Just like with Minato he only needs a split second opening. His chance comes when he catches Minato in a genjutsu, even if Minato breaks it, it will be too late for him. BUT if Minato marks Shisui most likely it is over for him if he can't figure it out. The fact is, most of Shisui's abilities are unknown, while Minato's arent, and Minato's hype throughout the series is much greater than that of Shisui's, and he has lived up to that hype, unlike Shisui. Minato is much faster than he is, Shisui has to do a hand seal to use BF to move from point A to point B. He can't keep it active non-stop, Minato has no need for that with FTG, he can instantaneously teleport anywhere he wants and he has great skill with BF too, and is also a sensor.

As a Hokage, who is obviously knowledgeable about his village, and the Uchiha Clan for sure. Would make sure to avoid direct eye contact with an elite Uchiha during battle, Shisui would be on the defensive himself the whole time so might not even get a chance to put Minato in a genjutsu. If Minato can tag Shisui, or simply get close with his own BF or FTG, or a combo of the two, he can end Shisui with one direct blow from Rasengan.

I mean, Shisui obviously wasn't weak by any means, but he cannot beat Minato. His best bet is Kotamatsukami, which he doesn't have in this battle, and he would still have to make eye contact to use. If he used Susanoo, Minato can use guiding thunder to redirect his tsukumo attack either away or back at him, and summon Gamabunta to pin it down and restrain him, or simply dodge it's attacks until Shisui can no longer maintain it. So, that's why Minato would win.
