Besiktas did get confident win against KF Tirana
Besiktas did come out to the Conference League 2nd qualifying round 1st leg with a win at home ground with 3:1 scoreline and did get an advantage for 3rd qualifying round as it did control game for 90 minutes with help of its supporters.
Besiktas did show controllable game since start of the game and has been getting closer to the goal for 90 minutes but still didnt possibly as much pressure towards Tirana goal as been expected and there were signs that some players were not ready to compete at higher level which could be described for converting on 3 goals when looking into level of the opponent and also has conceded 1 goal and also letting them to get some chances. Still, Besiktas has been side which did provide pressure towards Tirana and has led them to get higher number of the chances with using some mistakes of defence at the opponent side and hence opponent didnt provide much strong response.
It needs to be mentioned that KF Tirana did come out with aiming to show its best performance and to some extend it has managed to do so but did look slow at defence and this could be an area where it could be working on during 2nd game.
Hence, Besiktas did get an advantage and did show some good performance but could be showing even better game to improve its performance for 2nd leg but still did provide some positive view.
Adana Demirspor got good result at away game in Romania
Adana Demirspor as been noted on our blog entries since draw has been made has got most difficult opponent at Conference League but did get very good outline at away game with 1:1 goal as Stambouli goal on 2nd half did led side to keep it chances for title alive.
Adana Demirspor did come out to the game as underdogs due of inexperience at European competitions but it does have lots of players at its disposal which did play at European tournament on previous cups and has shown game closer to this system and they tried to show that during 1st game of Patrick Kluivert being appoint to the opposition. One of the weak parts from them during game has been for conceding goal too early and did provide some worry but side has managed to show strong reaction and not being too much affected as it improved as game progressed and did find an important goal with Stambouli which could cost them to get into advantage for 2nd leg.
CFR Cluj it needs to be mentioned that start game at high note with finding goal as early as 6th minute and did manage to provide pressure as game progressed but it did lose control of the game and later upper hand of the tie.
Adana Demirspor did show for sure strong performance and confident performance which ended up for them as good away result in the end of the day.
Fenerbahce got confident and easy win against Zimbru
Fenerbahce has got an important and confident win against Moldavian side Zimbru with 5:0 scoreline as it has dominated game for 90 minutes as two early goals from Ferdi Kadioglu and Ryan Kent has led side to get confident win.
What was specifically important and pleasant to see from Fenerbahce supporters is great start of the newcomers as Ryan Kent, Tadic, Edin Dzeko and Szechesny has shown strong and confident performance during 90 minutes. It needs to be mentioned that taking account level of Zimbru, to all of their respect, this game should not be a great reference point as Fenerbahce player did state themselves that there is lots of places where it needs to improve but its been important morally to start this game in such manner and dominate game for 90 minutes.
Fenerbahce would now come out to formality game in 2nd leg in Moldavia and likely play with an alternative squad for upcoming season.
