Eagles come from behind to claim a point in Istanbul derby

Galatasaray 2 – 2 Beşiktaş

The home team started brightly and went ahead after 9 minutes on a header from Melo. They went on to double their lead through Almeida’s own goal just seconds before halftime. However, the Eagles were a different team in the second half as they pulled one back with Holosko on 85 minutes. While Galatasaray were trying to figure out what hit them, Ujfalusi’s own goal helped Beşiktaş run out with a precious point, which may book them a ticket  to Europe next season.
