Season Finale: Beşiktaş Salvages 2-2 Draw Against Çaykur Rizespor

In the final week of the 2025-2026 Süper Lig season, Beşiktaş secured a 2-2 draw against Çaykur Rizespor at the Çaykur Didi Stadium. The home side took early control of the match following a clinical brace from Ali Sowe, who scored in the 18th minute and doubled the lead shortly before halftime. Beşiktaş successfully mounted a comeback from the two-goal deficit to secure a point in the high-stakes match, while VAR intervened to deny a late winner for Rizespor. The Beşiktaş squad faced notable absences during the finale; South Korean forward Oh Hyun-gyu was ruled out from the traveling squad due to muscle pain, raising concerns ahead of the World Cup, and defender Felix Uduokhai was omitted as his wife neared childbirth.
