Turkish Besiktas head coach Şenol Güneş summarised the results of his team's first match against Dynamo Kyiv (3:2) in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification, which took place yesterday in Bucharest.
"It was important for us to finish this match with a win. But nothing has been decided yet, we have played only half of our confrontation with Dinamo. And we are still determined to fight for qualification to the group stage of the Conference League.
I would like to thank all the players of our team for this game. The match was not easy. We started it badly. But then we took control and took the lead. It was difficult for us to close the flanks. But when we scored, we started to play effectively in the opponent's half. As a result, we return from the away match with an advantage.
It is important to continue to perform in this spirit in the return match. All the players of our team are doing their best. I hope we will score again in Istanbul, but we will not concede a single goal," Gunesh said after the match with Dynamo.
