Fenerbahce earn 1-1 draw with Lyon after Greenwood equaliser

Fenerbahce and Viking Stavanger both secured dramatic draws in their respective Champions League play‑off first legs on Tuesday. In Istanbul, Mason Greenwood struck a second‑half equaliser to level the score after Lyon’s Lois Openda had opened the scoring, leaving the Turkish side with a 1‑1 draw at home. Meanwhile, in Oslo, Viking rallied from a two‑goal deficit to finish 2‑2 against Dinamo Zagreb, salvaging a point after a sluggish start.

In the Turkish match, Lyon took the lead early, with Openda finding the back of the net to give the French side a 1‑0 advantage. Greenwood’s late header, however, brought Fenerbahce level, forcing a replay to be decided on aggregate. At the same time, Viking’s comeback in Oslo began after a 0‑2 deficit, with the Norwegian club scoring twice in the second half to secure a draw and a valuable point in the group stage.

Both teams now head into the second legs with the stakes higher. Fenerbahce will look to overturn the deficit at Lyon, while Viking will aim to build on the comeback to advance in the competition. The outcomes of these matches will shape the clubs’ trajectories in the Champions League group stage.
