Fenerbahce Stun Feyenoord To Move Into UEFA Champions League Qualifying Play-Offs
Last Updated: Fenerbahce, who had lost 2-1 to Feyenoord last week, rallied to post a 5-2 second leg triumph over Robin van Persie's side to advance at the cost of the Dutch team. Turkish side Fenerbahce fought hard to post a come-from-behind win over Dutch club Feyenoord on Wednesday to advance to the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Playoffs with a 6-4 win on aggregate. Fenerbahce, who had lost 2-1 to Feyenoord last week, turned the tie on its head in the second leg with a 5-2 triumph over Robin van Persie's side to advance at the cost of the Dutch team. Feyenoord defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe scored the first of his two goals for the Dutch team after 41 minutes. However, Mourinho's squad responded with goals from Archie Brown and Jhon Duran just before halftime, bringing the hosts back into contention. Fred, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Talisca each netted in an exciting second half, securing a 5-2 victory for the night. Next week, Fenerbahce will host Benfica in the first leg of the playoff round with a spot in the 36-team league phase up for grabs. In Lisbon, Benfica triumphed over Nice with a 2-0 win on the night, courtesy of goals from Norwegian duo Fredrik Aursnes and Andreas Schjelderup, resulting in a 4-0 aggregate score. Rangers progressed past Czech team Viktoria Plzen with a 4-2 aggregate win and will next face Club Brugge, who reached the Champions League last 16 last season. Rangers had won 3-0 at Ibrox the previous week but suffered a 2-1 defeat on Tuesday, with Lyall Cameron scoring his first goal for the club as a consolation. Rangers manager Russell Martin said, '"We had some really good moments, but disappointed how many shots we gave them, how many chances we gave them," following the vitory. 'So, again, another brilliant bit of learning and we're through to the last qualifying round for the Champions League, but I am annoyed. 'That wasn't enough. There's too many scary moments," he added. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 09:34 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Dutchman Poku joins Bayer Leverkusen as Ten Hag plans rebuild after Alonso exit
Bayer Leverkusen signed speedy young winger Ernest Poku from AZ Alkmaar on Tuesday to strengthen its Dutch connection under new coach Erik ten Hag. Poku can play on both wings, and his pace attracted attention in the Europa League last season. Born in Germany, he reached the semifinals of the European under-21 championship with the Netherlands. The 21-year-old arrives on a five-year contract. Leverkusen announced his signing on social media with an image of the character Lightning McQueen from the movie 'Cars' and a compilation of clips of Poku dribbling past defenders. 'I leave defenders behind for breakfast,' Poku said in the video. 'Faster than fast. Quicker than quick. I am Ernest Poku.' ALSO READ: PSG transfer news — Zabarnyi follows Huijsen out of Bournemouth, joins UCL champion in deal till 2030 He's already played four games in the 2025-26 season, scoring one goal and setting up two more, thanks to Alkmaar's involvement in Europa Conference League qualifying and the start of the Dutch league last week. Ahead of Ten Hag's first competitive game as Leverkusen coach in the German Cup on Friday, Poku joins Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken as a new signing. The club has also brought in American forward Malik Tillman from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. It's part of a broader rebuild after coach Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid and players from Leverkusen's title-winning 2023-24 season left, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka. The scale of the changes led striker Patrik Schick to say last month that he didn't expect Leverkusen to be able to fight for the Bundesliga title without significant signings.
