After fending off the visitors’ early attacks, Beşiktaş balanced the game with long passes thrown behind Fenerbahçe defence, but despite a couple of close calls, failed to get on the scoresheet in the first half. Teams went back to the dressing room tied 0-0 at half-time. Motivated by non-stop cheering of the local crowd who packed the Vodafone Park one more time, Black Eagles looked more attacking in the second half, but after seeing Wout Weghorst’s late headers miss the target by inches,they had to settle for a scoreless draw.
