Fenerbahce marked their return to UEFA Champions League football with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Roma, with Englishman Archie Brown scoring a fine equaliser to deny the Italian side all three points.

Brown's goal ensured Fenerbahce made a statement on their comeback to Europe's premier club competition, showing they are capable of competing at the highest level. Roma, for their part, will feel disappointed to leave without a victory.

The result hands both clubs a share of the spoils as the Champions League group stage gets underway, with Fenerbahce announcing themselves as a side not to be taken lightly in this campaign.
