Coach Jorge Jesus handed Super Eagles defender Osayi-Samuel a spot in the starting eleven for Fenerbahce.

The former Turkish champions did not waste time in showing their quality. Joshua King gave Fenerbahce the lead in the 20th minute.

Before Hatayspor could regroup, Michy Batshuayi struck again in the 26th minute to make it 2-0 going into the break.

Second-half goals from Serdar Dursun and Gustavo Henrique completed the 4-0 rout for Fenerbahce.
