Rangers’ hopes of Champions League football were ended after Jefté’s red card in a 2-0 home defeat, while José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce also fell short
The Brazilian winger was booked in the first half, and then sent off in the 51st minute after what looked a harsh second yellow card for an aerial challenge on Oleksandr Karavaiev. With the tie poised at 1-1 in the first leg, Kyiv took advantage with late strikes from Oleksandr Pikhalyonok and Nazar Voloshyn to progress.“It is a very decisive moment and in the end it has killed the dream of the dressing room and 50,000 fans,” Clement said. “You expect a better level of decision-making.
Dynamo Kyiv slowly started to take control and pounced for the breakthrough in the 82nd minute with Pikhalyonok firing past Jack Butland from the edge of the penalty area. Rangers had little time to react before Voloshyn fired home two minutes later to settle the tie, Kyiv winning 2-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate.
In the second half, Mourinho brought on Bright Osayi-Samuel, and the substitute struck the post late on with Lille clinging to their lead. In stoppage time, Fenerbahce kept the tie alive and forced extra time when a long throw bounced in off the defender Bafodé Diakité for an own goal. Fenerbahce went into extra time with momentum, which only increased when Lille’s debutant Aïssa Mandi was sent off for a high boot. But with time running down, Lille were awarded a penalty for handball, which was converted by David to seal progress.
“It’s better if I don’t talk about the penalty,” Mourinho told Kontraspor. “Only the referee knows why it was a penalty, and the VAR knows. I’m proud of my team. I am an honest person. I told my players that I was proud of them, they did everything to win. One team deserved to win but the other team advanced.”, who defeated Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise 4-1 on aggregate, in the final playoff round, while Fenerbahce drop into the Europa League.
