Beşiktaş's Serbian marksman Dusan Vlahovic scored a 73rd-minute winner to help his side come from behind to defeat cross-town rivals Fenerbahçe 2-1 in an intense Turkish Süper Lig derby Saturday.
The victory elevated Beşiktaş to nine points from their opening four matches of the campaign, while Fenerbahçe remained stuck on six points after suffering their second defeat in four league outings.
Beşiktaş established an aggressive tempo from the opening minute, forcing Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Ederson into making early saves.
In the 16th minute, Leandro Trossard collected a clever pass from Orkun Kökçü and tested the Brazilian shot-stopper with a curling effort from the left side of the penalty area.
Ederson was called upon again six minutes later, diving sharply to his left to parry a powerful long-range strike from Junior Olaitan.
