The Istanbul derby between two of big football clubs in Türkiye, took place on April 2 and Besiktas beat the Fenerbahce at their home with an amazing comeback.
Ten-man Besiktas came from one goal behind to beat Fenerbahce 4-2 in an Istanbul derby on April 2 night to cut the gap with its rival in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Fenerbahce made a good start to the game, and Enner Valencia put the home side in the lead by successfully converting a penalty shot in the 41st minute.
The second half, however, was a different story, and the turning point of the game came in the 53rd minute when Valencia missed a penalty shot, two minutes after Beşiktaş defender Welinton was sent off.
Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun scored back-to-back goals in the 58th and 62nd minutes, while Nathan Redmond, who came on the pitch in the second half, added another in the 75th.
Vincent Aboubakar scored Besiktas’s fourth goal in the 91st minute, with the Fenerbahçe fans in the stands applauding Beşiktaş.
İrfan Kahveci pulled one back in the 95th minute, but the goal was met by the supporters with more boos than praise.
