Beşiktaş underlined their Turkish Cup credentials with a commanding 3-0 victory over Keçiörengücü, as El Bilal Touré once again played a decisive role in front of the Istanbul club’s home supporters.
The Black and Whites produced a composed and authoritative display to comfortably negotiate their second matchday of the competition, asserting control early and maintaining it throughout a one-sided contest.
From the opening exchanges, Beşiktaş imposed their rhythm, pressing high and circulating the ball with confidence against a Keçiörengücü side that struggled to find any sustained momentum.
Their dominance in possession and territory was evident in the first half, as Beşiktaş patiently built attacks while limiting their opponents to rare counter-attacking opportunities.
Although the early stages did not yield a flurry of chances, the hosts’ structure and discipline ensured they were rarely threatened, setting the tone for what followed after the interval.
The decisive moment arrived ten minutes into the second half.
In the 55th minute, El Bilal Touré extended Beşiktaş’s advantage, calmly converting after being released by a precise pass from Bulut.
The goal proved to be a turning point, draining belief from Keçiörengücü and giving the home side the freedom to dictate the remainder of the match.
With a two-goal cushion secured, Beşiktaş managed proceedings with maturity, slowing the tempo when required and accelerating play to exploit spaces as Keçiörengücü attempted to respond.
The visitors found it increasingly difficult to cope with the hosts’ movement and technical quality, while Beşiktaş remained organised and efficient across all areas of the pitch.
Touré’s contribution once again highlighted his growing influence within the squad.
The forward has enjoyed a productive campaign so far, and his latest goal further strengthened his impressive statistical output.
Across all competitions this season, he has now featured in 13 matches, scoring five goals and providing four assists.
That level of consistency has made him a key component of Beşiktaş’s attacking structure and a reliable source of decisive moments.
Beyond the individual performance, the result reflected Beşiktaş’s collective ambition in the Turkish Cup.
The team demonstrated balance between attacking intent and defensive control, qualities that will be essential as the competition progresses.
Their ability to maintain concentration after establishing a lead was particularly notable, ensuring Keçiörengücü were never given an opportunity to re-enter the contest.
The convincing nature of the victory sends a clear signal about Beşiktaş’s objectives this season.
With strong performances being delivered alongside tangible results, confidence continues to build within the squad.
For Touré, the evening further reinforced his importance, while for the club, it represented another step forward in a competition where expectations are high.
As the Turkish Cup campaign unfolds, Beşiktaş will look to build on this assured display, drawing encouragement from both their collective performance and the continued impact of players such as El Bilal Touré, whose form suggests there may be more decisive moments still to come.
