The Turkish topper between Besiktas and Fenerbahçe has ended undecided. In the Vodafone Park in Istanbul it was 0-0. Wout Weghorst had two huge chances in the final phase to decide the game, but his headers just missed the mark. Due to the draw, Besiktas and Fenerbahçe are respectively in sixth and seventh place in the Süper Lig. The gap on leader Basaksehir, which still has a duel due, is very small with two and three points.
Besiktas started with Weghorst in the lead. He was assisted by Dele Alli, who was posted to 10. The flanks were occupied by Nathan Redmond and Jackson Muleka. With a block of two defensive midfielders and four defenders, coach Valérien Ismaël hoped to nip Fenerbahçe’s attacks in the bud. At the Yellow Canaries Ferdi Kadioglu was in the starting line-up. The born Arnhemmer was drafted as a right wing defender. Enner Valencia and João Pedro were placed in the striker by trainer Jorge Jesus.

Weghorst was dangerous after twelve minutes, when the Dutchman tried to anticipate a dangerous cross. Goalkeeper Altay Bayindir also paid attention and won the duel for the ball. Fenerbahçe’s goalkeeper was able to distinguish himself fifteen minutes before half time on an attempt by Redmond, whose shot to the left corner was well turned. Fenerbahçe, Turkey’s top scoring team, struggled to create chances. Still, Valencia became dangerous with a shot from an awkward angle, whose attempt was saved by Besiktas goalkeeper Ersin Destanoglu.
The start of the second half was marked by sloppiness on both sides. The first big chance came in the name of Attila Szalai, who got the ball at his feet after a long ball from Lincoln. The match had few chances, but Besiktas became dangerous fifteen minutes before the end. From a sharp cross by Rachid Ghezzal, Weghorst was a toe-length short to hit the ball well. Despite the fact that ten substitutions were made after the seventieth minute, this did not immediately lead to offensive impulses. In the 87th and 89th minute, Weghorst had the best chances of the match. His first header skimmed the left post, while his second attempt landed full on the same post.
