On Day 22 of the Spor Toto Turkish Super League, Beşiktaş and Kardemir Karabükspor played to a one-all draw at the Fiyapı İnonu Stadium.

The afternoon match, refereed by Mustafa Kamil Abitoğlu, got underway at 4:00 pm. With their suspended Manager Bernd Schuster in stands, the Eagles were coached by Assistant Manager Tayfur Havutçu. In a show of brotherhood, the teams greeted the fans hand-in-hand before the kick-off.
Playing in their white jerseys, Beşiktaş applied early pressure by pelting the visitors’ goal with a barrage of shots, after a series of attacks engineered mostly from the right flank.  Deep into the half, Karabükspor managed to balance the play and started to threaten with the league’s leading scorer Emenike. With the visitors pushing forward more, the match turned into a nice back-and-forth to the delight of the spectators. The only thing that was missing in the first 45 minutes was a goal as the teams carried a goalless draw into the dressing room at the intermission.
The visitors gained the upper hand at the outset of the second half and took the lead when Emenike successfully finished off a through ball on 55 minutes. The goal seemed to wake the Eagles up as they began to dictate the pace of the game for the next few minutes before finally knotting the contest at 1-1 in the 59th minute when Karabükspor’s Deumi scored an own goal. Beşiktaş took complete control when Quaresma, who was suffering from flu, replaced Fernandes with half an hour to go in full time. The Black and White pressed hard for the winner during the remainder of the match and came close to getting one at the 76th-minute mark, but Almedia’s close-range effort, which appeared to cross the goal-line after hitting the bar in slow motion, was not given by the referee for an unknown reason. Karabükspor managed to hang on in the remaining minutes and earned a point with a 1-1 draw.
