Italy international Ciro Immobile scored twice, including a goal after 21 seconds, to give Besiktas the Turkish Super Cup in a 5-0 demolition of rivals Galatasaray.
It was the dream debut for the former Lazio striker, who made the move this summer for circa €3m to begin a new chapter of his career in Turkey.
Immobile star of the show for Besiktas
In the opening minute, he pounced on a defensive error and kept his cool when clear on goal to break the deadlock at the 22nd second of the match.

The 34-year-old then stepped up to convert a penalty to make it 3-0 on the night, after Jonas Svensson had scored the second.

When Victor Nelsson saw red at the 87th minute, Besiktas ran wild with another two goals in stoppages from Rafa and Mustafa Hekimoglu.
That means Immobile already has his first piece of silverware in the Besiktas jersey and knows he contributed two goals to their historic victory.
