As part of the 7th round of the updated format of the Europa League, Galatasaray met with Dynamo “in their own walls”. It was the home team, driven forward by the fans, who were the first to score in the match. Davinson Sanchez beat everyone on the second floor, opening the scoring from a corner kick in the sixth minute. A little later, the Lions doubled their advantage. Abdulkerim Bardakchi, who decided to shoot from outside the penalty area, was helped by a rebound from one of the Kiev defenders, who disoriented Ruslan Neshcheret, and as a result, the ball flew into the net. However, the “white-blues” still went into the break with a relatively comfortable gap. In stoppage time for the first half, Vladislav Vanat scored after another attack, which finally reached the stage of a shot on goal. In the second half, another gift could have happened for Alexander Shovkovskiy’s team, because the referee was going to send off Bar?s Y?lmaz for a foul during a struggle in the penalty area, but ended up awarding a penalty after reviewing VAR. Viktor Osimgen decided to shoot the 11-meter. The Nigerian didn't miss the mark. Andrey Yarmolenko turned the game upside down. The Kiev legend first put up a very good fight against Ismail Jacobs after a corner kick, sending the ball into the net in acrobatic style. Later, the winger took the best position in the aerial duel against Davinson Sanchez, scoring a double with a header from a pass from Vitaly Buyalsky.

Both teams still strived to “snatch” victory, therefore, the spectators saw football on opposite courses in the last minutes, however, the game looked like chaos, and not like something deliberate, and in this chaos no one got the most out of it. Thus, Dynamo brings from Turkey the first draw in the current Europa League season and, accordingly, the first point scored.
