In an exhilarating UEFA Champions League match, Edin Dzeko shone bright for Fenerbahce, leading his team to a 4-3 victory over Lugano in the first leg of the second qualifying round.

The drama unfolded quickly, as Ayman El Wafi put Lugano on the scoreboard first, giving them an early advantage. However, Dzeko wasn’t about to let that slide. The Fenerbahce forward responded with two goals, turning the game around right before and after halftime.

Lugano managed to level the playing field thanks to Uran Bislimi, who found the net to make it 2-2. But Dzeko wasn’t done yet; he completed his impressive hat-trick soon after, putting Fenerbahce ahead again.

As the match progressed, Ferdi Kadioglu added another goal for Fenerbahce, making it 4-2 with just 17 minutes remaining. Despite the lead, Lugano showed resilience and launched a last-minute attack that resulted in a goal from Milton Valenzuela in the fourth minute of stoppage time, narrowing the score to 4-3.

This hard-fought win marks Jose Mourinho‘s first competitive victory as the head coach of Fenerbahce, and they will be taking their narrow lead back to Istanbul for the return leg.
