Beşiktaş defeated Erzurumspor FK 3-0 at Tüpraş Stadium in the fifth week of the Trendyol Super League, securing their third victory and moving to the top of the table with 12 points on a match-play basis.
Emirhan Topçu and Trossard Seal First-Half Control
The breakthrough for the home side arrived in the 21st minute when Orkun Kökçü delivered a corner kick from the right flank, allowing Emirhan Topçu to rise at the six-yard line and steer a header into the far corner. According to match accounts, Beşiktaş doubled their lead just six minutes later. In the 27th minute, Leandro Trossard initiated a move down the left channel before feeding Hyeon-gyu Oh, whose sharp cross back into the goalmouth was met cleanly by Trossard for his first official goal in a Beşiktaş jersey. The hosts took that 2-0 advantage into the half-time interval.
Canceled Goals and Tactical Adjustments
Beşiktaş thought they had extended their lead further early in the second half, but referee Gürcan Hasova disallowed two separate efforts following video assistant referee reviews. In the 51st minute, Trossard tucked home a rebound, but the goal was chalked off after a VAR review showed Emmanuel Agbadou had handled the ball in the build-up near the center circle. Four minutes later, Vaclav Cerny found the net, but that effort was also ruled out due to an earlier foul by the winger. Despite the frustrations, Beşiktaş kept the pressure on the Erzurumspor defense, which ultimately yielded a third goal in the 81st minute when substitute İlhan Fakılı turned home a loose ball after a cross from Kartal Kayra.

Italiano Navigates Mandatory Squad Rotations
Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano was forced into two changes from the starting eleven that defeated Fenerbahçe 2-1 in the preceding derby, where left-back Rıdvan Yılmaz sustained an injury and Dusan Vlahovic served a one-match suspension from the Turkish Football Federation Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK). Italiano deployed Kassoum Ouattara in place of Yılmaz and gave Hyeon-gyu Oh the nod at the center-forward position. With the domestic fixture concluded, Beşiktaş turns its attention to continental competition, hosting Marseille on Thursday, September 17, in the opening week of the UEFA Europa League, before returning to league action away against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler. Erzurumspor FK, remaining on 4 points after their third defeat of the campaign, will host Samsunspor in the next round.
