The Eagles took the game to the visitors right after the kick-off but were unable to find an opening in their visitors’ defence in the first 45 minutes. Beşiktaş upped the pressure with start of the second half, and a 52nd-minute header from Pepe fired them 1-0 ahead. Then Ryan Babel came off the bench and put the match away with a close-range finish. Guilherme’s goal on 88 minutes would not save the Malatyaspor as the Eagles went on to bag the 3 points.
