ISTANBUL - Fenerbahçe has all but booked its place in the Fortis Turkish Cup final, with a comfortable 3-1 win over Sivasspor in the semifinal first leg game on Wednesday.
Only four days after beating Sivasspor 4-2 in the Turkcell Super League game, Fenerbahçe gave no chance to the Central Anatolian team once again and got the result it wanted with goals in the second half.
Defensive midfielder Deniz Barış opened the scoring with a shot outside the box in the 66th minute, and defender Edu Dracena tipped the ball in after a heading pass by Daniel Güiza 10 minutes after. Sivasspor came one goal closer when Fabio Bilica scored from a stunning free kick in the 82nd, but Deivid De Souza scored in the 84th minute to set the final score.
"We are playing better now, we make better passing, and that shows that we are on the right way," said Fenerbahçe coach Luis Aragones after the game. "You can never tell in football, but 3-1 is safe enough for the second leg."
The return game in Sivas will be played April 23.
