FCSB stage stunning late comeback to overturn two-goal deficit and beat Feyenoord...
FCSB produced a stirring late turnaround to beat Feyenoord 4-3 at Bucharest in the UEFA Europa League (UEL), marking an end to their four-game losing run in the competition.
After a cagey start to the match, the hosts took the lead with the very first attempt of the game after 11 minutes played. An excellent corner from Montenegro international Risto Radunovic was met by the head of Siyabonga Ngezana, whose effort flew into the top corner to send the home crowd wild.
The visitors' first real chance to level the game came just before the half-hour mark, but Casper Tengstedt's effort sailed well off target, despite having a great opportunity inside the box.
Feyenoord kept pushing and were initially given a penalty when it looked like Baba Alhassan had fouled Tengstedt. However, the decision was overturned after the referee checked the VAR, leaving the Rotterdam side stunned.
Feyenoord deservedly equalized just before halftime, with Casper Tengstedt scoring a brilliant header from a corner kick, beating Stefan Tarnovanu.
Things quickly went downhill for FCSB, as they failed to deal with a Luciano Valente cross, allowing Quinten Timber to score at the near post and give Feyenoord the lead right before halftime.
Feyenoord were slow to start but bounced back strongly after conceding the early goal. FCSB, on the other hand, failed to build on their initial momentum.
The second half started with Feyenoord still dominating, as FCSB struggled to contain their opponents' attacking wave.

The Eredivisie side soon extended their lead just six minutes after the restart, as young Slovakia international Leo Sauer latched onto a smart through ball from Jordan Bos, before confidently slotting the ball past Tarnovanu to make it 3-1.
FCSB refused to give up, and got a lifeline when substitute Mihai Toma headed Juri Cisotti's cross into the net, despite Timon Wellenreuther's effort to block it.
The hosts then stunned the away supporters with a dramatic equalizer, as Mamadou Thiam's excellent header found the back of the net just before full-time.
The match was end-to-end, with both teams pushing for a winner. And incredibly, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, FCSB scored through Florin Tanase's calm finish on the break, securing a stunning 4-3 win.
The victory keeps FCSB in the hunt for a top-24 spot, as they now trail by just one point. Meanwhile, Feyenoord face an uphill battle to reach the knockout playoffs, trailing by four points with two games left.
