Beşiktaş secured a comfortable 6:2 victory over Yeni Çorumspor in the Süper Lig's third round of matches played on 31st August at the Tüpraş Stadium. The hosts opened the scoring through V. Cerny in the ninth minute before D. Vlahovic added a penalty just before the break. By then the visitors had seen O. Kokcu booked and were already playing catch-up.
The second half saw M. Diomande pull one back for Yeni Çorumspor in the fifty-second minute, but Vlahovic responded immediately with another goal thirty-seven seconds later. He completed his hat-trick in the sixty-sixth minute, and the match was effectively sealed by that point. I. Fakili and E. Mahmic added late goals for the visitors, while M. Murillo scored in the eighty-third minute for Beşiktaş.
There was a cancelled goal for Yeni Çorumspor when E. Poku's effort in the eighty-sixth minute was ruled offside after VAR review. Six yellow cards were shown in total, with D. Vlahovic picking one up in the sixty-seventh minute despite his prolific display. The home side made five substitutions around the seventy-first minute, including bringing on V. Cerny and J. Ramirez.
Beşiktaş registered 80 attacks against 68 for the visitors, while their expected goals figure of 2.86 tells a different story to the 0.59 recorded by Yeni Çorumspor. The hosts completed 409 passes at 84.3 per cent accuracy, compared to 327 for the away side. Seven shots on target produced six goals for the home side, whereas Yeni Çorumspor managed only three shots on target for two goals.
The result leaves Beşiktaş in thirteenth place with three points from two matches, a significant improvement on their goalless draws and narrow defeats earlier in the campaign. Yeni Çorumspor remain fifteenth on a single point after picking up only a draw against Galatasaray in their previous outing.
