After the match, Beşiktaş Manager Mustafa Denizli saluted his side’s dogged performance:

“With this win, we’ve managed to keep our winning streak going. Right now, we may not be playing as well as we’d like to, but we are really fighting out there. Tonight, we probably picked up the most valuable 3 points of the season’s first half. It will help us edge closer to the top of the table. Considering our Champions League match on Wednesday, it’s been a tiring week for us, so we are extremely pleased with this result.”
