Decisive figure seals stoppage time turnaround for Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

Sidiki Cherif settled it in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time with a right-footed finish, giving Fenerbahçe a 3-2 win over Samsunspor.

After the restart, Cherif drove the Kanarya up the pitch, drawing contact and winning a right-side free kick that pushed the hosts higher and pinned the visiting centre-backs.

He then tested Okan Kocuk with a firm strike from the centre, forcing a save as he continued to attack the space between Samsunspor's defenders.

Deep in second half stoppage time, the forward stayed alive from a corner and swept into the top left corner from the middle of the box to complete the turnaround.

Cherif's numbers underlined the influence: two attempts on target, seven touches in the box and two fouls won, reflecting a constant threat on the last line.

The Kanarya visit Fatih Karagümrük next. Samsunspor host Rayo Vallecano in the UEFA Conference League next.
