Besiktas Into 3rd Place in Turkcell Super Lig

Trabzonspor welcomed Besiktas in Week 12 of the Turkcell Super Lig. The game started in Trabzonspor's control and stayed that way. Umut Bulut peppered Hakan Arikan with shot after shot, only for Hakan to rise to the challenge each time. To Trabzonspor's disappointment, the game would go into halftime in a goalless draw.

Besiktas started the second half with two substitutes and were quickly rewarded. Besiktas were playing better and scored the opening goal early in the second half. Trabzonspor eventually regained control of the match and put constant pressure on the Besiktas. The effort paid off and gave them plenty of opportunities, except for Hakan Arikan to knock each one down and keep Besiktas in the game.

A second goal in added time for Besiktas would end all Trabzon hopes and give them the 3 points.
