The Black Eagles defeated Kasımpaşa 2-1 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium tonight and maintained their hopes for a second-place finish, which ensures a free ticket to the C.L. groups stage next season. The spirited Black Eagles’ goals came at the start of the game from Oğuzhan Özyakup (7’) and Veli Kavlak (17’). Oscar Scarione pulled one back for the visitors in stoppage-time, but it would not change the outcome. With 2 matches to go in the Turkish Super League, Beşiktaş are only one point behind Galatasaray.
