Besiktas defeated Alanyaspor 2-1 in Super Lig's 10th match week in coastal city of Antalya on Saturday evening, getting their first victory after four league matches.

The match saw Besiktas finding the first goal in the 8th minute, thanks to an in-form striker Cenk Tosun. However, Alanyaspor managed to equalize the match in the 26th minute, from Brazilian defender Welinton Souza Silva.

In the 88th minute, Besiktas striker Alvaro Negredo took over and scored the winning goal for his team, ending the Black Eagles' four game winless streak.

The last victory Besiktas got in the league was against Konyaspor in the fifth match week, with a 2-0 score. After that, reigning champions suffered two loses from Fenerbahce and Genclerbirligi, and two draws from Basaksehir and Trabzonspor.

Despite their tough fixture, Besiktas is doing great in Champions League, winning all their three matches so far to lead their group.
