Beşiktaş had the majority of the possessions in the first half and created more chances but could not find that final touch to break the goalless deadlock. The game developed into an end-to-end affair in the second half, and the home side gained a man advantage after Kassoum Ouattara was shown a red car on 72 minutes. However, the determined Black Eagles refused to give up. Then, with 10 minutes remaining, a close-range header from substitute Semih Kılıçsoy secured the visitors Beşiktaş a 1-0 win in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.
