Beşiktaş opened their Süper Lig campaign with a 43:22 victory over Giresunspor on Friday evening. The hosts sit top of the table after one game, while Giresunspor remain in tenth place with no points from their opening fixture.
The result ended Giresunspor's unbeaten start, though they still hold a draw from their previous meeting. Beşiktaş have been inconsistent in recent outings, including a narrow 32:33 defeat to Neşe and a 30:27 win against Bursa Nilüfer Belediyespor.
The margin of victory tells the story of a match where the hosts never really looked back. Beşiktaş have shown flashes of quality before, with a 41:23 triumph over İstanbul Gençlik Spor and a 38:0 shutout against AİFK 2.
Giresunspor have struggled for consistency in their recent form. They drew 31:35 with Spor Toto and lost 35:42 to Trabzon in their last two outings before this weekend's fixture.
The win extends Beşiktaş's advantage at the summit after their previous encounter with Giresunspor ended 31:40 in the visitors' favour back in March. The hosts now hold 2 points while Giresunspor sit on 0.
