Vlahovic Hat-Trick Fires Beşiktaş to 6-2 rout of Çorum FK

Beşiktaş dismantled Çorum FK 6-2 at Tüpraş Stadyumu in a Super Lig encounter that showcased their attacking depth and exposed the visitors' defensive vulnerabilities across all phases of the match.

Dusan Vlahovic capped a relentless individual performance with a second-half brace, converting three of his four shots on target to finish with a 1.23 expected goals tally and a 9.6 match rating. The Serbian striker gave Çorum FK's backline no respite from the moment he stepped onto the pitch until his 71st-minute substitution.

The hosts seized control inside the opening quarter-hour. Václav Cerny opened the scoring in the 9th minute, meeting Emmanuel Agbadou's corner with a powerful header that left Çorum FK goalkeeper dimitris stagoudis rooted to his line. The assist came from a set-piece routine Beşiktaş had clearly drilled, with Agbadou delivering from the left flank into a crowded six-yard box.

Beşiktaş doubled their advantage from the penalty spot on the stroke of halftime. The referee awarded the spot kick after Çorum FK defender talat ipci handled inside the area, and Vlahovic sent stagoudis the wrong way to convert his first of the afternoon.

Çorum FK briefly threatened a revival when the second half resumed. Four half-time substitutions brought fresh energy, with Cengiz Ünder and Ermin Mahmic introduced to bolster the visitors' attacking options. The changes produced an immediate dividend in the 52nd minute when Mohamed Diomande collected Andrei Borza's pass on the edge of the box and curled a low left-footed finish into the far corner. The strike carried only 0.02 xG, underlining how clinical Çorum FK had to be to find any purchase against the run of play.

Any hope of a Çorum FK fightback evaporated within seven minutes. Vlahovic restored Beşiktaş's two-goal cushion in the 59th minute, latching onto a loose ball in the penalty area after stagoudis parried a cross. He completed his hat-trick three minutes later when a defensive mix-up between ipci and teammate ali ashhmr left the striker with a simple tap-in after another parried cross.

Ilhan Fakili extended the lead further in the 73rd minute, finishing Junior Olaïtain's cutback from six yards after Çorum FK failed to clear a Beşiktaş corner. Çorum FK pulled one back four minutes later when Mahmic headed home from a corner at the near post, but any momentum was short-lived. Amir Murillo rounded out the scoring in the 83rd minute, slotting home after Ilhan Fakili carved open the defence down the right flank.

The underlying numbers confirmed Beşiktaş's supremacy. They generated 2.86 xG to Çorum FK's 0.59, created five big chances to the visitors' one, and recorded 34 touches in the opposition box compared to just 11. Çorum FK managed only three shots on target across the entire 90 minutes and failed to register a single shot on target in the first half. Their xG from open play stood at 0.59, with all of their threat concentrated in dead-ball situations.

Beşiktaş's 4-1-4-1 shape controlled the centre of the pitch through orbital movement from their midfield four, while Çorum FK's 4-2-3-1 struggled to maintain compactness after their half-time reshuffle. The visitors won only 39 of 82 duels and committed 11 fouls as they chased the game after falling behind.

The result moves Beşiktaş into the upper reaches of the Super Lig table with a performance that balanced set-piece efficiency—Cerny's opener came from a corner with 0.6 xG—with open-play fluency that produced 1.47 xG from open play. Çorum FK face questions about their defensive organisation after conceding six goals from a combined 1.47 xG in non-penalty situations.
