The Belgians regain their two goal lead after Dieurmerci Ndongala poked in a third in the 81st minute.

Two minutes later Genk made it 4-1 with a strike from Jacob Piotrowski.

Vagner Love scored his second for Besiktas with four minutes remaining but it was too late for the Turks to stage a comeback.
