Both sides had few opportunities to break the deadlock in the first half and went into the break goalless. Flip Novak put the Trabzonspor a goal up after 53 minutes, but the Japanese star of Beşiktaş Shinji Kagawa answered back for the visitors at the 74th minute mark. However, the stubborn home side managed to regain the lead with Yusuf Yazıcı few minutes later and fended off the desperate Beşiktaş attacks down the stretch to bag all 3 points. After the away loss, the Black Eagles will enter the final week of the Turkish Super League with no chance of catching up the league leaders.
