Demba Ba hat-trick fires Beşiktaş past Feyenoord

A Demba Ba hat-trick sent Beşiktaş into the Champions League playoff round at the expense of former winners Feyenoord on Aug. 6.

The Black Eagles, who finished third in the Turkish Super League last season,
only qualified in a knock-on effect because champions Fenerbahçe are
serving the second of a two-year ban over domestic match-fixing in 2011.
