Dusan Vlahovic scored his first goals in Turkey, opening his personal tally in the Super Lig in grand style after failing to find the back of the net in his first three appearances for Besiktas. On the third matchday of the league season, in the match against Corum, the Serbian striker really let loose, scoring a hat trick in the Black-and-Whites’ decisive victory—a game in which they were already ahead thanks to a goal by Cerny and ultimately won by a lopsided 6-2 margin.

Vlahovic started from the penalty spot, coolly converting the penalty kick awarded to Besiktas. The Serbian center forward then completed his hat trick with two strikes worthy of a true goal-scorer, capitalizing with perfect timing on passes coming in from both the right and left flanks.

It was a standout performance that earned him a standing ovation from the crowd. Italiano, Besiktas’s coach, substituted him in the 71st minute after he received a yellow card, allowing him to leave the field to the fans’ applause. Fabio Miretti, another former Juventus player, also saw action in the closing minutes.

In the other Super Lig Monday Night match, Salah found the back of the net, temporarily putting his Trabzonspor ahead. Amed Sportif then equalized at 1-1 with a goal by Sor before halftime, but Orban scored in stoppage time to seal the 2-1 victory.
