Besiktas has three points left on Saturday from the duel with Fatih Karagümrük in the Süper Lig. The team of trainer Sergen Yalçin won 1-0 thanks to a hit by Alex Teixeira after less than half an hour of play. Besiktas and Konyaspor are the shared leaders of the Turkish league with seven points from three matches.

A placed bet by Teixeira in the right corner from about eighteen meters was too powerful for goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano. For Salih Ucan, the game was already over shortly after the break. The midfielder gave Erhun Öztümer a tap from behind at the center line and received his second yellow card. Despite the under-count situation, the reigning national champion held out.

It is the first time since 1985/86 that Besiktas has not conceded a single goal after the first three matchdays. After the international match, a home game with Yeni Malatyaspor awaits. Galatasaray plays against Kasimpasa on Sunday, while Fenerbahçe awaits an away game with Altay.
