For reducing the gap with Super League leaders Başakşehir, who unexpectedly dropped two points at home yesterday, it was a must-win away match for Beşiktaş. They took the lead with Damogoj Vida’s close-range finish midway point of the first half, but Foussene Diabete answered back for the home side on 45 minutes. The Black Eagles went all out after the winner in the second half and they would get their reward at the 87th-minute mark when Burak Yılmaz buried home a free-kick from way outside the box. The victory cut the point difference to 6 points with 5 matches to go.
