Beşiktaş 2 - 6 sahinli (388998088)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 5878 at Beşiktaş 1903 JK Arena today. Jamir Cajado was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Klaas Wedlich and Kim Skov-Jensen. Beşiktaş started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Alayontlu - Uça, Ferzan, Borda, Fezahan - Akmut, Civan, Erdoğdu, Karık - Keder, Akşın.

sahinli decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Başbağ - Payboğa, Ronak, Kadam - Yılmaz, Özdal, Efsun, Fuçin, Sümbülzade - Dink, Ayşin.

A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by Z. Sümbülzade. At last, sahinli's M. Özdal was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 1. N. Dink came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over C. Alayontlu but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. With 21 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed B. Efsun of sahinli to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. There was concern in the stands when, at the 25 minute mark, Beşiktaş's Y. Akşın hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. After 26 minutes, sahinli's N. Dink burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper B. Başbağ and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for Beşiktaş, but Z. Keder's finish was way too lame. A marvellous Beşiktaş effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 31 minutes by M. Borda, making the score 1 - 3. After 37 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by sahinli on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by A. Ayşin to make it 1 - 4. It was 1 - 4 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by sahinli, with 54 percent of the ball.

A quick free kick deep in the opponent's half found A. Uça, who produced a brilliant first touch to send it flying beyond the keeper into the net. This reduced the away team's lead to 2 - 4. S. Fezahan did everything he could to get one back for his Beşiktaş, but keeper B. Başbağ denied him with a spectacular block. With 58 minutes played, sahinli put themselves up 2 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was B. Efsun. With 65 minutes played, S. Fezahan of Beşiktaş fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 65 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Ayşin who increased sahinli's lead to 2 - 6. Beşiktaş had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Most important Beşiktaş player was T. Karık. C. Alayontlu on the other hand, had a terrible day. N. Dink performed admirably for sahinli. However, S. Ronak made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 6.
