in the opener of the efes cup, besiktas gave positive signals of becoming a good team with a solid second half play that worked out enough for a 3-2 victory over bundesliga third place team werder bremen, after a nearly catastrophic period lasting 25 minutes from the start of the game, which featured a few bremen chances while besiktas was not at all organized in both ends, as a result of not being able to make more than two passes, literally, lacking collectivity.
the speculation-generating guy ailton was one of the decisive players with his hot-trick against his former team, not to mention that he was fed by his teammates well in this game.
after a somehow quiet first half that ended up 0-0, whose first half belonged to the german side with the other half being in balance, besiktas changed the gear and started to control the game in the second half finding good chances that provided a 1-0 lead, and although they achieved an equalizer just a minute later by klasnic, they were able to reastablish the lead halfway through the second half and double it some minutes later while klose's game-closing goal was only to trim the gap, with his team to play for the third place against the loser of the other game, in the efes cup.
on the other hand besiktas now is waiting for their rival in the final, who will be the winner of galatasaray-borussia dortmund, and probably wishing for galatasaray for a grudge match of a recent 3-2 away loss,to win the efes cup and the money prize.
