Sun Mar 16 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Fenerbahçe Drops Points in Goalless Draw Against Samsunspor, Mourinho Expresses Frustration
**Istanbul, Turkey** – Fenerbahçe’s hopes of winning the Trendyol Süper Lig suffered a setback on March 16th after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Samsunspor in their 28th league match. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous clear-cut chances, the Yellow Canaries failed to find the back of the net, leaving manager Jose Mourinho visibly disappointed.
“It was impossible for us to lose today,” Mourinho stated post-match. “They didn’t even manage a shot on goal. To win a match, you need to score goals. We created incredible opportunities, and missing them was harder than scoring.” He attributed some players’ subpar performance to fatigue following a grueling 120-minute match two days prior. Mourinho insisted that even a change in goalkeepers wouldn’t have altered the outcome.
Despite the dropped points, Mourinho remains confident in Fenerbahçe’s championship aspirations, stating that they still have a strong chance of winning the league. He made five changes to the starting lineup for the Samsunspor match.
The match also saw a moment of remembrance for the Çanakkale martyrs on the anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign. Elsewhere in football news, Napoli suffered a setback in their title race with only one win in their last seven matches.
