Alianza FC Overview

Salih Özcan’s star had faded noticeably at Borussia Dortmund, where the defensive midfielder was a perennial substitute. In the summer, he moved to Besiktas – and promptly became a regular starter in Istanbul.

Crystal Palace fought back from a half-time deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against Besiktas in a high-intensity Europa League clash at the Tupras Stadium. Second-half goals from Yeremi Pino and Jean-Philippe Mateta briefly put the Eagles ahead before a late equaliser shared the spoils.
