Beşiktaş dominated Gaziantep FK from the outset, controlling 64% of possession and completing 539 accurate passes compared to Gaziantep’s 255. This overwhelming passing accuracy allowed Beşiktaş to dictate the tempo and limit Gaziantep’s opportunities, despite the latter having more total shots (17 vs 12). The early goals from T. Djalo (7') and K. Asllani (22')—the latter from a penalty—highlighted Beşiktaş’s clinical efficiency, as they converted their limited chances into a decisive lead. Gaziantep’s inability to capitalize on their higher shot volume (4 on target) and corner count (8 vs 2) underscored their tactical struggles, particularly in transitioning from set pieces and maintaining defensive structure under pressure. The yellow card to D. Camara (31') further disrupted Gaziantep’s rhythm, as their already limited attacking options were stifled by Beşiktaş’s midfield dominance.
