Historic Victory Away From Home

Our representative Fenerbahçe defeated Lyon 2-1 in the UEFA Champions League play-off round second leg match, earning the right to participate in the Champions League and ending a long-standing absence.

Controlled First Half and Left Flank

Holding tactical control of the game in the first half, the yellow-navy blues did not give the opponent a chance to attack. With the effective performances of Oğuz Aydın and Brown, the left flank worked extremely efficiently.

Second Half Balance and Luck

Fenerbahçe started the second half in a balanced manner as well, failing to capitalize on a clear opportunity, while the goal found by Lyon tied the score. The clear position missed by the opponent during stoppage time was a huge stroke of luck.

Ömer Üründül's Player Analyses

While Oğuz Aydın stood out with his structure capable of holding onto the ball, Vedat Muriqi, who is not yet fully ready, displayed a tremendous fight. Kante and Guendouzi, on the other hand, undertook successful duties in the midfield.

Asensio Emphasis and Team Play

Ömer Üründül emphasized that a team should never be indexed to a single football player. In the match where Asensio, praised by everyone, did not play, the team was on the field as a unit and reached victory.
