Bright Osayi-Samuel, Super Eagles defender was at his best as Fenerbahçe SK crashed out of Europe after losing 2-3 to Olympiacos on penalty in one of the 2023/24 UEFA Europa Conference League games played on Thursday, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Osayi who was in action from start to finish in the first leg played in Greece last week maintained his spot in the team on Thursday, performing his defensive duties well while also contributing to attacks.
Losing the first leg 2-1 in Greece last week, Fenerbahçe won the second leg in Turkey 1-0 thanks to ?rfan Kahveci 11th minutes goal. With the scores levelled after the regulation and extra-time, Fenerbahçe missed three of their shootout as Olympiacos scored three of theirs to progress to the semifinal.
With European action now out of the way for the season, Osayi's attention will noew be fully focused on the league where they stand a chance of lifting the top prize as they sit just two points behind Galatasaray S.K who occupies the top place with six games left.
They visit Sivasspor on Monday before hosting Be?ikta? following Saturday.
