It took Besiktas just 11 minutes to take the lead courtesy of Everton loanee Cenk Tosun with Atiba Hutchinson providing the assist. Hutchinson’s header off Oguzhan Ozyakup’s corner kick slipped towards the Turkish star who simply steered home from close range.
Alanyaspor tried all their best to fight back but they were unable to get past goalkeeper Ersin Destanoglu. Subsequently, they went into the half-time break with a goal deficit.
Nothing changed in the second half as the hosts firmly dominated ball possession. Their dominance turned in another goal in the 58th minute through Algerian star Ghezzal. Profiting from a pass outside the box from captain Hutchinson, the Leicester City loanee curled in a beauty past Portuguese goalkeeper Marafone.
