Match statistics and transcript >>>
Post-match press conference >>>
Fenerbahce, as expected, took advantage with the starting whistle of the match, but Dynamo met the opponent with an extremely tough game, and this had its effect: for some time, the home team did not create absolutely anything in the attack.
And only in the 25th minute of the meeting did the first scoring opportunity arise: after a corner kick, Salai struck, Buschan reacted, hit the ball straight in front of him, and Enrique was already threatening the Kiev goal, however, even in this situation, the goalkeeper of the "white-blue" managed to help out your team from a goal.
In the second half of the first half, Fenerbahce's advantage became more tangible, and, as a result, in the 35th minute of the match it turned into a goal: Enrique, after a corner kick, won the fight in the air and sent the ball into the Dynamo goal with a header - 1 :0.
In the second half, there was a tense struggle on the field, but this did not prevent Dynamo from leveling the score. At the 65th minute of the meeting, Buyalsky broke through to the goal of the home team from the left, gave it to Tsygankov into the penalty area, and he sent the ball exactly into the bottom corner of the Fenerbahce goal with a hit on touch - 1:1. Moreover, eight minutes later, the people of Kiev almost took the lead - it was Buyalsky who hit his head after a free-kick exactly at the "nine", and Bayindyr, with incredible efforts, managed to transfer the game to a corner.
In general, the missed goal destroyed the harmony in the Fenerbahce game. Despite a series of substitutions aimed at aggravating the game, the Turkish team began to play chaotically and completely without chances. But already in stoppage time of the second half, the Turks still snatched the victory: after a throw-out and a discount, Bachuai, left unattended in the penalty area, hit the ball under the crossbar of Buschan's goal with a shot from six meters away - 2:1.
Let us add that in another match of the 1st round in group "B" of the Europa League, the French "Rennes" beat Cypriot AEK away - 2:1. In the next round, this group will play: Dynamo - AEK, Rennes - Fenerbahce. Both meetings will take place on September 15.
