Black Eagles came close to breaking the deadlock with a couple of early chances but had to wait until the 41st minute for the lead when Vincent Aboubakar hit the target with a brilliant effort from inside the box. Beşiktaş went after an insurance goal in the second half yet could not beat the visitors Gaziantepspor’s keeper Gökhan Değirmenci, who made a string of excellent saves, which included Oğuzhan Özyakup’s penalty-kick, and kept them at bay. Nevertheless, the Black Eagles were more than happy to walk off with three points.
