It was an evenly balanced game until the 29th-minute when Tyler Boyd fired a stunning shot into the far corner from outside the box to give the Black Eagles a 1-0 lead. The score remained the same at the break. The visitors doubled their advantage after 64 minutes, with a well-taken Bernard Mensah penalty-kick that sent the Trabzonspor keeper the wrong way. Then, a close range chip from substitute Jeremain Lens coming in the 74th-minute made it 3-0 for Beşiktaş and secured all three points. The home side pulled one back through Abdülkadir Ömür in the dying minutes, but it was too little and too late to alter the outcome.
