In Beşiktaş, Ciro Immobile, who has been the target of criticism, exploded in the match against Hatayspor, where he returned to the starting eleven. The 35-year-old striker made history by scoring in the match that ended 5-1 in favor of the black-and-whites.
HE MADE A COMEBACK
The 35-year-old Italian striker, whom the black-and-whites want to part ways with at the end of the season, scored from penalties in the 36th and 52nd minutes, turning the game around and putting his team ahead 2-1 after they were trailing 1-0.
FIRST HAT-TRICK IN BEŞİKTAŞ
For the first time since scoring 2 goals in the away match against Kayserispor on September 30, Immobile found the net again in the 59th minute, achieving his first hat-trick while wearing the Beşiktaş jersey.
RECEIVED BACKLASH BEFORE THE FIRST PENALTY
Beşiktaş won a penalty in the 35th minute when Rafa Silva fell in the penalty area. After this decision, both Rafa Silva and Ciro Immobile approached the ball. At that moment, the stands began to chant "Rafa Silva" in unison. The Portuguese player passed the ball to Immobile, and the Italian forward sent it into the net. The experienced player, who notably did not celebrate the goal, ran straight to the center circle.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı had stated in a live broadcast that Ciro Immobile might leave the team at the end of the season. Following this development, Immobile released a statement in response and later shared his golden boot. The black-and-white fans reacted strongly to the 35-year-old Italian striker's actions.
