Talisca beat the Genclerbirligi wall with a fantastic effort to score his 10th goal in all competitions.
The 23-year-old has now directly contributed to 15 goals in all competitions – 10 goals, five assists.
Turkish-Football recently reported that Manchester United have been scouting Talisca throughout the season.
Talisca has a £21 million release clause set by his parent club Benfica.
Benfica have loaned Talisca to Besiktas on a two-year deal but he is available on a permanent transfer if his release clause fee is activated.
Besiktas are currently first in the Turkish league and take on Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals.
The Black Eagles could end up taking on Manchester United in the semi-finals or final if they both reach the later stages.
