Fenerbahce and Sturm Graz
Wednesday
Fenerbahce defeated Sturm Graz 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying-round tie. Anderson Talisca and Mason Greenwood scored as the Turkish club established a strong advantage before next Tuesday’s return match in Austria.
Fenerbahce controlled the contest through quick attacking combinations and remained defensively secure. The winner of the tie will advance to the play-off round to face either Sparta Prague or Lyon for a place in the league phase.
