Introduced in the 65th minute as Beşiktaş's tactical gamble with the match locked in a 0-0 deadlock, Oh immediately energized the pitch by relentlessly pressing the opponent's goal.

Just 11 minutes later, he struck the opening and decisive goal.

Quickly pouncing on a header from 190 cm tall striker Vlahović, Oh eluded opposing defenders and the goalkeeper before finishing with his left foot.

Scoring his fourth goal of the season and his long-awaited first goal in the regular league—where he has mostly been utilized as a "joker"—Oh shared a warm embrace in celebration with the competitor who had pushed him to the bench.

Manager Italiano praised him, saying, "Oh Hyeon-gyu is a true professional," after confirming his potential to coexist alongside Vlahović. Oh, who spearheaded a 2-0 victory, mingled with home fans to soak in the joy and promised an even greater leap forward.

Park Seung-su, who previously sparked controversy after winning an Asian Games gold medal and posting a photo celebrating his military discharge cap, scored the equalizer in a match for the under-21 team against local rivals Sunderland, leading Newcastle to a comeback victory.
