Jota Silva made his debut in the worst possible way for Besiktas. The Istanbul-based team 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 transfer window - was brought on at the 61st minute but couldn't prevent the Black Eagles' loss.

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

In the second half, Sergen Yalçin made a swap of Portuguese players - Rafa Silva went off injured and Jota Silva came on - in an attempt to revive 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 climbs to second place in the Turkish league, with 12 points from six matches. Meanwhile, João Pereira, former coach of 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, scoring four goals and providing two assists. The player was a substitute in the first round of this season's Premier League and has now made his first appearance for Besiktas.
