With several close calls for both sides, it was an end-to-end game in the first half, but neither team were able to outwit each other to score. Needing the three points desperately for the Super League leadership, the Black Eagles pushed all out in the second half, and their pressure came to fruition in the 76th minute when Super League’s top scorer Mario Gomez found the target with a splendid header. His 19th goal of the season was the highest in one season by a foreign player in Beşiktaş’ 113 year of history. Ten minutes later, the sub Olcay Şahan slammed another one into the net to help Beşiktaş climb back to the top of the table.
