Beşiktaş 1-0 Çaykur Rizespor

With the starting line-up of Tolga; Serdar,Sivok,Escude,Ersan; Atiba,Fernandes,Muhammed; Gökhan Töre,Almeida, Olcay, the Eagles enjoyed the lion’s share of possession in the first half, yet despite hitting the cross-bar through Olcay’s effort, struggled to find the net. As a result, they were held to a 0-0 draw at the break. Beşiktaş, playing one of their final pre-season games, took complete control in the second 45 minutes but had to wait until substitute Pedro Franco’s 90th-minute header to finally overcome the stubborn visitors.
