Fenerbahçe's Quarter-Final Hopes Rest on the Istanbul Return Leg
Fenerbahçe face Real Sociedad in Istanbul in the return leg of the UEFA Women's Champions League round of 16. Having lost the first leg by 2 goals, the yellow-navy blues will advance if they beat their opponents by at least 3 goals.
Last season, the yellow-navy blues won the Women's Football Super League for the first time in their history. Their European campaign began in the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifiers. After reaching the final of a mini-tournament in Belgium, Fenerbahçe were eliminated on penalties by OH Leuven and continued their journey in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
In the second qualifying round, Fenerbahçe beat Belarusian side Minsk in both legs. In the round of 16, they were drawn against Spanish club Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad came into the Champions League through the qualifiers and won the first leg in Spain 2-0 at home.
Today in Istanbul, Fenerbahçe face a tough challenge in the return leg. The yellow-navy blues will advance if they beat their opponents by at least 3 goals. If they win by 2 goals, the match will go to extra time.
The winner of this tie will face the winner of the quarter-final between PSV Eindhoven and Eintracht Frankfurt.
