South Korea forward Oh Hyeon-gyu delivered a standout debut in a Besiktas jersey.
Oh started in Besiktas’ 2025-2026 Turkish Super Lig Round 21 home match against Alanyaspor at Tupras Stadium in Istanbul on Sunday (Korea time), helping his team earn a 2-2 draw.
Playing as the central striker, Oh scored the equalizer in the ninth minute of the second half with an overhead kick from a loose ball in the box as Besiktas trailed 2-1. The goal stood after a VAR review. He also won a penalty kick in the 29th minute of the first half with Besiktas down 2-0, giving the hosts a chance to start their comeback.
Alanyaspor’s Hwang Ui-jo also started, setting up a “Korean derby.” Hwang assisted Guven Yalcin’s opener in the ninth minute of the first half and later delivered a sharp pass in the 16th minute that sparked the move leading to Alanyaspor’s second goal.
Oh joined Besiktas on Feb. 5 for a reported transfer fee of 14 million euros (about 24.1 billion won).
