Gaziantep FK hosted Beşiktaş in Week 32 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, suffering a 2-0 defeat at home. In this crucial match, the Black Eagles secured three points with goals from Tiago Djalo and Kristjan Asllani. The outcome impacted Gaziantep FK's league position, while Beşiktaş maintained its spot in the upper echelons of the standings.
Beşiktaş started the match quickly, taking a 1-0 lead in the 8th minute with a header from Tiago Djalo. The away side continued their effective play in the first half, doubling their lead in the 22nd minute with a penalty kick from Kristjan Asllani, going into halftime with a 2-0 advantage. Gaziantep FK goalkeeper Zafer Görgen was helpless against these goals.
In the second half, Gaziantep FK created more effective chances to change the score but failed to find the back of the net. The home team, particularly with players like Jota Silva (following a pass from Cengiz Ünder), Maxim, and Mohamed Bayo, tested the opponent's goal but could not beat the Beşiktaş defense and goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu.
One of the most controversial moments of the match occurred in the 88th minute. Draguş, receiving a pass from Sorescu, shot the ball, which rebounded off Ersin Destanoğlu back to Draguş, who then found the net. However, referee Abdullah Buğra Taşkınsoy, after a VAR review, disallowed the goal due to Draguş's handball.
With this result, Beşiktaş increased their points to 59, solidifying their 4th position in the league. Gaziantep FK remained at 37 points, placing them 10th. This Trendyol Süper Lig defeat once again highlighted the importance of the remaining league matches for Gaziantep FK in their fight for points.
