In the 17th matchday of the current SuperLig season, two teams with different trajectories faced off. On one side, Beşiktaş sits in European spots and contends for the third position, while Alanyaspor sought a challenging away victory to escape the danger of relegation.

Beşiktaş, with only one home defeat against the leader Fenerbahçe on December 9 by a scoreline of 3-1, felt comfortable facing the team in sixteenth place. In theory, the home team seemed superior as the visitors had only secured two positive results away from home.

The match started with Beşiktaş taking the lead in the first 15 minutes and aiming to extend their advantage. However, as time passed, they lost ground and ended up drawing at the end of the first half, a goal that hit the home team like a cold shower in the locker room.

The second half was a festival of defensive errors for Beşiktaş, as they threw themselves in search of the result. These lapses were exploited by Alanyaspor, who in the last 10 minutes of the match sealed the comeback as visitors, a blow from which the home team could not recover.

With this result, Alanyaspor moved out of the danger zone, seeking to overturn the initial situation they were facing, while Beşiktaş will have to wake up to avoid dropping in the standings and losing European spots. The mid-table is quite tight; from the fourth place to the ninth, there is only a four-point difference.
