Besiktas defeated Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0
In the central Istanbul derby held in the 9th round of the Turkish Super League, “Istanbul Basaksehir” suffered a 0-2 away defeat to “Besiktas.” One.uz reports.
Although no goals were scored in the first half, the home side managed to secure a valuable three points thanks to goals scored in the final 15 minutes of the match. The match was particularly notable for Uzbek fans: the captain of our national team, Eldor Shomurodov, started in the main lineup, while the talented midfielder Abbasbek Fayzullaev remained on the bench for the entire game.
Match summary: Shomurodov was substituted, and consecutive goals were conceded The fate of the match was directly decided after changes in the lineup. Shomurodov, who played in the starting lineup, put serious pressure on the opposing defenders, but in the 75th minute, due to signs of fatigue, he was replaced by Bertug Ozgur.
Whether by coincidence or due to the impact of the loss, the moment our striker was substituted, the visitors' defense fell apart. Just one minute later, Oh Hyeon Gyu, who came off the bench, put “Besiktas” in the lead.
Just before the end of the match, Junior Olay scored a second precise goal against the opponent, putting a full stop to the derby. As in recent matches, the coaches of “Basaksehir” did not dare to bring Abbasbek Fayzullaev into the game this time either.
Top scorer race and the situation in the league table This match had a serious impact on the ambitions of both teams in the competition. Although our striker failed to score in this round, he has 7 goals to his name and continues to compete among the top scorers in the Super League.
The victorious hosts reached 18 points, firmly establishing themselves in the top four. Shomurodov’s team, trailing with 11 points, dropped to 12th place and is still unable to distance itself from the lower zone.
In the next round on November 1, “Besiktas” will play away against “Kasimpasha,” while “Basaksehir” will host “Samsunspor” at home. Source: One.uz
