[Oh Hyeon-gyu / Besiktas Forward: (Are you going to score 1 goal or 2 goals?) 2 goals]

Oh Hyeon-gyu, who predicted before the match that he would score two goals, signaled the start of his "one-man show" by picking up an assist in the away Europa League match against Hoffenheim.

In the 15th minute of the second half, his teammate finished off a slightly redirected ball, laying the groundwork for the opening goal.

Then, in the 28th minute of the second half with the score tied 1-1, he blew open the opponent's goal.

Timing his run behind the defensive line to match a teammate's through ball, he pierced the corner of the net with a razor-sharp shot to break the tie.

Not stopping there, six minutes later, when a cross came in from the right flank, he threw his entire body at the ball to keep his pre-match "multi-goal promise."

Slamming in his second and third goals of the season just two months after his first, Oh took off his jersey and roared in celebration. With Besiktas winning 3-2, the value of every goal he was directly involved in shone even brighter.

Putting aside the sorrow of being pushed to the bench following the arrival of top Serbian striker Vlahovic last summer, he savored the joy with away fans.

[Oh Hyeon-gyu / Besiktas Forward: I am truly happy to score today. If the coach trusts me and the fans trust me, I can show my true abilities.]

Manager Italiano, who started Oh for the first time in four matches, expressed joy, saying, "He has been rewarded for his hard work and diligent training," while local media also showered him with praise, calling it the "Oh Hyeon-gyu show."
