The Black and Whites went ahead after 13 minutes when Atiba Hutchinson played a perfect give-and-go with Vincent Aboubakar before chipping the ball brilliantly over the keeper into the far corner to put Beşiktaş 1-0 in front. Then a 39th-minute penalty from Vincent Aboubakar doubled the visitors lead and closed the scoring for the first half. The determined Black Eagles did not slow down at the outset of the second half as Cyle Larin made it 3-0 for Beşiktaş with a well-timed sliding finish on 48 minutes. However, after Josef de Souza received a red card and left Beşiktaş short-handed, the Eagles began to lose rhythm. Denizlispor took advantage of their extra man and scored two late goals through Muris Mesanovic and Hadi Sacko, but it was all they could muster as Beşiktaş ran out 3-2 winners on the road.
