Fenerbahçe has started the new season in the Süper Lig with a victory. The team of trainer Vitor Pereira, who made his official debut on the bench, was too strong for PhD student Adana Demirspor on Sunday evening with minimal difference: 0-1. The only goal in Adana came just after the interruption by Mesut Özil, who was his first goal for the Turks and, in a personal sense, his first goal since February 2020, against Newcastle United.
Ozil signed a contract with the Istanbul superpower at the end of January and did not go further than eleven duels in all competitions in his first half year. He was left with a single assist. The playmaker made his first goal on Sunday at a remarkable moment. Adana Demirspor, where former AZ player Jonas Svensson, Mario Balotelli and Younès Belhanda made their debut, paid a high price for negligence at the kick-off of the second half.

A good attack from Fenerbahçe on the left allowed Irfan Can Kahveci to enter the penalty area and give Ozil a not to be missed opportunity in the goal mouth: 0-1. That was ultimately the winning goal for the top club, where Ferdi Kadioglu started in the base and was replaced by Serdar Aziz at half time. A home game against Antalyaspor awaits in a week, but first Pereira’s team will play the first Europa League match with HJK Helsinki.
