Praise poured in from local Turkish media for O Hyeon-gyu (25), who recorded one goal and one assist.

On the 24th (Korea time), Besiktas secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Alanyaspor in the quarterfinals of the "2025-2026 Turkish Cup (FA Cup)" held at Besiktas Park in Istanbul, Turkey.

With this win, Besiktas will compete for a spot in the final next month against Konyaspor. The four teams that reached the semifinals are these two clubs, Genclerbirligi, and Trabzonspor.

Starting as the lone striker, O Hyeon-gyu set up the opening goal in the 17th minute of the first half. He provided a cross from the right flank, which El Bilal Toure finished with a right-footed shot.

In the final moments of the second half, he finally scored. In the 38th minute of the second half, Junior Olaitan intercepted the goalkeeper's pass inside the opponent's penalty box and passed the ball to O Hyeon-gyu on the left. O Hyeon-gyu calmly pushed the ball into the empty net with his right foot.

Having taken control, Besiktas sealed the match with a third goal by Orkun Kokcu in the 40th minute of the second half.

After playing the full 90 minutes, O Hyeon-gyu was substituted for Salih Ucan and received applause from the home fans. Recognized for his outstanding performance with one goal and one assist, O Hyeon-gyu was named the Match of the Match (MOM).

O Hyeon-gyu, who joined Besiktas from Ghent during the winter transfer window, has recorded 8 goals and 3 assists in 12 official matches so far.

Meanwhile, South Korean national team striker Hwang Ui-jo, who started for Alanyaspor, played for 75 minutes but failed to register any attacking points.
