Following their defeat to Gaziantep FK, Beşiktaş left the pitch defeated once again against Konyaspor. Head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer largely kept the squad that had brought success in previous weeks, but this time the result did not change. The black-and-white team was defeated 1-0 by Konyaspor, who played with 10 men from the 27th minute and 9 men after the 64th minute.
Solskjaer had fielded Tayyip Talha Sanuç in place of Jonas Svensson, who was injured in the Gaziantep FK match. Against Konyaspor, he only included Gabriel Paulista in the starting 11 at center-back. However, these changes were not enough to improve Beşiktaş's performance.
The failure of players such as Chamberlain, Joao Mario, and Ciro Immobile to perform as expected led to Beşiktaş losing to a team with 9 men for the first time in its history. This result has caused disappointment among the fans.
It has been learned that during the international break, Beşiktaş will enter an intensive preparation program at the Ümraniye Nevzat Demir Facilities ahead of the Galatasaray derby.
