Rizespor Stuns Fenerbahçe in First Half Upset
Rize, Turkey – Çaykur Rizespor took a surprising 2-0 lead against Fenerbahçe in the first half of their Süper Lig match at the Çaykur Didi Stadium.
Ali Sowe opened the scoring for the home side, capitalizing on a turnover by Fred in midfield. Rizespor quickly transitioned, with Rak-Sakyi delivering a cross that Sowe slotted home, marking Rizespor’s first shot on target.
Rizespor extended their lead with a stunning free-kick from Qazim Laçi, after the referee judged that the ball struck Fred’s hand outside the penalty area. Laçi curled the free-kick past the goalkeeper Ederson to make it 2-0.
Fenerbahçe struggled to break down Rizespor’s defense despite creating numerous chances. Kerem Aktürkoğlu was a constant threat on the left wing, but Rizespor’s goalkeeper, Yahia Fofana, proved impenetrable, denying clear-cut opportunities for Jhon Duran and Fred. Fenerbahçe players will need to pick up the pace to get back in the game in the second half.
