Besiktas earn second win in a row

Defending Turkish champions Besiktas looked to have bounced back from a bad season start, with a 2-1 win over Kasimpasa on Saturday.

Two weeks after achieving what was only their second victory of the season, Besiktas added another three points in Saturday’s home match, with an opening goal from Nihat Kahveci in the eighth minute. Bobo made it 2-0 thirty minutes later.

Kasimpasa scored back in the 88th minute, as Andr Moritz converted a penalty kick, but Besiktas held on to their lead for a 2-1 victory.

League leaders Fenerbahce defend their top spot at Gaziantepspor on Sunday, while local rivals Galatasaray host Trabzonspor in Istanbul.
