Sport Arena analyzes the actions of Dynamo Kyiv players in the Champions League qualification match against Turkish Fenerbahce
Dynamo continues to struggle for access to the group stage of the Champions League. After a 0:0 draw in a conditionally home match, the Kievans managed to beat Fenerbahce on his field (2:1), so now they will play in the playoffs. How did Dynamo play this match, and why did the Ukrainian club manage to knock out an opponent with a large number of foreign players and the total cost of the squads? The Sport Arena is being dismantled.
- George Bushchan – 7.5
>> We will not spare epithets to our goalkeeper – 14 accurate shots have landed on target in two matches. Artfully parried Valencia penalty, good saves after kicks from the field and other standards of the same Valencia, Salai, Bruma fully compensate for the error at the exit, which led to the only goal of Fenerbahce. This match had a hero, his name is George.
- Tomasz Kendzhera – 7.0 << 91' 20. Karavaev
>> Productive match of Kendzhera. He often outplayed opponents on the flank, participated in a combination game and traditionally acted uncompromisingly against his opponents. He made a very skillful assist under Buyalsky’s goal, when Tomek mocked Kadioglu and laid the ball under Vitaliy’s kick. I gave the game all my strength and successfully passed the baton to the next hero – Karavaev.
- Ilya Zabarny – 6.5
>> Again, we state that Zabarny passed the exam with quite skillful and experienced Fener players. He was not inferior in martial arts (remember the beginning of the game, when Valencia beat him with a phantom goal only in violation of the rules). He gave out good longballs (it was Ilya who started the attack, which Tsygankov completed by reaching the goalkeeper). Unsuccessfully played in the moment with a designated penalty – moved forward, but lost the riding duel, passing the ball behind him. This mistake was heroically leveled by Buschan. But Ilya could score the winning goal, shaking off the frame from the connection and almost hitting the target after finishing a little earlier.
- Denis Popov – 5.5
>> In a one-on-one game, Denis often tried to take not by skill, but by force. Sometimes this led to such moments as Kahvedzhi free-kick, after which the ball hit the goal frame. Also unjustified was Popov’s tackle near Valencia in the moment that ended in the appointment of a penalty. However, you do not deny the advantages of Denis – in particular, it was his intransigence that extinguished over time the active and dimensional attacking players of the hosts.
- Vladislav Dubinchak – 6.0 << 106' 2. Vivcharenko
>> This time Dubinchak played less spectacular, though useful. For example, it was with him that the first effective attack began. However, in defensive work, Vladislav has more questions than Lodz. Dubinchak did not have time in the 22nd minute, when Popov did not finish the King, and he had a one-on-one exit. He allowed himself to be “exchanged” by his opponents, as, for example, in the 87th minute, when Bruma almost hit the goal from the flank.
- Sergey Sidorchuk – 6.0 << 106' 18. Andrievsky
>> The captain traditionally performed a large amount of work, sometimes gave out quite sharp passes and traditionally tried to look for a chance to break through. This time, however, there were more mistakes – as in the 22nd minute, when Fener’s potentially scoring counterattack began with an unsuccessful throw from Sidorchuk, or the moment with Salai’s goal, where Sergey did not approach the opponent when he closed the corner. It seemed that the forces were also leaving – although Sidorchuk managed to develop a counterattack in the 93rd minute with a split pass to Vanat.
- Nikolai Shaparenko – 6.5
>> A very productive match by Shaparenko. In many attacks, he set the pace, including in the second goal, where Kolya successfully transferred from the center to the left, to Garmash, who connected Vivcharenko, who made a productive cross. There were several more such moments, besides mobile Shaparenko forced opponents to foul on himself – More and Salai sat on the cards because of Kolya.
- Victor Tsygankov – 6.0
>> The score would have been higher by a ball if Viktor had realized his magnificent moment in half an hour of the game – but after Buyalsky’s discount, he got too close to Baindyr, released the ball at the goalkeeper, failing to break through. For the rest, he tried successfully, carefully playing along with his comrades, issuing the so-called. “transassist” on Kengzhera with Buyalsky’s goal and gently crossed on Zabarny, who hit the post in extra time. A significant claim is the defensive work on the flank, where Viktor did not help Tomas enough. With his loss, an acute attack of the opponents began, ending with an unaccounted goal in the opening game.
- Vitaly Buyalsky – 7.0 << 67' 8. Shepelev
>> His goal for Dynamo is worth its weight in gold, and even with still not the best game, Buyalsky played a surprisingly important role in his team’s European Cup victory. Even before the goal, Vitaly was remembered for a successful header pass to Tsygankov, who, strictly speaking, was supposed to open the scoring. It was against Bui that Ismail fouled, leaving Fenerbahce in the minority. In the end, it was Vitaly who successfully reacted to the cross from Kendzhera, scoring a super-important goal during the attack, the pace of which he set with his pass to the right.
- Benjamin Verbic – 5.5 << 38' 11 Wanat
>> Far from everything came out for Verbic in 108 minutes against Fenerbahce, however, in Istanbul before the injury, he definitely caused trouble for his rivals on the flank (even though he didn’t remember the danger to the goal, limiting himself to getting offside). The Slovenian received yellow cards from Yuksek and Osai, with the former later converting the warning into a send-off. Replaced by Benji due to injury. We hope it won’t be hard.
- Artem Besedin – 5.5 << 67' 19. Garmash
>> This time, Besedin played worse – he also didn’t threaten the goal, but he didn’t open either, he didn’t win a useful fight, which could help attacks from the depths from Tsygankov, Buyalsky and Vanat. This substitution was readable, Artem gave all his strength to the rough work and gave way to the field when he had pretty much “ate” in Istanbul.
Substitutions
- Verbic 38′ >> 11. Vladislav Vanat – 6.0
>> Vanat replaced the left winger, however, with the release of Garmash, he could reorient himself to the tip. Although he didn’t score, he tried to do his job – he put pressure in front, looking for a chance to break away (remember the moment on the verge of offside after Sidorchuk’s pass during a swift counterattack in extra time or an attempt to strike with his heel from Karavaev’s serve). The best times of Vanat are ahead, and this future is already close.
- Besedin >> 67′ 19. Denis Garmash – 6.5
>> Denis did not always cope with emotions (remember the quarrel with the referee), but Dynamo had an exceptionally positive effect on the game. First, he calmed the hot zone on the attack line. Secondly, he used the opportunity to spin with his right foot from the left flank very effectively. It was he who gave the “pre-assist” in the second scoring combination. There were also mistakes – it was Denis who lost the fight to Salai, who almost scored in the 78th minute, but Garmash did more good. Much more.
- Buyalsky >> 67′ 8. Vladimir Shepelev – 6.5
>> Great entered the game Shepelev and sharply aggravated the game of Kiev, although we are accustomed to rely on him more in accompaniment. Let’s remember the 98th minute, when Vladimir squeezed a promising moment out of nothing and shot from an acute angle.
- Kengera >> 91′ 20. Alexander Karavaev – 8.0
>> Fenerbahce once underestimated Karavaev in vain – a Kherson resident in a T-shirt of another team proved his level at this stadium. He immediately revived the game, which is worth the connection in the 98th minute with a good serve and a good accompaniment to Tsygankov at the moment when Zabarny shook the woodwork.
- Dubinchak >> 106′ 2. Konstantin Vivcharenko – 6.5
>> Dubinchak raised the bar with a bright game against Fenerbahce, and it was very important for young Vivcharenko to successfully replace him. It worked out: Konstantin did his job on the flank and assisted Karavaev with an excellent pass for the winning goal. Are we somehow underestimating the depth of Lucescu’s reserves?
- Sidorchuk >> 106′ 18. Alexander Andrievsky – 6.0
>> Replaced the captain, who gave his all in this match, and generally coped with the tempo work in the center of the field. Still tried to look for an opportunity to break through.
