Besiktas lost the first derby (2-1)

The first derby behind closed doors in the history of Turkish super league played at Ali Sami Yen Stadium due to the ban of Galatasaray.

The early minutes of the game staged a typical mid-field struggle by both teams. But the home side Galatasaray went ahead 1-0 with Hakan Balta, in the 23rd minute, then Chilean Tello brought the score to 1-1 with perfect shoot at one minute before the half time break.

Our team could not get organized well throughout the 2nd half. Galatasaray won much-talked penalty in 77th minute and Nonda put him team 2-1 ahead. Black eagles could not set enough pressure for equalizing goal in the last 10 minutes and home side won the silent derby.
