Ziraat Turkish Cup morale boost for Beşiktaş: A win after 4 matches

Beşiktaş defeated Sivasspor 1-0 away, securing a victory after a 4-match winless streak.

Beşiktaş found the goal in the 20th minute of the match played at the BG Group 4 Eylül Stadium. Rafa Silva, connecting with a cross from Joao Mario on the right wing, scored with a first-time shot to put the Black and Whites 1-0 ahead.

The first half of the match concluded with the visiting team leading 1-0.

In the second half, although Sivasspor created serious threats in front of the Beşiktaş goal, Mert Günok, who stood tall in goal, denied the home team with his saves.

Sivasspor came very close to an equalizer in the 87th minute. In a position where Mert Günok had come off his line, Uğur Çiftçi's quick shot toward the goal hit the post and bounced back into play.

Managing to maintain their lead for the remainder of the match, Beşiktaş left the pitch with a 1-0 victory and started the group stage with a win.

Beşiktaş, winning after 4 official matches, brought their points tally to 3 with this victory, while Sivasspor remained without points at the end of the first week.
