Eagles win the game from 2 goals down

Our team came from two goals down to beat the Denizlispor 3-2 in a TSL match at İnonü Stadium. There were two unexpected goals in our nets by poor defending in the first 10 minute. At that point chanting of Beşiktaş fans goes louder and that forced to team to play foolhardy and Chilean leftie Rodrigo Tello reduced the score to 2-1 in the 17th minute.

Bobo scored the equalizer for Eagles in the 34th by classy passing with Nobre. Winning goal came from young winger Serdar Kurtuluş by the free-kick of Tello in the second half. Beşiktaş finished the match with 10 men after French midfielder Edouard Cisse was red-carded late in the game for mocking the referee. He won't play against Gala next week.

Besiktas lost the first CL match in the last 15 minutes

Besiktas resisted against Marseille up until the 76th minute, after having been forced to change two players before the first half was over. Julian Rodriguez scored Marseilles first goal in the 78th minute and Dibril Cisse scored the second one in the 91st.

While the scorers may not have had a busy night, referee Matteo Simone Trefoloni certainly did, handing out no less than seven yellow cards, five of them going to Marseille players.

The home side played a rough brand of football that unsettled the Besiktas side and broke up its cohesion. While the tough tackling and at times over the top physical play earned Marseille five red cards, it also helped it gain the win.

Refereeing disaster caused another goaless draw

Our Team were held to a scoreless draw by Ankaraspor, but television replays clearly showed that the Beşiktaş were robbed of victory after their clean goal in the 2nd minute of added time was unjustly canceled by referee Vedat Yüksel.

The match surely didn't disappoint the fans who went to Ankara’s 19 Mayıs Stadium to watch the game live. It was a feast of fast attacking soccer and both teams had their moments. The Eagles, the better and more desperate side, created most of the chances, but Ertuğrul Sağlam’s lads could not convert them.
