Fenerbahçe started the Champions League with a draw

The yellow-dark blue team, which started the match at Chobani Stadium cautiously, looked for positions with sudden attacks while accepting the game defensively. Unable to complete the dangerous attacks, the yellow-dark blue team was defeated by Bryan Cristante's goal in the 39th minute and finished the first half trailing 1-0.

Fenerbahçe started the second half quickly and drew the draw with Archie Brown's goal in the 48th minute. After the goal, the yellow-dark blue team made consecutive attacks and could not evaluate them, but Nathan Ake's shot hit the post in the 86th minute.

Fenerbahçe's English left back Archie Brown scored his second consecutive goal in Europe.

Brown, who shook the net of Olimpik Lyon away in the UEFA Champions League play-off rematch, managed to score the goal that brought his team a draw in the 48th minute.

Fenerbahçe's left-back Levent Mercan played in midfield against Roma.

In the absence of Marco Asensio and Matteo Guendouzi, coach İsmail Kartal chose a trio of midfielders. The experienced coach appointed Levent Mercan in the midfield instead of Bartuğ Elmaz, who was injured in the 62nd minute of the match.

Fenerbahçe's star player Romelu Lukaku competed against his former team.

The Belgian player, who played in important teams in his career, played in Rome in the 2023-24 season.
