Beşiktaş deserved the win

Beşiktaş supporters had grown uneasy as soon as the referee was appointed, the article says, recalling decisions they believed had unfairly gone against the club in the past.

Both teams started well, but Beşiktaş created more chances. Fenerbahçe nevertheless opened the scoring through Skriniar after a throw-in, with the goal coming from a fortunate scramble.

Beşiktaş continued to play quickly and aggressively. After the ball was moved rapidly to the left, Trossard supplied a clever pass and Rıdvan converted it to level the score.

The high tempo continued after halftime. The players’ determination produced tense passages and yellow cards. Fenerbahçe appeared more tired during the final half-hour, while Ederson stopped Beşiktaş from scoring on several successive attacks.

That resistance ended in the 73rd minute, when Beşiktaş completed an organized move and Vlahovic scored. Beşiktaş also hit the post with a third goal attempt, but the verdict was clear: the club had earned its win.
