Vlahovic Double Fuels Beşiktaş’s 3-0 Rout of 10-Man Gençlerbirliği

Beşiktaş delivered a commanding performance to thrash 10-man Gençlerbirliği 3-0 in the Süper Lig Regular Season – 11, with Dusan Vlahovic’s brace and Emmanuel Poku’s late strike sealing a comprehensive victory. The match turned decisively in Beşiktaş’s favor early on, as Gençlerbirliği’s Metehan Baltacı was sent off in the 22nd minute after picking up two yellow cards in quick succession.

The chaos began in just the 2nd minute, when Beşiktaş’s Wilfred Ndidi was booked for a reckless challenge. Gençlerbirliği’s Baltacı soon joined him in the book in the 17th minute for a cynical foul on Leandro Trossard. Moments later, Vlahovic opened the scoring for Beşiktaş in the 20th minute with a clinical finish, assisted by Trossard.

Beşiktaş’s Dominance After the Red Card

Baltacı’s dismissal two minutes later left Gençlerbirliгі in disarray. Beşiktaş capitalized immediately, with Vlahovic doubling their lead in the 45th minute — again set up by the creative Trossard. The Serbian striker’s brace marked his 10th goal of the Süper Lig season, cementing his status as one of the league’s deadliest marksmen.

Gençlerbirliği’s misery deepened after the break, as Oğulcan Diabate received a yellow card in the 50th minute. Beşiktaş continued to dominate possession, controlling 69% of the ball and registering 20 shots compared to Gençlerbirliği’s meager 3. Emmanuel Poku put the icing on the cake in the 85th minute, slotting home Beşiktaş’s third goal with another Trossard assist.

Gençlerbirliği’s Struggles Continue

For Gençlerbirliği, the match was a nightmare from start to finish. Baltacı’s red card left them chasing shadows, and they failed to create meaningful chances, managing just one shot on target all game. The visitors’ frustration was evident as they committed 15 fouls and picked up three yellow cards.

Beşiktaş’s win puts them in a strong position in the Süper Lig table, while Gençlerbirliği’s struggles deepen. With their next matches crucial for both teams, Beşiktaş will look to build on this momentum, while Gençlerbirliği must regroup quickly to avoid falling further behind.
