Milot Rashica settled it in the 64th minute with a right-footed finish, giving Beşiktaş a 1-0 win over Caykur Rizespor.

Early on, Rashica created the first clear opening, slipping in Vaclav Cerny for a close-range attempt (7.). The Kosovo international kept drifting into central pockets to receive on the move.

His decisive moment arrived when he got into the box to guide a low effort into the bottom left from Kartal Yilmaz's pass (64.). The timing of his run separated him from the centre-backs and turned pressure into points.

He threatened again on the break, shooting high after a quick transition with Cerny (72.). Across the night he produced two attempts, nine touches in the area and two key passes, a blend that underlined how he knit attacks together and provided the final touch.

Because Kara Kartal found him between the lines and in the right half of the box, his nine successful final third passes repeatedly unsettled Rize's shape and kept the game tilted towards the hosts.

Kara Kartal visit Fenerbahçe in the Türkiye Kupasi next. Caykur Rizespor travel to Göztepe in the Süper Lig.
