Fenerbahce suffered a lot, Jorge Jesus, but ended up beating Dynamo Kyiv with a goal from Belgium international Michy Batshuayi, the Turks’ last booster, already in the compensation period.
After a clear advantage in the first half, a single goal by Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Henrique seemed rare for the home team to dominate. But in the second half Dynamo Kyiv looked stronger and Dynamo seemed to fall asleep, which was almost fatal.
True, the Ukrainian national team scored with the first shot on goal, by Tsygankov, the star of the team, but after this step they could have been much happier.
Sensing the danger, Jorge Jesus switched the three men up front, taking out Rossi, Joshua King, Joao Pedro Galvão and freeing Cahveci, Inner Valencia and Mickey Batshuayi, and it ended happily, as the Belgian scored the winning goal in the 90+2 minute.
A little more than a month after the second round of qualifying matches for the Champions League, with Fenerbahce eliminated by Dynamo Kyiv, the team led by Jorge Jesus showed that they are now much stronger and are a big candidate to win the Europa League in Group B.
In the other Group B match, Rennes beat Cyprus 2-1 against AEK Larnaca. The winning goal was scored by Assignon at 90 + 4. Arthur Thiat put the French ahead in the 29th minute, Auer equalized for the home team, and when the score looked over, the guests were delighted.
