The first 25 minutes saw both teams evenly matched, but on 26 minutes, Panamanian defender Michael Amir Murillo unleashed a rocket from outside the box to give the Black Eagles a 1-0 lead. Then, back-to-back goals from Salih Uçan and Hyeongyu Oh made it 3-0 for Beşiktaş before going into half-time break. Substitute Kayra Yılmaz put the game out of Rizespor’s reach on minutes when he rolled the ball into an empty net. Visitors pulled one back through Yannis Papanikolau few minutes later, but it was too little and too late.
