Fenerbahce: Fenerbahce advanced to the UEFA Champions League playoff round with a 3-0 aggregate win over Sturm Graz after beating the Austrian side 1-0 away on Tuesday. Sturm Graz began strongly at Stadion Graz-Liebenau, pressing high and preventing the Turkish side from building attacks. Fenerbahce gradually settled into the match, with Anderson Talisca and Kerem Akturkoglu forcing saves from goalkeeper Daniil Khudyakov. The hosts registered their first shot on target in the 38th minute, but Fenerbahce goalkeeper Mert Gunok saved Jon Gorenc Stankovic's header.

According to Anadolu Agency, after a goalless first half, Sturm Graz again started strongly and maintained pressure during the opening 20 minutes after the break. Fenerbahce were awarded a penalty when Talisca was fouled inside the area in the 65th minute. The Brazilian converted from the spot, scoring his fourth goal in four matches. Khudyakov denied Akturkoglu in a one-on-one opportunity in the 87th minute, but Fenerbahce protected their lead to secure the victory.

The Yellow Canaries will host French club Lyon in the first leg on Tuesday, Aug. 18, before playing the return leg in France on Aug. 26 for a place in the Champions League. Sturm Graz will enter the Europa League following their elimination.
