Turkish professional club Besiktas strongly protested the referee's biased decision to disallow Oh Hyun-gyu (25)'s goal, calling it a "shameful history."

On the 24th (Korean time), Besiktas suffered a 0-1 defeat in an away match against Alanyaspor in Round 2 of the 2026–2027 Super Lig at Alanya Oba Stadium, conceding a header winning goal from Nuno Lima in the 28th minute of the second half.

Despite dominating possession with a 65-35 split and recording 14 shots to 9 for the opponent, Besiktas suffered its first official defeat of the season.

Oh Hyun-gyu, making his league debut as a starter, connected a cross with a header in the 19th minute of the first half to find the back of the net. However, referee Adnan Deniz Kayatepe ruled that Oh had pulled the jersey of opposing defender Piyad Aliti during the challenge, called a foul, and disallowed the goal.

After the match, Besiktas issued an official statement condemning the referees. The club argued that a legitimate goal was invalidated due to exaggerated actions by the opposing players.

The club also pointed out that both the referee and VAR official Bulent Birincioglu remained silent despite Leandro Trossard being struck in the face and Dusan Vlahovic being roughly pushed down inside the penalty box. Besiktas further criticized Kayatepe, referencing a past Turkish FA Cup refereeing scandal, and strongly rejected any future match assignments for this officiating team.

Oh Hyun-gyu was substituted off in the 12th minute of the second half to make way for star striker Vlahovic, recently acquired from Juventus, signaling his entry into serious competition for a starting forward position. Vlahovic played for 33 minutes, recording two shots on target after entering the match.

Hwang Ui-jo of the opposing team Alanyaspor started as a left winger and played until the 20th minute of the second half.
