Beşiktaş suffer their first defeat of the season away at Alanyaspor

In week 2 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Corendon Alanyaspor faced Beşiktaş. The match, played at the Mediterranean side's home ground, was won 1-0 by Alanyaspor, securing their first victory of the season. Beşiktaş, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the season after winning their opening six official matches across the Europa League and the league.

Following a goalless first half, the score remained unchanged for a long stretch of the second half as well. In the 73rd minute, from a corner kick taken on the left flank, Nuno Lima rose well to meet Hadergjonaj's cross and placed a header that struck the crossbar before finding the net. With this goal, Alanyaspor secured a 1-0 victory in the match.

Before the match, both teams made changes to their lineups. Vincenzo Italiano gave starting spots to Emirhan Topçu, Ndidi, and Hyeon-gyu Oh compared to the Eyüpspor match, while on Alanyaspor's side, Baran Ali Gezek took the place of an injured player. Throughout the match, chances created by Beşiktaş through Oh and Vlahovic came to nothing thanks to goalkeeper Victor's successful saves.

Following this result, Alanyaspor raised their points tally to 4, while Beşiktaş remained on 3 points. The black-and-whites failed to secure a win in their last seven matches away to Alanyaspor; they had last beaten this opponent away from home in the 2019-20 season. In the upcoming week of the league, Alanyaspor will visit Eyüpspor away, while Beşiktaş will host Çorum FK at home.
