Fenerbahçe earned a rare 2-1 win in England but was still knocked out of the second-tier Europa League by Nottingham Forest in the playoffs on Thursday.
Forest entered the second leg with a healthy 3-0 lead from the opener in Istanbul — where Vítor Pereira made an impact in his first game in charge — and that proved enough to advance to the round of 16 with a 4-2 aggregate score.
