Muriqi Goal Gives Fenerbahçe Comeback Win Over Liverpool
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
What did Greenwood and Brown’s goals achieve before the winner?
Correct answer: C — They answered Liverpool’s leads and left the score at 2–2.
Why: Nyoni and Isak put Liverpool ahead; the replies from Greenwood and Brown brought the teams level.
Clue in the story: Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak each put Liverpool in front. Mason Greenwood and Archie Brown replied for Fenerbahçe, leaving the score at 2–2.
Which description of the winning goal is accurate?
Correct answer: A — A substitute headed it in during the 79th minute.
Why: Muriqi was a substitute, and his headed winner came in the 79th minute.
Clue in the story: Substitute Vedat Muriqi headed in the winning goal in the 79th minute. Sky Sports reported that it was Fenerbahçe’s first win in this season’s Champions League.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain the meaning of “came from behind twice” using the scoring details in the story.
One possible answer: Nyoni and Isak each put Liverpool in front, and Greenwood and Brown answered those goals. Fenerbahçe therefore recovered from being behind on two separate occasions before Muriqi won it.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
