Beşiktaş started their away Super League match as the better side and went on to take a 1-0 advantage through Tammy Abraham’s close-range finish on 13 minutes. When Davidson Sanchez was sent off for a rough tackle in the 34th-minute, Galatasaray had to continue with ten men. The home side desperately searched for an equaliser in the second half and managed to level the scores after 55 minutes, with İlkay Gündoğan. Beşiktaş tried to regain the lead in the remainder of the game but failed to capitalise on their chances.
