Fenerbahce played  five matches in the Europa League.....

And  They won four and draw one !

Fenerbahce under Aykut Kocaman has won their last four matches in the group....

Yesterday beating  Marseille  was cream of top for Fenerbahce and Fenerbahce fans....

Fenerbahce and Aykut Kocaman was under a lot of pressure!


Winning this match in France was very good ....

Defender Bekir Irtegun's spectacular  half scissor kick goal was something to see!

In the forty minute , Bekir Irtegun  chested down Baroni's cross and did a half scissor kick over his head  and  send the ball over Dirk Kuyt's head in to the Marseille's net....

This was the only goal in this match.....

Fenerbahce did not played superb  but managed to win this very important match in France...


With this win, Fenerbahce sit on top of  Group C with  13 points ...

Second place Monchengladbach  is with 8 points and Fenerbahce will face then in the last match...

As a result of this match, Marseille went out and Fenerbahce earned a spot in the UEFA Europa League round of 32!


Although Fenerbahce won this match, they can't play like this in the Group of 32 matches,,,,

If they do, they will be punished!


Against, Marsielle, if we look at the stats,,,,,,,

Marseille is ahead of Fenerbahce in every column!

Accurate passes,,,, Marseille 86 , Fenerbahce 79....

Possession,,,,, Marseille 52,9 , Fenerbahce  $47.1 ....

Corners.... Marseille 6 , Fenerbahce 1.....

Total passes...Marsielle 434, Fenerbahce  408....

The only difference is, Fenerbahce's goal !

 And  let's not forget that goal was scored by defender not by goal scorers!

Lastly, this was huge win for Fenerbahce in France....

With beating Marsielle in France they stayed perfect this season in the UEFA's Europa League and  they are going to round of 32, as group leader,,,,

What they said........

FATIH TERIM : “We played brilliantly and unselfishly. My players played football in a way we have been expecting for a long time.”

“We are very hopeful for second place,” he added. “There is no guarantee in football, but we will play well at Braga, who no longer have any chance.”

ALEX FERGUSON : “Parts of the game were good, but in the area which we were worried about — set pieces — we suffered.

“Other than that I was satisfied and it was a decent performance, we had some good attacking play in the first half and at that point, the only trouble they gave us was from outside the box”.
