Fenerbahce didnt have any issues against Zimbru
Fenerbahce has qualified to Conference League 3rd qualifying round as it has won Moldavian side Zimbru with 4:0 scoreline as it has dominated once again as it did during 1st leg, getting to next stage with confident aggregate of 9:0 scoreline.
Fenerbahce did come out to both legs as strong favourite and it has shown to be one during 2nd leg in similar manner as it has been side which did control ball and didnt provide much chances during this leg even through it did take team to get to the 2nd half of the game. In similar manner as in 1st leg as it tends to be case when quality difference is being very big difference between both sides, when weaker side does concede it would be broken with game plan and would continue to be conceding back-to-back and this has been case for them, as Fenerbahce did find 3 more goals within 30 minutes. Without doubt this game should not be reference for Fenerbahce for future games but would be an important confidence boost for future games.
As been noted, Zimbru didnt have much chances on paper against Fenerbahce and it has been case during this game as it didnt provide too much pressure into opponent even through it did show some signs of organised game during 1st half. Those 2 legs has been an important experience to players for sure.
Fenerbahce did get a confident ticket to the 3rd qualifying round as it did get through Zimbru without having too much issues as it got into next stage at cruise control.
Galatasaray would be more aggressive in 2nd leg against Zalgiris.
Galatasaray would be coming out to 2nd leg game against Lithuanian champions Zalgiris following 1st leg game draw with 2:2 scoreline but despite of scoreline tie being on middle, Galatasaray will be coming out as clear favourites.
It needs to be mentioned that Galatasaray did provide pretty poor performance on 1st leg bot showing too much seriousness towards its opponents especially at defence. However, that factors such as playing at synthetic field, not having Icardi and Zaha available to game and also not having strong support behind its back did have an impact in the end of the game. Galatasaray hence would be taking this game more serious as it has set an eye for Champions League group stage and getting on this stage at surprising game would be big surprise.
Hence, Galatasaray will be aiming to provide high dominant for providing strong attacking game and look for goals.
Hatayspor makes deal with Omer Faruk Beyaz.
Hatayspor are reported to make transfer deal with Stuttgart player Omer Faruk Beyaz as he would be expected to show some important help to the side as he does have potential.
It needs to be mentioned that there has been some decline with performance at Faruk Beyaz in recent period of time and it would be an important opportunity for him to start showing once again some good performance in team which aims to send strong message in upcoming games in next season as he has been seen at Fenerbahce, where he came from of academy, to be potential into level of Ali Gurel but didnt reach to that level of performance but still being quality player.
Hence, this move could be an important step both for Hatayspor to have good season and Faruk Beyaz to get into top level.
