Fenerbahçe suffered a painful defeat in the Süper Lig on Monday evening. The team of coach Vítor Pereira visited low-flyer Gaziantepspor 3-2 and failed to take over third place from Hatayspor. Mesut Özil scored a goal and an assist, but saw the home side take the game in the second half. Gaziantepspor climbs from sixteenth to thirteenth place with the victory.

Fenerbahçe, which was linked to Slavia Prague during the draw of the Conference League on Monday, quickly fell behind on a visit to Gaziantepspor. After eight minutes of play, Luiz Gustavo handed the ball in to João Figueiredo, who did not hesitate and suddenly took out from 43.3 meters. Never before has there been such a great distance in the Turkish league this season. Fenerbahçe tied the score after half an hour of play, when Ozil rounded off on a pass from Bright Osayi-Samuel: 1-1.

After the break, the home team took the game for the second time after a close penalty by Alexandru Maxim. The visitors came through a beautiful goal from Miha Zajc, who hit the ball in the top left corner for a second time, but had to bend in the final phase. Figueiredo decided the game with his second of the evening fifteen minutes before the end. The attacker hit on a pass from Furkan Soyalp and prevented Fenerbahçe from coming nine points from leader Trabzonspor.
