Starting their must-win game rather cautiously, the Eagles struggled to impose any authority in the early going, and the home side took advantage of it with a 9th-minute Biesedin goal. At the half-hour mark, Yarmolenko converted a questionable penalty call, which resulted in sending Beşiktaş defenderAndreas Beck off, and doubled the Ukrainian team’s lead. Then the goals from Buyalskiy and Gonzales gave Dynamo Kiev an unexpected 4-0 advantage for the first half. After the restart, the Eagles put in all their efforts to reduce the deficit, but following Aboubakar’s ejection, the game was almost over for the 9-men Besiktaş as Sydorchuk and Moraes added two more goals and closed the scoring.
