Besiktas claims a victory over Ankaragücü: 0-2

Eagle came back from the Capital with 3 points at Ankara 19 Mayis Stadium in Week 33 of TSL with goals from Delgado and Tello.

Hosts turned in a fine display of attacking football in the early going, but our goalkeeper Rüstü Recber pulled off a number of clutch saves and kept them at bay. Despite a wet pitch which made it difficult to get the ball under control, the Black and White was awarded a penalty shot after Serdar Özkan was brought down inside the box during the injury time, and Delgado put his club 1-0 in front before the teams headed into the locker room at the half.

Besiktas slowed the game down in the second half but maintained control rest of the way. A 77th minute Tello free-kick from the left flank found the back of the net after hitting the cross bar and keeper Serkan’s leg. Black Eagles cruised to 2-0 victory, raising their point tally to 70.
