Greenwood scores in Fenerbahçe's commanding win

Fenerbahçe continues its path through the Champions League preliminaries with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in the first leg of the third qualifying round in Istanbul.

The standout goal came from Mason Greenwood, who opened his account under his new colours with an assist from Marco Asensio just before half-time (min. 45). Earlier, Talisca had put the Turkish side ahead with a powerful strike (min. 9). According to *L'Équipe*, the English striker, recently signed from Marseille, finds his footing under Ismail Kartal's management.

With this advantage before the away trip to Austria, Fenerbahçe sits in a commanding position ahead of the second leg. Should they progress, they will face the winner of the Lyon vs Sparta Prague tie in the playoffs to reach the group stage.
