On Wednesday, July 27, Dynamo Kyiv, which played a draw (0:0) in the first match with Fenerbahce, played the return leg of the second round of the Champions League qualification at the Sukru Saracoglu arena in Istanbul and, interrupting its 9-match streak without victories in European competition, knocked out the team of Georges Jesus from the tournament. What an intrigue!
Champions League. 2nd qualifying round. return match
Fenerbahce (Istanbul, Turkey) - Dynamo (Kyiv, Ukraine) - 1:2 (after extra time)
“Dynamo”: Bushchan, Kendzera (Karavaev, 91), Zabarny, Popov, Dubinchak (Ovcharenko, 106), Sidorchuk (Andreevsky, 106), Shaparenko, Buyalsky (Shepelev, 67), Verbich (Vanat, 38), Tsygankov, (Garmash).
Goals: Soloi (89) - Buyalsky (57), Karavaev (114).
In the 53rd minute, Ismail (Fenerbahce) was sent off, and in the 70th minute, Arao (Fenerbahce) did not convert a penalty.
The first match - 0:0.
The team of Mircea Lucescu, who will turn 77 on July 29, flew to Istanbul, which was not at all alien to the Romanian specialist (the specialist on the banks of the Bosphorus became the Turkish champion with local Galatasaray and Besiktas, and also won with Shakhtar) in the UE Cup. outsider status - according to bookmakers. At the same time, Dynamo previously visited the Fenerbahce stadium three times and never lost (in the Champions League qualification in 2006 - 1:1, in the Champions League group in 2008 - 0:0 and in a friendly match in In 2021 - 1:1).
If Lucescu entrusted a place in the “base” to all the same players as Lodz, then Jorge Jesus was forced to make one substitution due to an injury to the central defender Serdar Aziz.
The people of Kiev survived in the filled arena in the first half of the reporting match. But in many respects only thanks to talent. Fenerbahce completely outplayed Dynamo, who were visibly nervous under the pressure of the Turks, and the statistics of strikes - 8: 1 in favor of the Istanbul team - is the best confirmation of this. And if we also remember the hosts’ unscoring goal in the 9th minute (the Italian referee recorded a Valencia foul on Zabarny), Kahveci’s gorgeous free-kick to the post, Buschan’s selfless save after the opponent’s kick from zero angle and Verbic’s injury, it was completely sad.
The second half turned out to be much richer in events. Removal from the field of the Turk Ismail, Buyalsky’s goal after the first blow to the plane and Arao’s unrealized penalty in the 70th minute against Dynamo (the goalkeeper of Kiev parried the kick). It seemed that Fortuna this evening was in “white-blue” colors.
But the weak functional readiness of the Dynamo team and a blunder at the exit from the gate of Buschan when a corner was taken led to the fact that the Turks in the 89th minute, thanks to the efforts of the Hungarian defender Soloi, equalized the score and transferred the match to overtime.
Fortunately, in the extra time, the Turks, who fought with ten men, also ran out of steam, and in the 114th minute, the former player … Fenerbahce Karavaev brought the White-Blues a super-heavy victory with a chic volley.
“Dynamo” will continue to play in the Champions League (the Turks in the next round of the Europa League will compete with the Czech “Slovacko”) and, following the results of the draw in the third round of qualification, will play with the vice-champion of Austria “Sturm” (August 2 or 3 - in Lodz, August 9 - in Lattice).
Recall that the winner of the Ukrainian-Austrian confrontation will make it to the playoff round of the Champions League, and the loser - to the group stage of the Europa League.
Earlier reported that “Shakhtar” with Mudrik’s super goal lost in a sparring with “Ajax”.
