Turkish journalists expected victory from Fenerbahce. Before the match, they wrote about the fact that the Ukrainian club was in bad shape and had lost 4 matches in a row. Therefore, Fenerbahce simply did not have the right to concede to Dynamo again, especially at home. In general, Turkish journalists praised the Istanbul club for the victory, but the quality of the game, in their opinion, is still not impressive, since Jorge Jesus was expected, first of all, to have a beautiful and productive game. Including in European competitions.
Also, everyone notes that this is the first victory of Fenerbahce over Dynamo. Moreover, this is the first match won by a Turkish club in the group rounds of European Cup tournaments since September 2007!
Hurriyet
The journalist of the Hurriyet edition talks about the main characters of the match with Dynamo - Misha Batshuai and Gustavo Enrique. He also reminds that this was Fenerbahce's first victory in the entire history of confrontations with Dynamo.
"Fenerbahce defeated Dynamo 2:1 in the match of the first round of the group stage of the Europa League. The Turkish club wanted to avenge the elimination from the Champions League. Jorge Jesus was able to beat Lucescu, and the match turned out to be amazing in many ways.
Firstly, Fenerbahce won against Dynamo for the first time only in 7 matches between these teams. Secondly, the Istanbul club won its first match in the group rounds of European Cup tournaments since September 2007! Then Fenerbahce beat Inter 1-0 in the Champions League. Thirdly, Mishi Batshuai scored a goal in his debut match for Fenerbahce! It was this productive blow that brought victory to the Turkish club.
And separately I would like to tell you about Gustavo Enrique. The nominal defender of Fenerbahce made 3 shots on the Dynamo goal. More than any other player. In addition, he showed himself excellently in defense.
The most surprising thing is that before this match, Fenerbahce fans criticized both Enrique and Batshuai. The first one performed poorly in the starting round of the Turkish Super League, and the second previously played for Besiktas, which is already a reason for criticism. It was these two players who became the heroes of Fenerbahce in a match full of coincidences and accidents".
Aksam
“The decisive word is Misha Batshuai,” a journalist from the Aksam website noted the goal of the newcomer to Fenerbahce and hinted that the Turkish club could have passed Dynamo in the Champions League qualification if the club’s management had invited a striker of this level to the team earlier.
"Fenerbahce had an overwhelming advantage for the entire 90 minutes of this match. The 2:1 victory does not reflect what happened on the field, but the main thing is that we managed to win. Misha Batshuai scored the winning goal in stoppage time. First goal in the first match! This proves the high level of the Fenerbahce newcomer. It is not in vain that the fans criticized the club's management, which had not been able to invite Batshuai earlier. Perhaps then the Turkish club would have been able to beat Dynamo in previous meetings.
The Ukrainians tried to play the way they did in past matches against Fenerbahce, but Jorge Jesus was ready for it. He said this after the match. Lucescu was able to surprise the Portuguese for the first time, but now it didn't work. With such a game, it will be difficult for Dynamo to count on leaving the group, but this is only the start of the tournament, so everything can change in the next rounds. In the meantime, we can be glad that Fenerbahce won against Dynamo for the first time in its history. In the 7th match".
Sabah
“The Fenerbahce rookie helps win against Dynamo by scoring a goal in the last minutes,” Sabah website journalist notes Misha Batshuai’s contribution to the victory over Dynamo. The journalist writes that Mircea Lucescu was desperately trying to slow down the pace of the game, instructing the team to play tough, but at the same time not to forget to play for time, especially after Dynamo equalized the score in the match.
"The Yellow-Blues finally managed to beat Dynamo. For most of the match, Fenerbahce had an advantage, so the victory was well-deserved. From the first minutes, the Ukrainians tried to slow down the pace of the game, acting rather rudely, but this did not stop Fenerbahce from scoring a goal - Enrique scored. It was worth relaxing a bit, as Dynamo was able to level the score, Tsygankov scored.
After that, there was a lot of struggle, the Ukrainians were desperately trying to play for time to keep a draw, but this did not help them. Mishi Batshuai, a newcomer to Fenerbahce, scored a goal in stoppage time and helped win against Dynamo — 2:1. The match turned out to be very tense and exhausting. Even the experienced Jorge Jesus could not stand it and after the final whistle went towards Buschan to complain to him. The Portuguese coach showed the goalkeeper to lie down on the field again and play for time, although the match had already ended.
The Turkish club achieves the first victory in the Europa League, but this is only the beginning. Fenerbahce has a game with Rennes ahead, and Dynamo will play with AEK".
