In a preliminary match of the Europa Conference League, the Black Eagles of Besiktas took a good option for qualification by defeating KF Tirana with a score of 3-1. This victory allows them to take a comfortable lead for the rest of the competition.
From the 21st minute, Onur Bulut opened the scoring for Besiktas thanks to an assist from Arthur Masuaku, the Congolese left side. Three minutes before the break, it was the turn of Jackson Muleka, former striker of TP Mazembe, to score the second goal with a good action combined with Vincent Aboubakar.
In the second period, Besiktas slowed down, allowing the Albanians to reduce the score seven minutes from time thanks to a goal from Kaina. But in the last moments of the match, Besiktas took cover by scoring a third goal through Semih Kilicsoy.
The win gives Besiktas a two-goal lead heading into the return leg against KF Tirana in Tirana, scheduled for Thursday, August 3.
This performance by the Turkish team is promising for the rest of the competition and testifies to the talent of players such as Jackson Muleka and Arthur Masuaku. Let’s hope they will continue this momentum and offer us great emotions in the next Europa League Conference matches
