The record fell before the hour mark. By the time Vedat Muriqi headed in Fenerbahçe's seventh from an inswinging corner, the Süper Lig's record books were already being rewritten — and Eyüpspor were simply waiting for the final whistle at Chobani Stadium.
The 8-0 demolition established the largest margin of victory in Fenerbahçe's Süper Lig history, a statement result that lifted them to 10 points and left Eyüpspor rooted to the bottom on three. The damage started inside four minutes and never relented.
Greenwood opens with audacious penalty
Mason Greenwood set the tone from the spot after VAR caught David Costa treading on an attacker's foot inside the box in the opening minute. His chipped finish down the middle was audacity disguised as routine. Three minutes later, Kerem Aktürkoğlu's low ball across the box from the left found Muriqi for a close-range finish.
Muriqi and Guendouzi turn dominance into rout
Muriqi had his second on 21 minutes, tucking home the rebound after the goalkeeper parried an initial shot. Mattéo Guendouzi added the fourth with a low strike inside the area following a through ball, and İrfan Kahveci converted Greenwood's cutback to make it 5-0 before the interval.
Second-half surge seals historic margin
Muriqi completed his hat-trick two minutes after the restart, finishing from inside the penalty area after Archibald Brown's low delivery from the left. His fourth arrived via a header from an inswinging corner on 55 minutes. Fenerbahçe had a goal disallowed in the 63rd minute and penalty appeals waved away in the 73rd, but Greenwood rounded off the scoring with a controlled finish lifted over the onrushing goalkeeper.
Fenerbahçe's 55% possession and 13 shots on target told the story of dominance, yet Eyüpspor managed six efforts on target themselves — evidence that the visitors were not entirely passive, merely overwhelmed. The margin of victory now stands as the benchmark for every future Fenerbahçe side, while Eyüpspor's campaign — one win and five defeats — grows more precarious by the week.
