For some reason, we always score two goals against Konyaspor and leave it at that. We could have scored more goals but the players seemed to make a special effort not to score.
In the first half Semih Kılıçsoy did what he does best and was brought down while making a dribbling in the penalty area and earned his team a penalty. Immobile again converted the penalty and Beşiktaş took the lead. As the first half went into extra time, Rafa Silva took the opportunity in the penalty area and scored in the league after a long time. The score was 2-0 and Beşiktaş was very relieved.
Although they had many opportunities in the second half, they couldn't score the third goal. It was as if they made a special effort to end the game like that. It could have been 3, 4 or even 5 goals. As a result, 2-0 is enough to get 3 points. However, the fans who went to the match and watched from home deserved a different victory.
I think this game is ideal for the tight fixture. The players didn't spend too much effort. The fitness for the Lyon game is high again. Then there is the Galatasaray game. The most important games will be played now. Beşiktaş needs to get the best out of all of them.
It did feel a bit odd when in the end this match ended with a score of 2-0. Beşiktaş seemed to have deliberately stopped scoring goals after leading 2-0 against Konyaspor, apparently on purpose considering Beşiktaş had many opportunities to create additional goals to increase their advantage. In the first half everything went according to what was expected, where Semih Kılıçsoy made a big difference in the attack line, creating a penalty which was then executed perfectly by Immobile. Likewise, Rafa Silva's second goal before the break also provided relief for the team and supporters.
However, it was very different in the second half, where even though Beşiktaş increasingly dominated the game, there seemed to be a little reluctance or perhaps inability to add goals. As if they were satisfied with the score of 2-0, even though they had many opportunities to add goals. And of course the fans expected more in the second half especially because this team has the ability to end the match with a bigger margin.
