The Black Eagles were too strong for Eyüpspor at home, with Václav Cerný scoring the only goal of the match in the 25th minute. Cerný was assisted by Junior Olaitan, who provided a beautiful through-ball. The former Ajax and FC Twente player came close to scoring again in the second half, but his shot hit the post.
Eyüpspor's chances of scoring were further reduced when midfielder David Costa was sent off with a second yellow card. With ten men against eleven, Eyüpspor were unable to mount a comeback against Besiktas. The win sets Besiktas up for their next match in the Europa League-play-offs against Kauno Zalgiris on Thursday in Istanbul.
