Decisive figure turns Fenerbahçe's way at Trabzonspor | OneFootball

Marco Asensio unlocked the game in the 34th minute with a driven cross, then struck after the restart as Fenerbahçe beat Trabzonspor 3-2.

Asensio's first major imprint arrived when he worked space on the left and whipped in a teasing delivery that Kerem Aktürkoğlu converted (34.). The Spaniard had already found room between the lines, dragging defenders to open the gap.

After the restart he decided it, arriving onto Aktürkoğlu's pass and guiding a left footed finish into the bottom right (48.). The timing of his run and cool execution restored control just as the contest threatened to swing.

He finished with three attempts, two key passes and one assist, plus three accurate crosses from 10, underlining his supply line. He is second in the Süper Lig assists chart this season with eight.

Asensio's volume from wide areas, coupled with eight successful final third passes, repeatedly stretched Trabzonspor's back line, keeping them turned and allowing Kanarya to manage territory and tempo in the decisive phases.

Kanarya host Nottingham Forest in the Europa League next. Trabzonspor visit Gaziantep in the Süper Lig.
