MATETA SCORES ON RETURN 😍 | Beșiktaş 2-2 Crystal Palace | UEFA Europa League Highlights
Mateta's first finish did not count. His next one put Crystal Palace ahead, but even that was not enough to secure the points in Istanbul.
The returning striker is the headline attraction in Palace's Beşiktaş highlights, which drew about 83,000 views in their first day, nearly thirty times the usual start for the club's short uploads. The football supplies plenty to fit into a brief watch.
After an early Mateta effort is ruled offside, Wilfred Ndidi gives Beşiktaş the lead in first-half stoppage time. Palace's equalizer initially meets the same offside verdict, only for a VAR review to award Yeremy Pino's finish from a pass across the box.
Then comes Mateta's moment: he intercepts a defensive back-pass and slots home. Junior Ishola answers with a powerful strike to leave the match level, before Ümit Akdağ receives a straight red card for a sliding challenge on Strand Larsen.
The late tackle is a talking point in the comments, alongside Mateta's finishing and the stadium crowd. Palace has also followed the main highlights with individual Pino and Mateta clips and a separate "Match Cut" from the trip.
