Needing points to close the gap with the league leaders, the Black Eagles started attacking but saw themselves trailing 1-0 after 32 minutes, thanks to an own-goal from Dorukhan Toköz. Then, Sosa, who already had an assist in the first goal, made it 2-0 for the home side with a low effort from outside the box and closed the scoring for the first half. After the restart, Beşiktaş threw everything forward to get back into the game, only to see Trabzonspor striker Sorloth drill from inside the 6-yard line in the 65th-minute to put the match away for the visitors. Ten minutes from time, substitute Güven Yalçın cut the deficit to two with a well-placed finish from the penalty area, but Nwakaeme replied quickly following a fast Trabzonspor break-away to secure the all 3 points.
