Turkish fans are surprised that Dynamo played so strongly and admit that the Ukrainian club could have won if they had made better use of their chances. Many were dissatisfied with the performance of Beşiktaş, who miraculously won the game by scoring the winning goal in stoppage time. Fans of the Istanbul club admit that Dynamo is a strong opponent and praise Mircea Lucescu, who showed what coaching is all about. Turkish fans hope that in the second leg, Beşiktaş will show a completely different game and not make everyone worry about the result.

Curuk: "Dynamo turned out to be a very strong opponent. We really underestimated them and could have paid for it. At one point, I even thought that Beşiktaş would lose today. It was all going to happen, but the Ukrainians were a little bit short of success. This should be an important lesson for the Beşiktaş players, who clearly had a bad attitude for the first game against Dynamo.
Demirtas: Today I will not praise the team, despite the fact that Beşiktaş won. This is not the kind of victory and not the kind of game that the fans want to see. Is the Ukrainian club too difficult an opponent for you? Or are you not playing at 100%? The coach has to remind the players that they are playing for the great Beşiktaş, not some team from the province that happened to be in the European Cup tournament.
VolkanJK: It was a disappointing victory. We conceded two goals from Dynamo. We could have conceded as many more. Beşiktaş's victory looks more accidental than natural. We could have lost today. In general, a draw would have been a fair result for both teams.
Sarriar: The magic word "Dynamo"... Like some kind of enchanted opponent. We buy great players, and they are forced to sell everyone. We spend a lot of money, and they cut the budget. But as soon as we meet, something strange happens. "Dynamo starts playing as if the crisis is not with them, but with us.
Karatagna: It was a good game. Lots of goals, lots of dangerous moments, emotions, intrigue. This is the kind of football we all love. Not everything worked out for Beşiktaş, but the opponent was also strong. So let's just be happy for the team and thank them for this amazing victory.
Coban: A strong-willed victory in stoppage time. It was even more beautiful. I already thought that Dynamo would be able to take advantage of our confusion and score the third goal. They were really close to it. It's good that the team pulled together and managed to save the game and the result. It was not our best match, but there were so many emotions!
Selim: A game with flaws. Both teams made a lot of mistakes. The Ukrainians made more mistakes, so we managed to win. This is the main thing now. But we will get better, I'm sure of it. It would still be good to buy a player in the centre of the pitch before the transfer window closes. Today, the Ukrainians passed the middle of the pitch too easily, as if our players were not there. It shouldn't be like that.
Zeynep: With much weaker players available, Mircea Lucescu almost beat Canol Günes. If the Romanian coach was working at Besiktas now, we would have won with a crushing score against Dynamo. This is an indicator of the coach's work. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with Shenol Güneş today. Like many of the players at Beşiktaş.
Kartal: I was 100% sure that Beşiktaş would defeat Dynamo and after the first match it would be clear that we would advance to the group round. And here is a game that is just a shame for the team. These players have no honour and no conscience, they only play for money, not to glorify Beşiktaş.
Dilek: I thank the team for the victory. For a good and effective game. A true fan will always be happy for their team and support them. Those who are looking for flaws in Beşiktaş will always be able to find them, because there are no perfect people. Just like there is no perfect football.
Tarakci: "Beşiktaş believed in themselves very early on. But the Ukrainians played better. They made a lot of mistakes in defence, so we won today. But if they had converted all their chances in attack, they could still have won. You can praise the team for winning, but only if you didn't see the game.
Ulas: I think that Ukrainians do not appreciate their coach. It seems to me that Mircea Lucescu is the only person who keeps modern Dynamo at some level. When he leaves, the Ukrainian club will play much worse.
Bozbulat: Many people wrote that we could beat Dynamo 5-0 or 6-0. I said that it is simply impossible to win with such a scoreline against a team coached by Mircea Lucescu. But I would also urge you not to criticise the team for an uncertain victory. Even Barcelona had a hard time beating Dynamo in the Champions League. Lucescu knows how to surprise opponents tactically.
Halil: Lucescu should be renamed Satanescu. How does he do it? How did he make Dynamo play on an equal footing with Besiktas? The same Dynamo that was supposed to be eliminated by Aris in the last round! How do you explain it?
Gudaq: An important and very valuable victory for the team. There are no weak teams at this stage, so it was funny for me to read people's fantasies about winning before the match. It's the start of the season and now it's important for us to get through to the group round. It will get better as the team gets into shape.
Cagri: I'm ashamed of Canol Güneş. After the match, he praises the team and is happy with the result. He behaves as if Beşiktaş won easily and confidently, but it's not true. Güneş praises Dynamo and considers them to be strong opponents. But this is also a deception, because the Ukrainians themselves did not believe they could reach the next round. With the coach's motivation, we shouldn't expect to achieve much this season.
Alpakaya: Lucescu is a brilliant coach. I remember him from his work with Turkish clubs. He is a winner. Even managing such a weak team, which is in a difficult financial situation, Lucescu manages to play on an equal footing with Besiktas, which spends tens of millions of euros on strengthening.
Batur: A very valuable and timely lesson from Lucescu. Canel Güneş must finally understand that you can't always hope for a high level of players. Today, I saw Lucescu's coaching ideas, but I didn't see how Güneş wanted to surprise the opponent.
Pekmezi: Yes, this is not the game everyone was expecting. There was a lot of talk about revenge, about 5-6 goals for Dynamo, and as a result, we almost lost to an opponent who has been in crisis for over a year. I do not believe that an accidental 3-2 victory is something we should be proud of. The club's management is investing a lot of money in this team, so we should see a completely different Beşiktaş.
