Fantastic night for the Turkish champions as Europe witnessed a great 2-1-vicotry against Chelsea in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Fenerbahce Sükrü Saracoglu Stadium.
Deivid's spectacular long-range effort nine minutes from time gave the canaries a UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg win against Chelsea FC that had seemed most unlikely when the same player scored an early own goal. Chelsea, who have won three ties at this stage in the past four seasons, looked in control after that opening gift. But after being under pressure for much of the first half, the knockout phase debutants responded following the break and London-born substitute Kazım Kazım turned the tie with a neat left-footed finish before Deivid's moment of redemption left next Tuesday's return at Stamford Bridge perfectly poised.
