Fenerbahce have managed to nab a point at the last minute in the UEFA Europa League Group A match against Ukrainian team FC Zorya Luhansk on Thursday.

Fenerbahce's central defender Simon Kjaer found the net thanks to a deflected shot at the 96th minute at Chernomorets Stadium in Odessa, to tie the game 1-1.

The first half of the match in Ukraine saw the two sides testing each other, but the second half began with a bang as Luhansk's midfielder Dmytro Hrechyshkin scored a sensational goal from 25 meters out for the 1-0 lead.

In Group A's other match, heavily favored Manchester United were beaten by Feyenoord 1-0 in Holland.

Feyenoord's goal came at the 79th minute from 21-year-old Tonny Vilhena.
