He met a corner kick with a clever header, directing the ball into the far corner of the net beyond the reach of the opposing goalkeeper.

Beyond his crucial opening goal, the 25-year-old striker further demonstrated his impact by drawing a penalty in the second half. Teammate Orkun Kokcu converted the spot-kick, securing Besiktas' third goal and solidifying their commanding lead. Oh's performance was widely praised, earning him a perfect rating for his efforts on the field.

Oh, who joined Besiktas from Belgian club KRC Genk in February, was substituted in the 60th minute, making way for newly acquired Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic. Last season, Oh was a key player for Besiktas, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in 16 official appearances. This latest performance suggests he is regaining his scoring form as the team aims for qualification into the Europa League main draw.
