At 01:00 Beijing time on February 15, the 25th round of the Turkish Super League, Teixeira opened the record, Balotelli's goal was cancelled, Akyadin's 92-minute draw was blown, and finally Besiktas drew 1-1 away to Demir Sport.
Former Chinese Super League champion Teixeira, 32, left Jiangsu to join Besiktas on a free basis. Due to injury and condition, Teixeira scored only two goals in the first 22 rounds. However, he has scored two goals in three consecutive starts recently, and his form has returned. Teixeira scored both of those goals, but unfortunately failed to lead the team to all three points in the end, and his Besiktas suffered a 3-game draw.
After this round, Besiktas ranked 8th in the Turkish Super League, and still 10 points behind Konya Sports, the second place in the Turkish Super League, after one more game, basically withdrew from the Competition for the Champions League. In contrast, Balotelli's promotion to Madimir Sport is in third place in the league.
After the first-half goal was blown, the 31-year-old Balotelli missed four consecutive rounds. So far, Balotelli has scored 10 goals in 21 appearances in the Turkish Super League this season.

In the 42nd minute, Balotelli scored in the bottom left corner with a 1V2 shot from outside the box, but the goal was ruled invalid because teammate Vargas fouled first.
