Göztepe Humbles BeşIktaş 3-0 and Ignites the Süper Lig
Göztepe enjoyed a dream night at the Gürsel Aksel Stadium, defeating Beşiktaş 3-0 in Matchday 6 of the Trendyol Süper Lig. The home side showed ruthless efficiency and left the visitors with no response, as Beşiktaş continues a shaky start to the season.
A blistering start from Göztepe
The match had barely begun when, in the 4th minute, Juan capitalized on a scrappy play in the box following a touch from Heliton and fired home at close range to open the scoring, catching the Beşiktaş defense off guard. The hosts kept the pressure high, and in the 19th minute, a great move down the left ended with a cross from Janderson that Rhaldney converted into the 2-0 with a precise finish.

The first half was a reflection of Göztepe’s dominance: intensity, high pressing, and quick transitions that completely dismantled the “Black and Whites.” Despite a few isolated attempts, like a shot from Cerny in the 45+3’ and a strike off the crossbar from Gökhan Sazdağı after the restart, Beşiktaş never found a clear way to score.
Ibrahim Sabra delivers the final blow
In the second half, Mehmet Türkmen’s side managed their lead well. Even as Beşiktaş pushed higher up the pitch looking for a lifeline, goalkeeper Lis stood firm and the home defense remained organized.
The party in Izmir was sealed in the 85th minute: a cross from the right was first struck by Ibrahim Sabra, who collected the rebound and finished spectacularly to make it 3-0.
The defeat left Beşiktaş with only 6 points in the table, while Göztepe climbed to 12, consolidating a strong start to the campaign. The result not only deepens Beşiktaş’s inconsistency but also fuels the dreams of the local fans, who celebrated a historic home victory.
What’s next for both teams
In the next round, Beşiktaş will host Kocaelispor at Vodafone Park, but first they must play a postponed fixture against Kayserispor. Meanwhile, Göztepe will look to extend their good run when they visit Eyüpspor, boosted by this emphatic win.
The blow delivered by Göztepe was not only footballing but also psychological, proving that in this Süper Lig no rival can afford to be complacent — not even one with Beşiktaş’s historic stature.
