Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the winning goal 11 minutes after coming off the bench as Besiktas beat Basaksehir 2-0 in the Turkish Super Lig on Monday.
The goal came as competition for places up front on the South Korean national team intensified ahead of next month's two away friendlies, with Cho Gue-sung also scoring recently for Midtjylland.
Oh began the match on the bench and entered in the 65th minute in place of Wilfred Ndidi.
One minute after coming on, he forced a save with a right-footed long-range shot on the counterattack.
Oh broke the deadlock in the 76th minute. After Dusan Vlahovic headed the ball down near the center circle, Oh collected it quickly, held off a defender, dribbled toward goal, rounded the goalkeeper and finished into the empty net with his left foot.
It was Oh's first league goal of the season and fourth in all competitions.
He scored for the first time in three matches after recording two goals and an assist in Besiktas' 3-2 Europa League win over Hoffenheim on Oct. 16.
Junior Olaitan added a second goal in the 89th minute to seal the victory.
Oh later went into the home stands to celebrate with supporters.
The win lifted Besiktas to 18 points from six wins and three losses, leaving it fourth in the league and four points behind leader Galatasaray.
Cho scored the opener in Midtjylland's 3-2 win over Lyngby BK on Saturday, helping the Danish club extend its unbeaten league start to 12 matches.
South Korea, led by interim coach Robert Moreno of Spain, will play Saudi Arabia and Qatar in friendlies in Doha on Nov. 13 and 17.
