Besiktas' derby win and the Vlahovic-Skriniar clash make headlines across Europe

In the fourth round of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Besiktas secured a 2-1 away win over Fenerbahce, ending a one-season drought without a derby victory. Fenerbahce took the lead through Milan Skriniar in the 26th minute, only for Rıdvan Yılmaz to level the score in the 38th minute. Although Besiktas failed to convert several chances in the second half, Dusan Vlahovic's goal in the 73rd minute proved decisive, securing the away win.

Under coach Vincenzo Italiano, Besiktas ended a run of four league matches without a derby victory. The match drew widespread attention across Europe, largely due to Vlahovic's winning goal and a tense on-field incident. Italian media in particular focused heavily on the confrontation between former Juventus striker Vlahovic and former Inter defender Skriniar.

Outlets such as Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport and Sky Sport Italia reported on a fiery head-to-head clash between the two players, which included pushing and mutual insults exchanged in Italian. According to reports, Vlahovic also made a rude gesture toward Skriniar following the altercation. Italian media highlighted the rivalry between the two former Serie A stars as the most talked-about moment of the match.

Serbian and Belgian media also gave extensive coverage to the derby. Serbian outlets Danas and RTS emphasized that Vlahovic continued his scoring streak in Turkey, netting the decisive goal in his first major derby appearance. Meanwhile, Belgian outlet DH les Sport reported that Romelu Lukaku, who came on in the 67th minute, failed to make an impact and, in one incident, nearly injured Leandro Trossard's ankle.
