On Super League Matchday 12 at Tüpraş Stadium, the two sides tried to find an opening in each other’s defence in the first half but went into the interval goalless. Black and Whites upped the pressure with the start of the second half and saw their efforts come to fruition when Jackson Muleka flipped a perfect pass from Ante Rebic past the visitors keeper Volkan Babacan to put Beşiktaş 1-0 in front after 55 minutes. Başakşehir pushed on for the equaliser in the remainder of the game, but the determined Black Eagles sat back and defended sturdily for that hard-to-come-by three points.
