After a scoreless first half, Luciano Spalletti’s side opened the scoring in the 60th minute thanks to top scorer Hvici Kvaratzhelia after an individual move ended with a shot at goal.

The home team’s advantage was doubled in the 77th minute after a corner kick by Elif Elmas and a wonderful header by Amir Rrahmani.
