Beşiktaş Eliminated from Turkish Cup After Late Drama Against Konyaspor

Beşiktaş JK's journey in the 2025-2026 Turkish Cup concluded in the semifinals following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Konyaspor on May 6. The match, held in Istanbul, remained goalless until Konyaspor secured their victory and a spot in the final through a late penalty converted in stoppage time (90+8). Despite a standout individual performance from Beşiktaş midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, the team could not overcome the deficit.

Following the match, South Korean striker Oh Hyeon-gyu issued a public apology to the fans, describing the elimination as one of his toughest nights and vowing to improve. The unexpected exit also triggered significant internal turbulence. Reports indicated that head coach Sergen Yalçın considered resigning in the locker room post-match, but was ultimately persuaded to remain in his position by club executive Serdal Adalı.
