Beşiktaş JK’s road to Turkish Super League title

The determined and resilient  Black Eagles, who did not have a regular home ground during most of the season due to the construction of their new stadium Vodafone Arena, achieved the impossible in the end by winning the 2015/16 Super League title, against all odds and with a game at hand. It was their 14th League Championship and first in seven seasons. Powered by a prolific up-front and midfield, they led the League in scoring while their defence looked solid throughout the season. Following a thrilling title-race with Fenerbahçe,which saw first place change hands several times, Beşiktaş entered the final two matches of the Super League campaign 6 points ahead of their arch-rivals. And then Şenol Güneş’ men did not repeat the slip-ups of the previous seasons and went on to clinch the national Championship title after a well-deserved 3-1 victory over the visitors Osmanlıspor.
