado replied for the visitors a couple of minutes later to bring the teams back on level terms. Gaining confidence, Fenerbahçe carried a 2-1 edge into the break thanks to a Şener Özbayraklı goal, despite losing Alper Potuk to red card. After seeing their own Ricardo Quaresma sent off for a rough tackle at the outset of the second half, Beşiktaş pushed for the equaliser but could not find the back of the net. Then, visitors’ goal-keeper Volkan Demirel was sent to early showers in the 77th-minute, and Beşiktaş regained the extra man advantage. Few minutes later, Anderson Talisca equalised for the Eagles and closed the scoring for the night.
