Beşiktaş Stunned at Home as Gaziantep Strikes Early
So here’s what’s happening right now in this intense Süper Lig showdown between Beşiktaş and Gaziantep FK. The match at Tüpraş Stadium has been unfolding with high tension, and surprisingly, it was Gaziantep FK who struck the first major blow. Even though Beşiktaş came into this game confident and backed by their home crowd, things didn’t start the way they had hoped.
Right from the opening whistle, both sides tried to settle into the rhythm of the game, but Gaziantep found their moment early. In just the 7th minute, a defensive mistake by Beşiktaş set the stage for the opening goal. Gökhan, under a bit of pressure, misplayed the ball at the back. Gaziantep’s Bayo pounced on it immediately, suddenly finding himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Ersin. With calm precision, he slotted the ball into the net, putting Gaziantep ahead 1–0 and silencing the home crowd before they even had time to warm up.

Interestingly, Beşiktaş actually had the first real threat of the game. Only two minutes in, a corner delivered by Orkun Kökçü found Ndidi at the back post. His close-range header went just wide, hinting at what could have been a perfect start for the home team. Instead, the early miss was followed by a defensive lapse, and momentum shifted sharply.
After going behind, Beşiktaş tried to respond quickly. One of the clearest chances came in the 10th minute when El Bilal capitalized on another error in Gaziantep’s defense. He rounded goalkeeper Zafer beautifully, but the ball slipped too far ahead of him at the final touch and drifted out of play. It was the kind of moment that made the whole stadium groan—it felt like an equalizer slipping through their fingers.
In terms of lineups, Beşiktaş entered the match with names like Ersin, Rıdvan, Ndidi, Orkun, Cengiz, Cerny, Jota, and El Bilal leading their attacking options. Gaziantep countered with a lineup featuring Zafer, Tayyip Talha, Camara, Maxim, and of course Bayo—who made his presence felt immediately.
This match carries weight for both teams in the league table. Beşiktaş began the week in 6th place with 24 points from 14 matches, while Gaziantep sat just below them in 7th. With that early goal, Gaziantep not only put pressure on Beşiktaş but also sent a message that they were ready to fight for every point available.
As the game continues, Beşiktaş will be pushing hard to turn things around, but Gaziantep’s early strike has definitely made things more complicated than the home side expected. The tension is rising, the pace is high, and every moment feels like it could swing the match in a new direction.
