Fenerbahçe delivered a statement victory at the Chobani Stadium, dismantling Eyüpspor 8-0 in a Super Lig fixture that matched the scoreline with underlying dominance. The hosts generated 5.06 expected goals against 0.79, peppered 24 shots (13 on target) and carved out seven big chances to the visitors' one. Vedat Muriqi led the onslaught with four goals — two in each half — while Mason Greenwood contributed a brace and two assists in a performance that saw Fenerbahçe's 4-2-3-1 overwhelm Eyüpspor's 4-1-4-1 from the opening whistle.
The rout began inside five minutes when Greenwood converted a penalty. Two minutes later Muriqi opened his account, finishing a right-footed effort after Kerem Aktürkoglu's pass. The Kosovo striker doubled his tally in the 21st minute, this time assisted by Greenwood, and the pattern was set: Fenerbahçe's front three interchanged fluidly, dragging Eyüpspor's midfield line out of shape and exploiting the space behind.

Mattéo Guendouzi added a fourth in the 38th minute, a low right-foot strike from the edge of the box set up by İrfan Kahveci. On the stroke of half-time Kahveci himself got on the scoresheet, latching onto a Greenwood through-ball on the counter to make it 5-0. The first-half xG read 3.00-0.48; Fenerbahçe had 12 shots to Eyüpspor's nine but the quality gap was stark — seven shots on target versus four, and three big chances to one. Possession was only 53-47, yet the hosts completed 210 passes at 91% accuracy and worked 86 passes in the opposition half.
Set-piece dominance
Eyüpspor's structure did not improve after the break. Fenerbahçe's second goal of the second half came from a corner in the 47th minute, Archie Brown delivering for Muriqi to head home his third. The fourth followed the same script eight minutes later: Kahveci's corner found Muriqi unmarked for a header that completed his quadruple and took his personal xG to 2.17. Set pieces contributed 0.78 xG overall, but the two corners that produced goals were emblematic of Eyüpspor's inability to cope with aerial delivery — their zonal assignments broke down repeatedly, and Muriqi attacked the space between the first and second posts with precision.
Second-half control
Greenwood's second, a left-footed finish on the break in the 80th minute after Oğuz Aydın's pass, put the gloss on a night where Fenerbahçe's xG open play (3.49) dwarfed Eyüpspor's (0.38). The visitors managed 17 shots across 90 minutes but only six on target, and their 0.79 xG was inflated by a handful of speculative efforts from distance. Fenerbahçe's 44 touches in the opposition box to 17 told the territorial story; the hosts won 39 duels to 31 and completed 427 passes at 91%.
The result lifts Fenerbahçe up the table and serves as a reminder of their attacking depth: five different scorers, three players with multiple goal contributions, and a system that transitions from controlled possession to vertical strikes in seconds. Eyüpspor, for their part, must regroup quickly — their 4-1-4-1 offered neither defensive solidity nor a counter-attacking outlet, and the 8-0 scoreline reflects a mismatch in class as much as a bad night.
