Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s Fenerbah\u00e7e suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Rangers in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 tie. The Scottish side dominated the match at Ibrox, putting themselves in a strong position for the return leg in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
Rangers took control early on, pressing high and exploiting gaps in Fenerbah\u00e7e\u2019s defense. Their attacking intent paid off as they opened the scoring in the first half, with the home side dictating the tempo. Mourinho\u2019s team struggled to impose themselves, failing to control midfield battles and looking shaky at the back.<\/p>\n
