Twente were 1-0 down against Manchester United in the Europa League opening round but managed to get their grip and grab a seriously big point after a 1-1 draw.Last night, the tables turned for the Dutch side as they conceded a late goal at home against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, having to settle with the same result, 1-1.Mou was saved by none other than former Twente midfielder Dusan Tadic, who chipped it past the keeper in the 71st minute to equalize and maybe even save Mourinho from possible sacking.He heard “Roma-Sevilla” and had war flashbacks pic.twitter.com/JRG2h0GWMB— J (@MourinhoPics) October 3, 2024 Things haven’t been going smoothly for Mr Special One so far in Istanbul, as they lost to their archrival Galatasaray 3-1 at home recently in the Turkish Super Lig derby.Galata, on the other hand, were doing just fine ahead of this UEL round but also disappointed their fans with a 2-2 draw at RFS.Latvian underdogs managed to bounce back from a 2-0 deficit in the first half after Dries Mertens opened the scoring for the visitors.
