In a significant clash in the Turkish league, Beşiktaş (6th) faced Fenerbahçe (3rd) at Tüpraş Stadium. The home team quickly took the lead with a left-wing cross from Cerny, which was expertly headed in by El Bilal Touré. The Malian international, on loan from Atalanta until the end of the season, hadn’t scored for Beşiktaş since September 13 against Başakşehir (2-1 win).
Touré then assisted Emirhan Topçu to extend the lead (22′, 2-0). However, the momentum shifted when Orkun Kökcü received a red card for a dangerous tackle on Edson Álvarez (25′). This sparked a comeback from the visitors, who narrowed the gap just minutes later with a goal from İsmail Yüksek (32′, 2-1). Former Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain player Marco Asensio equalized just before halftime (45′ +3, 2-2). In the second half, Fenerbahçe pressed on and secured victory with a goal from Jhon Duran in the dying minutes (83′, 2-3). This remarkable comeback keeps Domenico Tedesco’s team in second place, four points behind Galatasaray, while Beşiktaş remains in sixth, eight points off their rivals.
