No joy for Behich as Fener wins from behind
Australia's Aziz Behich was unable to celebrate a season-opening win with Bursaspor as Fenerbahce came from behind to seal a 2-1 win in Turkey's Super Lig.
Almost 50,000 fans were packed into Sukru Saracoglou Stadium for the season opener between the two sides, but that crowd was largely silenced in the 16th minute when William Troost-Ekong flung himself at the ball from a corner, his sublime diving header putting Bursaspor ahead.
It was just six minutes later when the hosts found themselves level courtesy of a penalty, Mehmet Topal bundled over in the box as he ran on to a pass.
Giuliano coolly slotted the ball home to level things up after confirmation of the spot-kick came from the video assistant referee.
Fenerbahce was ahead just before the half-hour mark when Souza prodded home from Roberto Soldado's knodded pass, the former Tottenham Hotspur man leaping well to provide the assist.
The visitors had a great chance to equalise before the break, but failed to find a shooting position, and the second half would prove no more fruitful.
Andre Ayew also wasted two simple chances for Fenerbahce, and a defensive mix-up in stoppage-time almost saw his side pay, but a referral to the video assistant referee for a possible penalty was turned down and Fener held on for the victory.
