Italiano Makes Winning Debut with Besiktas in Turkey
Vincenzo Italiano's tenure at Besiktas begins with a victory. At the Vodafone Arena in Istanbul, the black and white team narrowly defeated Eyupspor 1-0, earning the former Bologna and Fiorentina coach his first three points in Turkey. The hard-fought match was decided in the 25th minute by Vaclav Cerny, who skillfully finished a well-worked team move with a right-footed shot that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance.
Besiktas, Cerny Gifts Italiano His First Victory in Turkey
In the second half, Cerny came close to scoring a brace from a free-kick, but a post denied him a second goal. The closing stages became more comfortable for Besiktas after David Costa's expulsion for a second yellow card, allowing Italiano's team to manage their lead until the final whistle. In other matches, Istanbul Basaksehir also secured a win, beating Kocaelispor 2-0 with a goal from former Serie A player Eldor Shomurodov, while Amedspor convincingly defeated Erzurumspor 3-0.
