Beşiktaş, who defeated Midtjylland 1-0 at home in the first match of the UEFA Europa League Second Qualifying Round, managed to secure a victory in their first game of the new season.

A MATCH-WINNING SAVE FROM NUBEL

Beşiktaş's new transfer goalkeeper Alexander Nübel made a critical save in the 79th minute. Midtjylland, who struggled to create chances throughout the match, saw Billing's one-on-one shot inside the penalty area blocked by the German goalkeeper, who came out well and closed the angle to push the ball for a corner, preventing a clear goal.

"IT WAS AN IMPORTANT SAVE"

German goalkeeper Alexander Nübel spoke about his save: "It was an important save. If our opponent had scored there, finding a winning goal would have been difficult because the opponent was defending deep. We defended well as a team. We only gave away one chance."
