While Fenerbahçe received Dynamo kyiv in the second qualifying round for the next edition of the Champions League, the Turkish fans shone in a very sad way.
After Vitaliy Buyalskyi’s opener shortly before the hour mark, part of the stadium began to chant in honor of Vladimir Putin, as Ukraine has been plunged into war since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia last February.
But these provocations did not disturb the club of the Ukrainian capital, who finally won two goals to one at the end of the extension. “Everything went as planned during the match, but we didn’t expect such cries from the supporters, it’s unfortunate,” Dynamo coach Mircea Lucescu reacted at a press conference. Fenerbahçe coach Jorge Jesus did not comment on the incident.
Dynamo Kyiv qualified by winning 1-2 following extra time and will face Austrian side Sturm Graz in the next round. The first leg, played in Lodz, Poland, ended 0-0. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Dynamo had only been able to play friendly matches, such as the Match for Peace once morest Antwerp.
