Oh Hyun-kyu was undoubtedly the standout performer. Starting as the forward in the team's 4-1-4-1 formation, he scored one goal and provided one assist. The match began with an assist. In the 17th minute of the first half, a cross from the side was slightly laid back by Oh Hyun-kyu, who was inside the penalty box, and El Bilal Toure followed up to push it in for the opening goal.

That was not the end. Oh Hyun-kyu also scored a goal himself in the 38th minute of the second half. Besiktas seized a decisive opportunity after a critical passing error by the opposing goalkeeper. Junior Olaitan, a team midfielder who intercepted the ball near the penalty box, did not attempt to shoot but instead passed to Oh Hyun-kyu, who was nearby. Oh Hyun-kyu calmly finished to record an additional goal.

With the momentum secured, Besiktas saw Orkun Kok score a third goal just two minutes later, securing a pleasant victory at home.

The Man of the Match (MOM), awarded to the player with the best performance, also went to Oh Hyun-kyu. Football statistics platform FootMob gave Oh Hyun-kyu the highest rating of 8.8. Oh Hyun-kyu was the only player to receive a rating in the high 8s, highlighting his outstanding presence.

Since transferring from Belgian club Genk to Besiktas in January, Oh Hyun-kyu has immediately established himself as a starting striker. He has recorded 6 goals and 1 assist in 10 matches in the Turkish Super League this season. In the Europa League, he has scored 3 goals, and earlier this season, while wearing the Genk jersey, he recorded 6 goals and 3 assists in 20 matches in the Belgian League.
