Jota Silva couldn't prevent Besiktas' defeat; Footballer who slipped away from Sporting debuts in the worst way

Jota Silva debuted in the worst way for Besiktas. The Istanbul-based club traveled to Goztepe's home in the sixth round of the Turkish League. The match ended in a 3-0 defeat. The Portuguese international - who slipped away from Sporting in the last market - was brought on at the 61st minute but couldn't prevent the black eagles' defeat.

The visiting team was surprised just four minutes into the game when Brazilian Juan Santos opened the scoring. But the poor start for the Istanbul club didn't stop there. At 19', the home team doubled their lead with Rhaldney Gomes scoring.

In the second half, Sergen Yalçin made a Portuguese swap - Rafa Silva went off injured and Jota Silva came on - in an attempt to spark Besiktas' attack. However, Ibrahim Sabra, with an acrobatic shot, sealed the final score with a great bicycle kick (84').

Besiktas is in 10th place, with six points from four games, while Goztepe rises to second place in the Turkish league, with 12 points from six matches. Meanwhile, João Pereira, former coach of the Alvalade Club, is in seventh place with Alanyaspor, with eight points from five games.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest last season, with four goals and two assists. The player was a substitute used in the first round of the Premier League this season and has now played his first match for Besiktas.
