Fenerbahçe had a dream start in Belgium and was ahead 0-3 within half an hour. The first goal came in the name of Mert Hakan Yandas, who curled the ball into the far corner from eighteen meters: 0-1.
Then Max Meyer was nicely launched by a heel from Berisha, after which the former could enter the penalty area and quietly select the corner: 0-2. Fenerbahçe’s third goal was even more beautiful. Yandas combined the penalty area and crossed for Berisha, who finished with a half bicycle kick: 0-3. With that, the loot was in for Fenerbahçe, which hit the post after the break in the person of Berisha.
