Fenerbahçe strikes twice early against Slavia Prag

Fenerbahçe hosted Czech side Slavia Prag in matchday three of the UEFA Champions League league phase at their home ground. The Istanbul giants got off to a flying start in Kadıköy, putting themselves in control of the match in the opening minutes.

In just the 4th minute, Oğuz Aydın gave his side the lead with a brilliant strike from outside the penalty area. The goal set the tone for the match and lifted the home crowd, who saw their team move ahead almost immediately after kickoff.

Mason Greenwood doubled Fenerbahçe's advantage shortly after, in the 11th minute. The English forward first controlled the ball inside the box with his left foot before finishing with his right, extending the home side's lead over Slavia Prag.

According to reports, the scoreline following Greenwood's goal was either 2-0 or 2-1, as sources slightly differ on this detail. What remains clear, however, is that Fenerbahçe scored twice inside the first 11 minutes, giving themselves a strong foundation against the Czech visitors. The early goals underline Fenerbahçe's ambitions to make a mark in this season's Champions League campaign.
