Fenerbahçe lost the quarter-final ticket to Rangers in the UEFA Europa League after a penalty shootout. Mert Hakan Yandaş hitting the last penalty into the stands was one of the disappointments of the night. Mert Hakan had last scored a penalty goal while playing for Sivasspor in 2020.
Fenerbahçe, who lost the quarter-final ticket to Rangers in the UEFA Europa League through penalties, had some standout names during the night.
MISSSED THE PENALTY
One of the disappointments of the night was Mert Hakan Yandaş, who was brought on by Jose Mourinho in the 105th minute to replace Szymanski, hitting the last penalty of the shootout into the Rangers stands.
Tadic, who stepped up to take the first penalty, could not get past goalkeeper Buntland. For Rangers, Iainis Hagi's penalty was also thwarted first by İrfan Can Eğribayat and then hit the post, failing to find the net.
HAGI'S SON MISSED
Although there was hope with the penalty missed by Hagi's son, the Fenerbahçe Galatasaray legend, morale was further dampened when Fred also failed to convert his shot into a goal.
While Lawrence converted the 4th penalty for Rangers, Mert Hakan Yandaş stepped up to take the decisive penalty for Fenerbahçe. In the final moments of extra time, Yandaş, who was brought down in the penalty area and appealed for a penalty, hit the ball into the stands with his last shot, causing Fenerbahçe to bid farewell to Europe.
LAST PENALTY TAKEN 5 YEARS AGO
The penalty taken by Mert Hakan Yandaş also made waves on social media. There were some notable situations in the farewell of the yellow and navy blue team, who could not benefit from 3 penalty shots. Mert Hakan last scored a penalty goal while playing for Sivasspor in 2020.
