Beşiktaş secures solid win in Denmark

Two second-half strikes seal a confident away victory for Beşiktaş.

Beşiktaş claimed a 2-0 victory over FC Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League, with M. Rashica opening the scoring in the 70th minute before O. Kökçü converted a penalty six minutes later. The away side controlled the latter stages to secure a comfortable win. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of an away win was on the money, though the margin was a bit more decisive than expected.
