Beşiktaş’s new boss Tayfur Havutçu weighed in on his team’s performance after the match.

“I am extremely pleased that we brought some smiles to fans’ faces on our Club’s 108th Anniversary. We fell behind in the first half but raised our tempo in the second and managed to fight our way out of it. I thank all my players for the hard work they put in tonight. I believe we were the better side and deserved to win. I hope we can keep it coming.
I found Almedia a little stressed before the game. I told him to relax and concentrate on his own game. He listened to my advice and scored two great goals, which showed everyone what he is made of.”
