Fenerbahçe won 3-2 away against Trabzonspor on Saturday, in a match counting for the 22nd round of the Turkish Super League. Nélson Semedo was a starter for the visiting team. The home team opened the scoring just six minutes into the game. In a quick counter-attack, against the initial dominance of Fenerbahçe, Ernest Muçi took advantage of a long pass from Nwaiwu to chip Ederson and make it 1-0. The response came in the 15th minute, with Anderson Talisca, a former Benfica player, equalizing the score. Fenerbahçe turned the game around in the 34th minute thanks to a goal from Kerem Akturkoglu, another former player of the eagles, who, isolated behind the opposing defense, shot accurately to make it 2-1. However, the lead lasted only a short time: in the 43rd minute, Onuachu responded perfectly to a cross from Lovik coming from the left and equalized the match at two goals, a score that held until halftime. The decisive goal of the match came early in the second half. In the 48th minute, during a quick attacking play, Akturkoglu assisted Marco Asensio, who, with a first-time shot, placed the ball in the back of the net, fixing the score at 3-2. It was Fenerbahçe's third goal from just three shots on target. Thus, Nélson Semedo's team continues to chase leader Galatasaray, who has three more points than their rival.
