The black and whites started out slow and saw the visitors take the lead in the 24th minute with a header from Moussa Saw. The early goal seemed to wake Beşiktaş up as they began to push forward more. Their pressure would pay off on 40 minutes when Kuyt evened up the score with an own-goal. The teams were level at half-time, 1-1.
 
With 15 minutes into the second half, former Fenerbahçe striker Niang added another for the Eagles but, it took only 3 minutes for Sow to knot the scores once again. From there onwards, it was an end-to-end game with both sides having plenty of chances. However, this time the pendulum would swing in Beşiktaş’s favour as Olcay finished off a breakaway in the dying seconds of stoppage time to put Eagles in front for good. After the win, Beşiktaş moved up into the second place in the league table, with 10 matches to play.
