fenerbahçe eventually made the most of ogenyi onazi's 47th-minute dismissal thanks to pierre webó's late penalty and dirk kuyt's added-time goal.
two goals in the last 12 minutes have left fenerbahçe sk poised for a first ever appearance in a european semi-final as the turkish team eventually broke s.s. lazio's resolve.
an even first half was forgotten two minutes after the restart when ogenyi onazi's second booking of the night changed the complexion of this uefa europa league tie. the hosts looked to force home the advantage, hitting the post for a second time before pierre webó's 78th-minute penalty edged them ahead. dirk kuyt's added-time effort could prove decisive.
the şükrü saracoğlu stadium was sold out but lazio were undaunted and had the better of the opening period. ıt was moussa sow who came closest to breaking the deadlock, however, federico marchetti just about getting his fingertips to a first-time effort after ştefan radu's poor clearance was deflected into the forward's path. the ball came back off the upright.
a tight match was blow open when onazi departed, raul meireles signalling the change in tempo within seconds as he bent a lovely shot onto the post. lazio held firm, cristian ledesma coming on to add defensive resistance to the midfield. fenerbahçe coach aykut kocaman responded by introducing caner erkin and salih uçan, and gradually fenerbahçe took a firm grip on the game.
that ascendancy was reflected in the scoreline 12 minutes from time when webó sent marchetti the wrong way after radu was penalised for handball. the home fans rose in unison but they wanted more and at the death kuyt gave it to them, firing into the roof of the net when marchetti could only parry caner erkin's awkward free-kick.
ıt sealed lazio's first defeat in 11 games in this competition; they will need to rediscover their best in rome next thursday.
