Beşiktaş started the game at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in an attacking fashion and pinned the visitors from Konya City into their own half. The Eagles’s pressure came to fruition after 30 minutes when Cenk Tosun smashed the ball into the top corner of the net from inside the 6-yard box. But the things turned into Konya's favour after Beşiktaş’ Marcelo was shown a red card on 65 minutes. Bajic levelled the matters from a free-kick, and Volkan followed him with a late goal to give the visitors a valuable advantage for the second leg.
