Konyaspor stunned Besiktas 1-0 at Dolmabahçe on Tuesday night, sending the visitors into the Ziraat Türkiye Kupası final after Enis Bardhi converted a stoppage-time penalty in the 90+8th minute. The home side had chances throughout, but the match stayed goalless until the very end.
Bardhi’s winner came after Kazeem Olaigbe went down in the area in the 90+4th minute following a challenge from Junior Olaitan, and the referee pointed to the spot. It was the decisive blow in a match where Besiktas had already seen El Bilal Toure strike the crossbar in the 36th minute, Hyeongyu Oh denied by Bahadır Güngördü in the 42nd, Orkun Kökçü hit the post in the 65th and Asllani miss the target in the 75th.
The first half ended 0-0, but the game never lacked pressure. Kökçü tested the Konyaspor defense early with a corner in the 15th minute that Güngördü cleared with two fists, while Olaitan’s effort in the 81st minute deflected off Adil Demirbağ and went wide. Konyaspor’s finish was the only one that counted, and the side now advances to face the winner of the Trabzonspor-Gençlerbirliği tie in the final.
The result lands hard because Besiktas were at home and had the clearer share of the moments that looked like they should decide a semifinal. It is the kind of loss that leaves a club replaying the same sequence for days: the near misses, the penalty, the late collapse. Konyaspor, meanwhile, got the one chance that mattered and turned it into a place in the final.
This semifinal sits inside a broader cup run that has already produced tight, one-goal margins and late swings, a pattern familiar to anyone who has watched Besiktas this spring, including recent league and cup meetings such as the Gaziantep and Alanyaspor fixtures. But this night belonged to Konyaspor, and Bardhi’s kick made sure of that.
