Besiktas beats Malmö 2-1 for a second consecutive Europa League victory

ISTANBUL (AP) — Besiktas relied on two late goals from Ernest Muçi and Semih Kiliçsoy to beat Malmö 2-1 on Wednesday and claim a second straight Europa League victory.

Muçi pushed away a Jonas Svensson cross from the right to break the deadlock in the 76th minute and Kiliçsoy scored with a low shot from the edge of the area nine minutes later.

Substitute Soren Rieks scored a goal for the visitors in stoppage time.

Besiktas surprised Lyon 1-0 away in the previous round of the second division competition.

Besiktas have six points from four games while Malmö remain on three.

All remaining matches in the fourth round of the league stage are scheduled for Thursday, when Manchester United hope to secure a first victory of their campaign against PAOK at Old Trafford.
