Beats Alanyaspor 1-0 in Turkish Cup Quarterfinal: Match Report
Beşiktaş secured a 1-0 victory over Alanyaspor in the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası quarterfinal on April 23, 2026, at Tüpraş Stadium in Istanbul. The match kicked off at 20:45 local time (17:45 UTC), with referee Cihan Aydın overseeing the proceedings. El-Bilal Touré scored the only goal in the 18th minute, heading home a pass from Victor Cerny after a series of passes involving Oh and Murillo.
The starting XI for Beşiktaş featured Ersin Destanoğlu in goal, with a back four of Erico Agbadou, Ridvan Yılmaz, Emirhan Topçu, and Mateo Murillo. In midfield, William Ndidi and Orkun Kökçü flanked Victor Cerny, while the attacking line comprised Oh, Olivier Ntcham, and El-Bilal Touré. Alanyaspor lined up with Ertuğrul Taşkıran in goal, defended by Necip Lima, Fatih Aksoy, Ümit Akdağ, and Fatih Hadergjonaj. Their midfield included Necati Janvier, Maestro, and Güven Yalçın, with Rodrigo Duarte, Hwang In-beom, and Ibrahim Kaya leading the attack.
Beşiktaş dominated possession and created several chances throughout the match. The goal came after a swift move down the right flank, where Oh received the ball and played it to Cerny, who then laid it off to Murillo. Murillo’s cross found Touré unmarked at the far post, and the Mali international headed the ball past Taşkıran to give Beşiktaş the lead.
Despite the early goal, Beşiktaş continued to press for a second goal to secure the advantage. Alanyaspor attempted to respond with several forays into the Beşiktaş half, but the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances against a well-organized Beşiktaş defense. The match saw several substitutions from both sides, with Beşiktaş introducing players like Cengiz Ünder and Salih Uçan in the latter stages to maintain their lead.
Referee Cihan Aydın was assisted by Ibrahim Çağlar Uyarcan and Samet Çavuş, with Turgut Doman serving as the fourth official. The match was broadcast live on ATV, as part of the broadcasting rights held by Turkuvaz Medya Grubu for the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası.
With this victory, Beşiktaş advances to the semi-finals of the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası, where they will face TÜMOSAN Konyaspor. The win adds to Beşiktaş’s impressive record in the competition, having won the trophy 11 times previously, most recently in the 2023-24 season when they defeated Trabzonspor 3-2 in the final.
The result means Beşiktaş remains in contention for a domestic double, having already secured a strong position in the Süper Lig. Their next match is scheduled against Galatasaray in the league, though the exact date has not been confirmed in the available sources.
