Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi marked his first goal for Besiktas on Wednesday night. His contribution powered the Turkish giants to a 2-0 away victory against Konyaspor in the Super Lig.
The breakthrough came in the 32nd minute at Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium. Teammate Orkun Kökcü provided the assist, allowing Ndidi to calmly slot home his maiden goal since joining the club.
Despite Konyaspor controlling possession after conceding, Besiktas maintained defensive discipline. The visitors protected their narrow advantage through halftime.
Home pressure continued after the break without success. Besiktas doubled their lead midway through the second half. Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham capitalized on goalkeeper Derniz Ertas’ error, stealing the ball for an easy finish.
Abraham’s late effort was disallowed by VAR for offside. The 2-0 result remained, lifting Besiktas to sixth position with 16 points. Konyaspor dropped to ninth with 11 points.
This victory answered critics after Besiktas’ weekend loss to Genclerbirligi. It ended their two-game winless streak, boosting confidence before hosting Kasimpasa on Sunday. Konyaspor travels to Genclerbirligi seeking recovery.
