Beşiktaş started strong in their rescheduled match from the opening round of the Süper Lig, securing a dominant 0-4 victory over Zecorner Kayserispor. The standout of the night was Rafa Silva, who netted a stunning hat-trick that left the home defense helpless, while Tammy Abraham rounded off the win at the Kayseri Stadium.

Rafa Silva, unstoppable in attack

The match began with high intensity, and Rafa Silva quickly showed why he was the game’s most decisive player. In the 15th minute, he latched onto a through ball from Orkun Kökçü, calmly beating the keeper one-on-one to open the scoring. Shortly after, in the 32nd minute, he struck again with a first-time volley off a defensive clearance to make it 0-2.

The Portuguese forward’s inspiration didn’t stop there: in the 58th minute, another pinpoint assist from Kökçü left him through on goal once more, and he slotted home to complete his hat-trick and seal a man-of-the-match performance.

Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham also made his mark. In first-half stoppage time (45+1’), he capitalized on a Kayserispor mistake in the buildup, pouncing to recover the ball and smash it into the net, effectively putting the game out of reach before halftime.

Beşiktaş climbs the table

With this victory, Beşiktaş moved up to 9 points, climbing to ninth place in the standings and showing a level far above their opponents. Kayserispor, stuck on 4 points, dropped to sixth and will need to regroup quickly after such a heavy blow.

The calendar allows no rest: next round, Beşiktaş will host Kocaelispor at home, while Kayserispor will visit Gençlerbirliği in a crucial clash to avoid losing more ground.

The rout left several clear takeaways: Beşiktaş’s attacking firepower when Rafa Silva and Tammy Abraham are in form, and the defensive struggles of a Kayserispor side that failed to withstand the visitors’ storm. It was a perfect night for the “Black Eagles,” one that restores confidence in their ambitions within the Turkish league.
