The loss was a result of a 44th minute goal by Gedson Fernandes. This defeat has made it even more challenging for Fenerbahce to catch up with Galatasaray, their arch-rivals in the league.

Mourinho, who has had disagreements with referees in Turkey, believes that the outcome of the league was predetermined. He thinks that the games Fenerbahce lost at home were crucial and that some of the decisions made by referees and the VAR system affected the team's performance.

Mourinho expressed his frustration with the situation, saying that he has no control over the decisions made by referees and that the outcome of the league was decided before it even started.
