Black Eagles lift the Royal Cup

Beşiktaş 4-3 River Plate

In the final of 2015 Alanya International Royal Cup, Beşiktaş drew first blood through midfielder Sosa on 20 minutes, but with back-to-back goals from Martinez and Gomez, the young Argentinian team struck back few minutes later to take a 2-1 lead which would stand until the interval.

An own goal by Molina 4 minutes into the second half levelled the scores once again and turned the game’s momentum in Beşiktaş’ favor. Then, the Senegalese striker Demba Ba made the things worse for the River Plate as he found the net twice and put Black Eagles in front 4-2. Romero pulled one back for the Argentinians in the 81th minute, but it was not enough to take the Cup away from Beşiktaş.
