A couple of early goals by Souleymane Doukara sent the visitors Antalyaspor 2-0 up, but Beşiktaş recovered quickly as Alvaro Negredo found the net with a clever header on 26 minutes. However, Yekta Kurtuluş would push the margın back to two from inside the 6-yard line before the half-time whistle.
Beşiktaş tightened up on defence in the second half, and after heading home Quaresma’s well-placed cross at the 56th minute mark, their defender Pepe brought the deficit down to one again . The Eagles desperately searched for the equaliser in the remaining minutes, but despite several chances, came up empty-hand in the end. It was Beşiktaş’ first Super League loss at the Vodafone Park after 45 matches.
