Besiktas beat Genclerbirligi 3-1 at the Vodafone Park Stadium in the Turkish Cup quarter-final first leg tie on Tuesday.
Black Eagles boss Senol Gunes made a few changes to his usual starting line up resting key players like Fabri, Pepe, Quaresma, Ozyakup, Atiba and Anderson Talisca.
Talisca was however, brought on in the second half and it did not take him long to make an impact.
The 1.91m tall attacking midfielder has been on fire since the end of the winter break.
The Brazilian found the back of the net yet again, capitalising on a goalkeeping error made by Hopf to lob the ball into the back of the net.

Talisca now has five goals in his last three games.
The 23-year-old has directly been involved in 15 goals this season – netting 12 times and providing three assists.
Turkish sports newspaper Fotospor recently reported that Liverpool have rekindled interest in Talisca and have their eye on the midfielder on loan from Benfica.
The Reds have been interested in the powerful midfielder for years.
O Jogo claimed Talisca was close to a move to Liverpool in 2016 but previous attempts by Premier League sides to sign him ended up stalling due to not having a workpermit.
