The curse of those fixed matches must be catching up with Fenerbahce, fortunately for football as a whole.
(I'm talking, of course, about the matches for which they got in trouble with UEFA. ...And who knows if there were more they didn't get in trouble for?)
On the first matchday of the Turkish Super Lig, the team from the Asian part of Istanbul had to play a newly-promoted team.
Konyaspor had succeeded in being promoted to the first league, after finishing sixth (!) in the second. They achieved their promotion via a play-off system between places 4-7. (It should be mentioned that the team that finished in 3rd, in the Turkish TFF First League last year, was excluded from play-offs.)
Fenerbahce took a 2-0 lead early in the first half, and saw their goalkeeper save a penalty, as well, at 2-0.
But the humiliation still came.
The minnows managed to score 3 goals in 11 minutes (between the 76th and the 87th), and sunk the ambitious guests.
What a start for the Turkish 2013-2014 season!
