After the Sporting saga, Jota Silva finally smiles at Besiktas | OneFootball

Besiktas won this Monday, September 29, against Kocaelispor, by 3-1, in a match of the seventh round of the Turkish league. Jota Silva, after an unhappy debut, claimed his first victory with his new club, coming on in the match at the 55th minute.

The first goal came from Rafa Silva, who scored in the 4th minute after a pass from Tammy Abraham. The 32-year-old Portuguese player only had to tap it in to make it 1-0 at Vodafone Arena. In the 10th minute, Vaclav Cerny made it 2-0 and increased the lead for the Istanbul giants.

Right after halftime, in the 50th minute, Tayfur Bingol pulled one back for Kocaelispor. The 3-1 came already in stoppage time (90+3m), with Oleksandr Syrota putting the ball into his own net. With this result, Besiktas is in fifth place, with 12 points. Kocaelispor remains at the bottom, with two.

The Portuguese forward left Nottingham Forest for the Turkish club, after having been close to signing for Sporting in the last summer transfer window. About a year after joining the English club, who signed him from Vitória de Guimarães, the player is now looking to make his mark in Turkey.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – played in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest last season, scoring four goals and providing two assists. The player came off the bench in the first round of this season’s Premier League and already has two appearances for Besiktas.
