Kyiv "Dynamo" failed to pass the Turkish "Besiktas" in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification.

A week ago in Bucharest, Dynamo lost to the Turks due to a goal in the last minutes of the match — 2:3. Therefore, Mircea Lucescu had to correct the situation of his wards in Istanbul. As in the last match, Yarmolenko could not play today due to an injury.

In the first half, the home team had the upper hand. Already in the 2nd minute, Bushan had to be rescued after a header from Muleka. Later, the same Muleka hit a partner from a lethal position, and in the 19th minute he hit the post from outside the penalty area. It is also worth noting the dangerous attempts from Uchan and Abubakar. In "Dynamo", we can recall Vanat's long-range shot over the crossbar, as well as Popov's shot after a set piece, which missed the target. At the end of the half, Fernandes made a dangerous free kick.

After the break, Bushchan reacted to Uchan's free kick. "Dynamo" responded with a dangerous counterattack, which Voloshyn and Vanat were unable to complete. And in the 52nd minute, Abubakar single-handedly dealt with the Kyiv defense and opened the score in the match. 1:0.

In the future, it was the Turks who were closest to the goal, but they either lacked accuracy, or Bushchan stood in the way. In "Dynamo" you can only remember Andrievsky's kick from a free kick. As a result, "Beşiktaş" won at home and steps into the group stage. For the white and blue, the European Cup season is over.

Dynamo players who were called up to the national team in September took part in the match: Bushchan, Tymchyk (replaced in the 89th minute), Popov (yellow card), Sydorchuk (yellow card, replaced in the 85th minute), Shaparenko (yellow card, substituted in the 76th minute), Karavaev, Buyalskyi, Vanat.
