The captain of the Ecuadorian team entered from the bench and served his teammate Dimitris Pelkas against Yeni Malatyaspor (2-0).
Enner Valencia continues to add minutes on the court after an injury that separated the Ecuadorian forward for seven weeks. The captain of the Tricolor (32 years old) entered this Sunday from the bench and assisted his teammate Dimitris Pelkas in the 2-0 victory of Fenerbahçe against Yeni Malatyaspor, a result that allows the Istanbul team to continue their clear rise in the Turkish Super League standings.
The 73rd minute was played at Sukru Saracoglu, the Fenerbahçe stadium, when Valencia received the ball a little further than the midfield line, he drove a few meters and, before the marking of the visiting rear, yielded to Pelkas, who with a dominated ball entered the rival area, deceived a defender and defined a corner.
The Ecuadorian attacker had only five minutes on the field, since he entered 68 to replace Serdar Dursun.
Fenerbahçe’s first goal was scored by Czech full-back Filip Novak in the 10th minute.
With the three points, the Valencia team, which dissociated itself from Portuguese technical director Vítor Pereira six days ago, climbed to fourth place in the Turkish championship. Record 32 points in 19 days.
On December 20, against Besiktas, the captain of La Tri reappeared on the pitch after a seven-week absence, a period in which he overcame an injury he had suffered since October.
Previously, the all-time top scorer of the National Team (34 goals) had played for the last time on October 30, when his team fell on the field of Konyaspor (2-1). Days later, Fenerbahçe reported the Ecuadorian’s loss: “A ligament injury was detected in Enner Valencia’s left ankle and conservative treatment was considered appropriate.”
The Istanbul club signed the Emerald striker in August 2020 for three years. (D)
