Alanyaspor secured their first victory of the season with a 1-0 win over Beşiktaş at Oba Stadium during a Trendyol Süper Lig Week 2 match. Following a scoreless first half, Nuno Lima scored a header in the 73rd minute from a corner kick delivered by Hadergjonaj. The match was marked by significant controversy regarding officiating decisions made by referee Adnan Deniz Kayatepe and VAR official Bülent Birincioğlu. Beşiktaş issued a formal statement condemning the officiating, labeling it an ‘utanç vesikası’ (document of shame) for Turkish refereeing. Specific points of contention included a disallowed goal by Hyeon-gyu Oh, a foul on Dusan Vlahovic that went unaddressed, and an unpunished strike to Leandro Trossard's face by Fidan Aliti. Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano stated that his team did not deserve to lose, describing the incident involving Trossard as a ‘punch.’ The club’s grievances have since escalated; Beşiktaş Vice President Hakan Daltaban called for the dismissal of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Central Referee Committee (MHK) President, Ferhat Gündoğdu. ~~Management~~ Daltaban characterized the ~~lack of disciplinary action regarding the Trossard incident~~ officiating as a ‘football scandal’ and an ‘attack’ on the club, ~~citing systemic issues~~ demanding greater transparency in VAR communications and ~~a lack of meritocracy~~ more professional leadership within the ~~officiating~~ refereeing body. Alanyaspor manager Joao Pereira praised his team's defensive discipline and use of set pieces, expressing cautious optimism for the season ahead. The result brings Alanyaspor to 4 points, while Beşiktaş remains at 3 points.
