But the Istanbul outfit responded well and turned things around to go 20-16 up at the end of the first period.

Fener took a decisive grip on the game in the third period to move 59-43 ahead and put the contest beyond their Hungarian opponents once and for all.

MKB fought back valiantly in the latter stages but could not close the gap and in the end the Turkish side even extended their advantage to run out 78-61 winners.
