Trabzonspor defeated Beşiktaş 2-0 in the Süper Lig to extend their home form and hand Beşiktaş a second away defeat in their last three away games. Ozan Tufan broke the deadlock in the first half and Mohamed Salah added a second after the interval, giving Trabzonspor a result that underlines the strength of their record on home soil this season.
How the game unfolded
Tufan put Trabzonspor ahead in the 21st minute, finishing to give the hosts an early advantage. Beşiktaş responded by committing to the ball — they would end the match with 62 per cent possession — but struggled to convert their pressure into clear danger. Fabio Miretti was booked for Beşiktaş in the 32nd minute, and Fabinho received a yellow card for Trabzonspor a minute later.
Emirhan Topçu was booked in the 60th minute as the visitors' frustration mounted. Salah settled the contest in the 71st minute, finishing from an assist by Franculino Djú to make it 2-0. İlhan Fakılı came on for Beşiktaş at the 77th minute and was booked in the 85th minute. Kassoum Ouattara, another Beşiktaş substitute, collected the fourth yellow card of the evening for the visitors in the 90th minute.
The numbers
Trabzonspor went into the match fifth in the Süper Lig on 13 points from seven games, while Beşiktaş sat a place above them in fourth on 15 points. The win was built on efficiency rather than possession: Trabzonspor had 38 per cent of the ball but put eight of their 13 shots on target, with an xG of 2.35 in this match.
The result continued a strong spell for Trabzonspor at home. Both of their home league games among their last five in the league ended in wins, and they had kept a clean sheet in both.
Beşiktaş's average xG over their last four matches stands at 2.48, but they fell well short of that in this match.
Conclusion
Trabzonspor were clinical where Beşiktaş were not, and that gap in finishing quality proved the difference. Tufan's early goal gave the hosts a platform and Salah, assisted by Djú, finished the job after the interval.
