MOURINHO ON THE BENCH AFTER TWO MATCHES
Fenerbahçe's experienced coach Jose Mourinho returned to the bench after two matches. The seasoned coach had missed the Göztepe match due to a yellow card suspension. Mourinho was also unable to take his place on the bench in the Midtjylland match in the 8th week of the UEFA Europa League due to his suspension.
CARLOS AND SKRINIAR IN THE STARTING XI
Fenerbahçe's new signings Diego Carlos and Milan Skriniar started in the starting eleven against Çaykur Rizespor, while Anderson Talisca was on the bench. Diego Carlos, who came on as a substitute in the Göztepe match, started in the first eleven for the first time. Milan Skriniar also started in the first eleven, wearing the yellow-navy jersey for the first time.
ALI SOWE OPENED THE SCORING EARLY
Çaykur Rizespor took the lead 1-0 in the 7th minute of the match. In a Rizespor attack from the left wing, Ali Sowe met the ball at the edge of the box with a ground pass from Ibrahim Olawoyin. Sowe sent a placed shot to the far corner, finding the net and putting his team ahead 1-0.
SOWE STEPPED UP ONCE AGAIN
Ali Sowe was on the scene again just 6 minutes after his first goal. In a pass from Ghezzal to the penalty area from the right wing, Akintola laid the ball back, and Sowe's shot deflected off the defense and found the net. With this goal, the experienced forward scored his second goal and increased the lead to 2.
SKRINIAR'S GOAL WAS DISALLOWED BY VAR
Fenerbahçe began to take control of the game for the first time after the 25th minute. Especially looking for goals with Kostic's crosses from the left wing, Fenerbahçe found the net with Skriniar from a set piece in the 42nd minute, but this goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
FENERBAHÇE WON A PENALTY
In the dying moments of the first half, Fenerbahçe increased their pressure significantly, and in stoppage time, they appealed for a penalty after Olawoyin's intervention on Skriniar in the penalty area. Referee Burak Pakkan, who watched the incident upon VAR's warning, pointed to the penalty spot after the review.
RİZESPOR WAS LEFT WITH 10 MEN
Olawoyin, who caused the penalty and received a yellow card for attempting to deceive the referee in the 21st minute, was sent off with a second yellow card after the penalty incident, leaving his team with 10 players.
DZEKO REDUCED THE DEFICIT TO 1
Edin Dzeko, who took the penalty, sent the ball to different corners, beating goalkeeper Tarık and found the net. This goal, which reduced the deficit to 1 for the yellow-navy team, also determined the score of the first half, ending with Çaykur Rizespor leading 2-1.
TALISCA MADE HIS DEBUT
New signing Anderson Talisca, who started the match on the bench for Fenerbahçe, came on for Levent Mercan in the 61st minute, wearing the yellow-navy jersey for the first time. Another new signing, Ognjen Mimovic, was not included in the match squad as his license had not yet been issued.
FENERBAHÇE HIT THE POSTS
Fenerbahçe significantly increased their pressure in the last 20 minutes. Fenerbahçe, which trapped Rizespor in their penalty area, hit the post three times between the 56th and 76th minutes, twice with Dzeko and once with Oğuz Aydın. In the 72nd minute, Tarık Çetin denied a corner kick from En-Nesyri taken from inside the six-yard box. Additionally, Anderson Talisca's long-range shot hit the crossbar and went out in the 85th minute.
GHEZZAL WAS SENT OFF
In Çaykur Rizespor, Rachid Ghezzal, who was wanted to be substituted in the 77th minute, received a yellow card for his slow movements. Later, the Algerian player, who applauded referee Burak Pakkan while leaving the field, received a red card for a second yellow and left his team with 9 players.
DZEKO EQUALIZED THE SCORE
Fenerbahçe, which had effectively besieged the Çaykur Rizespor goal and hit the posts repeatedly, found the goal they were looking for in the 80th minute. In a cross into the box, Talisca's shot deflected off Tarık. Dzeko finished the rebound, and Fenerbahçe equalized.
THE WINNING GOAL CAME FROM EN-NESYRI
Fenerbahçe found the winning goal in the final moments of the match.
