In the early morning of the 7th, the first round of the third round of the UEFA Europa League playoffs was in full swing, and the team of Feirenbach, coached by the "King of Inches" Molenu, unfortunately conceded the second goal in the stoppage time, and lost to Lille by a score of 1-2 on the road. Nevertheless, Molenu was still in high spirits, saying that the opponent's "park the bus" defense strategy in the second round needs to be improved, and at the same time, he was full of confidence that his team would turn defeat into victory and advance to the next round.
Since Moleno took over the reins of Fehrenbach this season, the team has started well and "doubled" Swiss team Lugano in the Europa League. However, the team encountered an unprecedented challenge against Lille, the strongest team in Ligue 1. In the first 12 minutes of the match, a goal by Osterhausen put Fehrenbach in a passive position.
But the Turkish team was not discouraged and defended aggressively with few counter-attacks as Efin Kavis tied the game at 1-1 with a penalty kick in the 79th minute. It was revealed that Fehrenbach won by one goal in extra time thanks to a substitute's goal against Lille flanker Shi Gohua.
This was Moleno's third official match in charge of Feirenbach, and the team suffered their first defeat. After the match, the Portuguese manager was not discouraged, but encouraged his team to continue to work hard in the second leg of the match next midweek, and expressed his concern about Lille's strength, believing that it would be difficult for Feirenbach to turn around once their opponents locked up a win.
