After the match, Beşiktaş Manager Bernhard Schuster talked to the press:

\"Coming into this game, we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game. Trabzonspor is always a formidable side to play against on their home turf. Taking our last Thursday’s away Europa League match into account, I must admit we had a tough week. My players looked a bit tired out there and had trouble getting organised. Nevertheless, we had our chances at both halves but could not finish them off. From my point of view, both teams played evenly and deserved a point. After falling a goal behind, we kept pressing for the equaliser and asserted our authority, but this time we came up empty handed.  This result is not going to divert us from our objectives. Our fans should not get demoralised; we’ll make up for this loss in the weeks to come.\"
