Greenwood broke the deadlock in the 12th minute. Oguz Aydin started a counterattack with a long ball from inside his own half, and the English winger sprinted into the box and hammered a shot into the near corner from a tight angle.
Irfan Can made it 2-0 in the 21st minute, celebrating his 200th appearance for the club with a stunning strike. Ismail Yuksek won the ball in Corum’s half and fed Romelu Lukaku, who set up the Turkish midfielder. He curled a left-footed shot into the top corner from roughly 25 yards. Fenerbahce led comfortably at the break.
Irfan Can completed his double in the 56th minute. Receiving a pass from Matteo Guendouzi near the edge of the box, the Turkey international feinted a left-footed shot, then bent a right-footed effort into the top corner for 3-0.
Greenwood struck again seven minutes later, finishing first time into the bottom corner from a low pass by Levent Mercan on the left side of the area.
Oguz Aydin capped the rout with a close-range finish at the far post. Substitute Kerem Akturkoglu, sent clear down the left by fellow substitute Vedat Muriqi, delivered the low cross.
The dominant display gave Belozoglu a strong start after taking over following Fenerbahce’s recent domestic struggles. The Istanbul side sit fifth with 19 points from 11 matches, while Corum FK remain ninth on 16 points.
