After five rounds, Mircea Lucescu's wards lost their chances for third place, so today's match in Krakow became their last in the European cup season. Interestingly, "Dynamo" has already met with "Fenerbahçe" four times this campaign. Note the return of goalkeeper Bushchan after an injury.

The Dynamo players started the game not badly, for example, Vanat missed a good shot from position on the 10th minute. However, gradually Fenerbahçe took control. On the 23rd minute, the Turks went ahead in the score — Bushchan made an error against Valencía in one-on-one situation, and 17-year-old Güler put the ball into an empty net.

Later, Dynamo's defenders "brought" a goal to themselves by giving the ball away to Valencía, who passed Bushchan but missed from a sharp angle. However, just before halftime, the Istanbul team scored again — Arao headed in Güler’s corner kick.

In the second half, Dynamo had little to offer near the opponent's goal. Moreover, on the 60th minute Bushchan denied Valencía a goal in one-on-one situation. Later, Zabarnyi received his second yellow card and was sent off, leaving his team short-handed. In the end, the white-and-blue were unable to change the disappointing score — 0:2.

In the Dynamo squad for this match, players who were called up for the last national team training camp participated: Timchik, Zabarnyi (substituted off on the 68th minute), Sidorchuk (yellow card), Tsygankov (replaced by Diallo on the 86th minute), Karavaev (came on as a substitute in the 70th minute).
