Beşiktaş Manager Bernd Schuster weighed in on his team’s performance after the match:

“Three key mistakes brought about this result: first Almedia’s wasted chance, second, penalty position and third, the red card. We had the game under our control, but the red card turned the game in their favor.   
After our Europa Cup loss to Dynamo Kiev, I think, with this defeat, we put ourselves in a difficult situation in the League as well. But our Turkish Cup hopes are still alive, and from now on, we are going to concentrate on it more than ever. We will take some serious measures in coming days to end our slide.”
