UEFA Europa League Playoff Leg 1
We won 3-1 against Shakhter Soligorsk. What a great win for us. Hasan Ali Kaldirim scored from a brilliant corner by Bradley Dack. Then Fernandao scored for us. After that Bradley Dack scored through a sensational free kick. Maxim Bordachev scored a consolation goal for them. Either way the defense was good, our attack performed well. It was a very good performance.
Europa League Playoff Leg 2
We beat Shakhter Soligorsk 1-0. Fernandao scored a very good goal to help us win the game. This was a very good performance and a very good result too. We move on to the next game.
Koen Casteels has joined Fenerbahce from FC Red Bull Salzburg. This is our fourth signing this summer. Yes I said that I will not be making any further signings but an injury crisis has made it necessary to sign new players.
Game no.1 in the Turkish League.
We beat Alanyaspor 5-1. Fernandao scored the first goal through a header. Then Sercan Kaya scored a goal through a cross which ended up being a shot on goal. Atinc Nukan from their team scored an own goal after that. Then Mario Lemina scored off a cross by Gregory van der Wiel, after which Fernandao scored a penalty. And then Fernandao added another goal to his tally. This was a fantastic performance and a fantastic result. Hopefully we continue these good performances.
Ismail Koybasi is now injured and will be out for 11-13 days. Koen Casteels is injured and will be out for 2-3 weeks. Hopefully they recover well from their respective injuries.
