Fulham comfortably beat OB Odense 2-0 in their Europa League tie in Denmark thanks to a brace from Andrew Johnson.
The game started at a frantic pace with both sides creating early chances to score, Kadrii volleyed wide in the first minute and Kasami should have done better than hitting the keeper following Johnson's cut-back.
Neither side was able to dominate but the game remained open, Dempsey hit a flying volley straight at Wessels and moments later former Manchester United midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba hit a 30-yard shot wide.
Odense then carved a golden chance to score. Kadrii squared the ball to the Senegalese forward, Fall whose toe-poke was heading for the corner but Mark Schwarzer dived to his left and clawed the ball away magnificently.
Fall then hit an overhead kick wide before Clint Dempsey saw an effort blocked as both sides continued to hunt for the game's opening goal.
Dempsey had a header cleared off the line by Djemba-Djemba but it was Fulham who finally broke the deadlock minutes later.
Dempsey did well to break two tackles and play the ball to Johnson, who cut inside from the left and hit a low shot towards Wessels who was unable to keep the ball out.
Fall had yet another chance to score from Andreasson's cut-back but could only side-foot over from 12 yards when unmarked.
The second half was a more tense affair as Fulham looked to consolidate behind their goal, Kasami threatened early on as he Flashed the ball across the Odense goal with Senderos lurking.
Young winger Kadrii was looking Odense's brightest attacking threat and his long-range effort stretched Schwarzer, Fulham struggled to clear the ball with Senderos looking particularly unsure.
Fulham continued to drop further and further back but should have had a man advantage after 70 minutes, with Traore only picking up a yellow card for a two-footed lunge on Briggs which left the young full-back requiring treatment.
Senderos was again causing his team-mates problems as Peter Utaka muscled him off the ball and brought a good save from Schwarzer.
Odense continued to search for an equaliser but were caught on the counter, Johnson plucked the ball out the air and curled a sumptuous shot past Wessels.
Traore was eventually sent-off for a second yellow card late on as Odense's challenge fizzled out and Fulham headed back to West London with all three points.
