The deadlock was broken in the 40th minute when Yildirim found the net to give Başakşehir the lead. Red Bull Salzburg responded nine minutes after the interval through Adam Daghim, levelling the score. The match looked destined for a draw until the 88th minute, when Başakşehir struck again to snatch victory, with Olivier Kemen booked late on for the visitors.

Başakşehir had just 47% possession and won only one corner to Salzburg's four, suggesting they were second-best territorially but ruthlessly efficient. Bertug Yildirim was the standout with an 8.12 rating and his crucial opening goal, proving the decisive influence in attack. Başakşehir now turn their attention to their next friendly against Puskás Akadémia.
