Şismanoğlu's header puts Eagles back on tract

Eskişehirspor 0-1 Beşiktaş

Both sides tested each other with long-range shots during the first 45 minutes but failed to break the deadlock. However, the second half was a different story. Determined to snap their two-game losing skid, Beşiktaş began to dominate possessions and set the pace. And on 70 minutes, substitute centre-forward Ömer Şişmanoğlu, who was making his first appearance for the Eagles this season, found himself unmarked in front of the Eskişehir goal to head in a well-timed cross from Fernandes. The home side desperately pushed for an equaliser in the remaining minutes with no avail as the Eagles came away with all three points.
