Basaksehir 2 – 1  Besiktas

Besiktas came from behind to pick up all free points in a tough encounter at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium.

Epureanu scored the opener for the home side in the 42. minute against a poor Besiktas. Manager Slaven Bilic’s team-talk clearly made a difference as the Black Eagles looked like a different side in the second half.

Demba Ba scored the equaliser with a powerful shot in the 63. minute while Frei capped off a good move to score the winner in the 75. minute.

However, Besiktas made things hard for themselves a minute later with Pedro Franco seeing red for a second bookable offence.

The home side were unable to capitalise and the game ended 2-1 to the visitors.
