Gedson Fernandes shines in Europe

Gedson Fernandes continued his outstanding form and scored his fourth goal of the season in European competitions, making him Besiktas’ top scorer. His last three goals were assisted by Rafa Silva, demonstrating a strong attacking partnership.

Tribute to the victims of terrorist attacks

Both Beşiktaş and Lyon wore black armbands in solidarity with the victims of the recent terrorist attack on the Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI).

Besiktas players also wore black jerseys, shorts and socks as part of the honor.

Besiktas’ win not only ended Lyon’s unbeaten streak, but also increased the Turkish club’s chances in the Europa League season.
