They called on Putin, will they be punished? UEFA is already acting

Dynamo went to Istanbul for the return match of the 2nd preliminary round of the LM after a goalless draw and the entire first half was played without goals. In the second half, midfielder Ismail Yüksek was sent off in the 53rd minute following a second yellow card, and Vitalij Bujalskij opened the scoring shortly after and Dynamo took the lead.

But after that chanting from some of the Turkish supporters began to be heard from the corridors, calling out the name of Vladimir Putin. For the Ukrainian players who lost their relatives, friends and home in the war, it was certainly not pleasant. However, they didn’t let that get them down, and despite conceding a goal at the end of the match, they were able to decide in extra time in the 114th minute about their progress to the next phase of the LM, where they will face Graz.

After elimination, the Turkish vice-champion dropped to the European League, in the third preliminary round of which they will face Slovácko. However, it is possible that he will enter the home match on August 4 having been somehow punished by the UEFA disciplinary committee, which has already begun to deal with the incident. However, the club distanced itself from the scandalous behavior of its supporters.

“In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will conduct a disciplinary investigation into the alleged inappropriate behavior of Fenerbahçe fans during the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League,” an official statement read.
