Standout star fires Caykur Rizespor into control against Beşiktaş | OneFootball

Ali Sowe struck in the 18th minute, then doubled up before the break, his brace shaping Caykur Rizespor's 2-2 draw with Beşiktaş.

He opened the scoring by taking Modibo Sagnan's pass on the move and rifling a left-footed finish into the top left from the centre of the box.

He then doubled the lead with a glancing header (31.), converting Adedire Mebude's fast-break cross into the bottom right corner.

After the restart, Kara Kartal rallied, yet Sowe stayed the outlet and threat, finishing with six attempts, five from inside the box, and four possessions won high up the pitch.

His direct runs between the centre-backs and willingness to attack early deliveries powered the hosts' transitions and kept the visitors' back line uneasy.

Caykur Rizespor remain eighth on 41 points, while Kara Kartal are fourth on 60 and in the Conference League qualification slot.
