Following the match, Beşiktaş manager Fernando Santos made statements.
In his statement, Santos said; "We found the positions to finish the match; we could have made it 2-0 and won. The match continued at 1-0 until stoppage time. We could have carried the ball to the opponent's half and finished the match in stoppage time, but we could not do that. We knew our opponent would play long balls. That is why we brought our tall players into the game. It would have been an important victory, but we conceded a goal in the final minute. I cannot find anything to say. The final minutes of the match were very important; we should have stayed concentrated, but we could not. We could not prevent the ball from coming to our goal," he said.
The Portuguese manager continued his words by stating; "Our opponent had more possession than us, but that was never our plan. We went onto the pitch to have more possession than Başakşehir, but somehow we could not do that," he stated.
