Besiktas were held to a 2-2 draw against Championship outfit Reading in a pre-season friendly in Graz, Austria.
The Black Eagles took a two-goal lead thanks to Ryan Babel and Oguzhan Ozyakup.
Babel converted from a dangerous cross to put Besiktas ahead on the hour mark and was soon followed by a goal from the Turkish international on 75 minutes.

The buildup to the Ozyakup goal early in the second-half was pretty impressive.
The Super Lig outfit were in cruise control until Sam Smith pulled one back on 80 minutes.
Marc McNulty then went onto score a last-gasp equaliser.
