The home side took the lead in the 21st minute through striker Dion Beljo, who was quick to pounce on a rebound in the box. However, Fenerbahçe's response was swift, with Sebastian Szymanski equalizing just four minutes later with a brilliant strike from outside the area.
After a 1-1 first half, Beljo once again made the difference, restoring Dinamo's lead early in the second half with a close-range finish. As Fenerbahçe pushed for a late equalizer, they were caught on the counter in the dying moments of the game. Substitute Mounsef Bakrar sealed the win for Dinamo Zagreb in the 94th minute, securing a crucial three points.
The result is a dream start for Dinamo, who now sit atop their group, while it marks a frustrating beginning for a star-studded Fenerbahçe team who will need to quickly rebound from the disappointing away loss.
