Fenerbahce head coach José Mourinho has praised Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers following his exceptional performance in Rangers UEFA Europa League victory on Thursday night.
The 30-year-old Super Eagles striker opened the scoring just seven minutes into the match at the Ülker Stadyumu, celebrating with a cheeky taunt toward the Fenerbahce fans by cupping his ears.
This bold celebration led to a lighthearted moment with Mourinho, who seemed to enjoy the fiery spirit of the Super Eagles forward.
Dessers didn’t stop at scoring; he also assisted in Rangers’ second goal and played a crucial role in their third before being substituted in the 88th minute.
Defensively, we made mistakes. Rangers deserve the result, but it’s not over. We’re 3-1 down, but we’ll fight in the second leg.”Mourinho said.
The return leg will take place at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow next Thursday, where Rangers will look to solidify their defense and secure a spot in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.
