Eagles kick off second half of season with a home win

Second half goals from Sivok and Pektemek help Beşiktaş past Eskişehirspor 2-0

The Eagles put the visitors under pressure right from the start, but despite a flurry of late chances, failed to hit the target in the first half as the teams went back to the their dressing rooms locked in a goalless draw.
 
Beşiktaş pushed even harder in the second half and finally got their break when defender Sivok beat Eskişehirspor keeper Ivesa with a well-placed header off a Fernandes’ corner-kick on 57 minutes. In search of an equaliser, the visitors began to come out more, but Beşiktaş’s top-scoring sub Mustafa Pektemek wrecked their hopes with a last-minute goal.
