FENERBAHÇE FALLS BEHIND ON THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME

Trailing at halftime against Çaykur Rizespor, Fenerbahçe won a match after falling behind on the road for the first time this season.

Having won 12 of the 13 league matches played on the opponent's field and being the side to score the first goal in those matches, Fenerbahçe had finished its only away match where it lost points with a goalless draw.

The yellow-navy blue team kept a clean sheet in 9 of the matches played away; while they conceded goals in the Beşiktaş, Mondihome Kayserispor, and İstanbulspor matches, they had been the team to score the first goal in those encounters.

SERDAR DURSUN RETURNS WITH A GOAL

Serdar Dursun, who entered the game in the 46th minute of the Çaykur Rizespor match in place of Sebastian Szymanski, played for Fenerbahçe for the first time in 200 days.

Serdar Dursun, who started the season at Fenerbahçe and played in the Zimbru match in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers on August 1, 2023, then transferred to VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük. The goalscorer, who returned to Fenerbahçe during the mid-season transfer window, wore the yellow-navy blue jersey again after 200 days against Çaykur Rizespor.

Serdar Dursun, who scored his last goal under the Fenerbahçe jersey on April 6, 2023, in the Ziraat Turkish Cup quarter-final match against Kayserispor, experienced a goal celebration with the yellow-navy blue team after 317 days. In addition to the goal he scored in that match, Serdar Dursun also provided 2 assists, contributing to the 4-1 victory.

DZEKO REACHES 18 GOALS

Edin Dzeko, who scored the goal that put Fenerbahçe 2-1 ahead in the Çaykur Rizespor away match, increased his goal tally in the league to 18, widening the gap between himself and his rivals in the top scorer race.

The goalscorer, who scored a hat-trick in the TÜMOSAN Konyaspor match played in the 19th week of the Süper Lig, failed to contribute a goal in the 5 matches he played afterward, but found the net in the Corendon Alanyaspor match. With the Çaykur Rizespor match, Dzeko started a streak by scoring in 2 consecutive matches.
