Just 11 minutes into the game, Beşiktaş drew first blood through a superb header from 19-year-old Güven Yalçın, but the visitors were quick to respond with David Braz’s header only a couple of minutes later. The sides entered the half-time locked in a 1-1 stalemate. At the outset of the second half, Sivasspor took advantage of a Beşiktaş defensive blunder and went ahead with Emre Kılınç. In the remainder of the match, the Eagles desperately searched for the equaliser, only to no avail.
