Beşiktaş Draw 2-2 at Kasımpaşa After Leading 2-0

Beşiktaş traveled to Kasımpaşa in the 10th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig. The black-and-whites led 2-0 at the Kasımpaşa Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium but finished the match in a 2-2 draw. With this result, Beşiktaş, who fell 6 points behind the top of the table, drew notable reactions.

Sports columnists pointed out that the team failed to maintain its tempo in the second half. According to Cem Dizdar, Beşiktaş lost its intensity in the match after conceding in the 60th minute. It was noted that Kasımpaşa's goal in the 87th minute resembled the first goal Beşiktaş conceded from its center-back area.

Head coach Vincenzo Italiano's substitutions also drew reactions from columnists. Bilal Meşe criticized the removal of Murillo and Trossard and the introduction of Taylan and Rashica, who had been waiting on the bench. Turgay Demir considered the substitution of Trossard to be wrong, while Serkan Akcan wrote that Olaitan's simple passing errors disrupted the attack. When the score reached 2-1, Olaitan's removal and Oh's introduction, which returned the team to a 4-4-2 formation, also became a topic of debate.

The referee's performance was also criticized in Turgay Demir's column. According to the writer, Agbadou should have been booked at the start of the match, while the slap on Vlahovic went unpunished.
