Beşiktaş opened their UEFA Europa League campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Olympique Marseille at Tüpraş Stadium on Wednesday night. The home side took an early lead through İlhan Fakılı in the 15th minute before Marseille equalised via Keyliane Abdallah just before half-time.

Beşiktaş seized control after the break, scoring three unanswered goals in 25 minutes. Václav Černý restored the lead in the 56th minute, Amir Murillo headed in a corner three minutes later, and substitute Ernest Poku sealed the win in the 81st minute.

“The sun will rise again. That day we will celebrate this together.”

— Timothy Weah, Marseille forward

Captain Orkun Kökçü played through a toe fracture diagnosed before the match, providing assists for both the second and third goals. Manager Vincenzo Italiano praised the fans and demanded more points to advance from the group.

Marseille arrived in Istanbul after a domestic defeat to Rennes, with forward Timothy Weah acknowledging Beşiktaş's quality and the hostile atmosphere awaiting them. The French side offered little threat after the interval.

Beşiktaş now turn their attention to a Matchday 2 trip to Hoffenheim on 15 October, while Marseille host Olympiacos seeking their first points.
