The only goal was scored by Artem Dovbik
Dynamo conceded Roma in the away match of the 3rd round Europa Leaguehaving conceded the only goal in the middle of the first half – 0:1.
For this game, Kiev coach Alexander Shovkovsky released an experimental lineup, leaving in reserve such performers as Georgy Bushchan, Vladimir Brazhko, Nikolay Shaparenko, Vitaly Buyalsky, Vladislav Kabaev and Vladislav Vanat. The last five subsequently came on as substitutes.
Even in such a game combination, Dynamo looked shameless against the background of a formidable opponent. Shovkovsky’s team defended competently, but in the end everything was decided by an 11-meter shot into their goal. In the 23rd minute, defender Taras Mikhavko fouled Tommaso Baldanzi. Ukrainian Artem Dovbik approached the “point” and confidently played the ball and Ruslan Neshcheret into the corners.
For the 27-year-old center forward, this goal was the fifth in 11 matches of the season. The Ukrainian managed to distinguish himself three times in Serie A (+ assist), and twice already in the League of Legends. Artem ended up playing 52 minutes.
The guests did not lose heart, began to attack and even had good chances to score. Alexander Tymchik shot dangerously, Mile Svilar saved after Eduardo Guerrero’s shot. At the 42nd minute, Dynamo even equalized, but Nazar Voloshin’s goal was canceled due to offside.
After the break, the game passed without an abundance of dangerous moments. From the side of the Kyiv team, we can note the shots of Nikolai Mikhailenko (inaccurate) and Vanat (into the hands of the goalkeeper). Eldor Shomurodov could score twice against Roma.
Dynamo remains without points and goals scored in the general stage of the second European Cup. In the standings, the white-blues at least temporarily dropped to last, 36th place. In the next round of the League of Legends, Shovkovsky’s team will host Ferencvaros on November 7. And this Sunday the people of Kiev will have a home battle with Shakhtar in the UPL.
