A week ago in Bucharest, Dynamo lost to the Turks — 2:3. So they had to correct their situation in Istanbul. As in the previous match, Yarmolenko was unable to play today due to injury.

In the first half, the home team dominated the game. Already on the 2nd minute, Bushchan had to save after a header from Muleka. Later, the same Muleka hit his teammate from a dangerous position, and on the 19th minute, he shot over the bar from outside the penalty area. It's worth noting the dangerous attempts by Uçan and Abubakar as well. From Dynamo, one can remember Vana's long-range shot that went over the crossbar, and Popov's shot after a set piece that missed the target. At the end of the half, Fernandes had a dangerous free kick.

After halftime, Bushchan reacted to Uçan's penalty shot. Dynamo responded with a dangerous counterattack that Voloshin and Vana couldn't finish off. And on the 52nd minute, Abubakar broke through Kyiv's defense solo and opened the scoring in the match. 1:0.

From then on, it was mostly the Turks who were closer to scoring, but either they lacked accuracy or Bushchan stood in their way. Dynamo can be remembered for Andriyevsky's penalty shot. In summary, Besiktas won at home and advanced to the group stage. For the white-and-blues, the European Cup season is over.

The match was attended by Dynamo players who were called up for the September national team training camp: Bushchan, Timchik (substituted in the 89th minute), Popov (yellow card), Sidorchuk (yellow card, substituted in the 85th minute), Shaparenko (yellow card, substituted in the 76th minute), Karavaev, Buyalskyi, Vana.
