With 23 minutes into the game, the home side Kayserispor took the lead on a penalty-kick from Mame Thiam and managed to hold onto it until the end of first half. Through a splendid diving header, young Beşiktaş defender Serdar Saatçi leveled the scores at the outset of the second half before substitute Georges-Kévin Nkoudou netted twice to secure the three points for Beşiktaş. Miguel Cardoso pulled one back for Kayserispor in stoppage time, but it was too little and too late to change the outcome. Thanks to the away victory, Black and Whites kept their European hopes alive.
