Trossard Torments Erzurum as Besiktas Cruise 3-0

Besiktas Brush Aside Erzurumspor in Comfortable 3-0 Süper Lig Win

Leandro Trossard struck and Yigit Kirtay’s late own goal compounded the misery as Besiktas strolled to a 3-0 victory over Erzurumspor FK in the Süper Lig’s fifth round — a statement of intent from the Black Eagles that left their visitors featherless.

Besiktas Take Flight Early

The Inönü roared as Emirhan Topcu broke the deadlock after 21 minutes, tucking home Orkun Kokcu’s threaded pass after Erzurum’s defence parted like the Bosphorus at dawn. Kokcu’s yellow card five minutes earlier for a cynical clip was forgotten as the midfielder turned provider.

Trossard doubled the lead six minutes later, finishing off Oh Hyeon-Gyu’s whipped cross with the predatory instincts that once terrorised Premier League defences. The Belgian’s beaming grin said it all — this was Besiktas in cruise control.

Erzurumspor’s False Dawn

Erzurum thought they had a lifeline when Trossard’s 51st-minute strike was chalked off for handball after a VAR review, but the visitors’ substitutions — throwing on Cardoso, Rodriguez and Mujakic before the 70th minute — smacked of desperation.

Besiktas rode the brief storm, Wilfred Ndidi’s 71st-minute introduction adding steel as the hosts saw yellow cards for Ouattara and Ozcan. Then came the coup de grâce: Kirtay’s attempted clearance under pressure from the fresh-legged Ezequiel Poku ballooning into his own net after 81 minutes, sealing Erzurum’s fate.

What This Means for Both Sides

The scoreline flattered Erzurumspor, who mustered no shots on target in 90 minutes of tactical surrender. For Besiktas, this was a routine dismantling — the kind that builds title belief even in September. With Trossard purring and the substitutes making impacts, the Black Eagles soar into their next fixture with momentum coursing through their wings.
