After Philip Novak gave the visitors a 1-0 lead with an early goal, Black Eagles had a great chance to level the matters few minutes later, but Michy Batshuayi’s penalty kick hit the post and went wide. Refusing to ease the pressure, the stubborn Beşiktaş won a second penalty on 31 minutes, and this time, Rachid Ghezzal made no mistake and sent Fenerbahçe goalkeeper the wrong way for the equaliser. It was 1-1 at half-time. Despite looking defensive at times, Black Eagles had more scoring opportunities in the second half, but failed to produce that elusive winner.
