Besiktas enjoyed success with a 3-0 victory

Eagles routed their 3rd-placed opponents Gaziantepspor 3-0 at home and were back on the league title.

Besiktas made a blistering start into the game and jumped out to an early lead on 3rd minutes. Da Silva Bobo drew first blood with a strong strike to longe-range goal kick from keeper Hakan Arikan. Eagles mounted numerous dangerous attacks to double the lead but wasted a flurry of chances and went into the locker room with one goal advantage.

Eduardo, who received a yellow card at the first half, grabbed his second and visiting Gaziantep had to carry on with 10 men from the 47th minute onwards.

The game’s balance went into the favor of the Besiktas and it took just six minutes for home side to find second goal as Nobre found unmarked Serdar Ozkan inside the box who drilled the ball into the right corner. Nobre took a brilliant pass from Zapotocny in the dying seconds and slid the ball past Gaziantep’s ex-Besiktas goalkeeper Murat Sahin into the visitor's net to make it 3-0 for Black and whites.
