The coach of the Kiev team was also dissatisfied with the referee’s actions
Head coach Dynamo Alexander Shovkovskiy was dissatisfied with the team’s performance in the first match with Salzburg (2:1) in the qualifying playoffs Champions League 2024/25.
“Of course, I’m not happy with the game. I’m also somewhat unhappy with the referee’s actions, because the foul on Yarmolenko was a 100% sure thing. And if it’s not a penalty, then at least it’s a very dangerous free kick.”
“As for the team’s play, we created a lot of chances, but the game is about goals scored, not about the opportunities we create. We still have a replay, we will prepare for it – this match is not over yet.”
“There were enough chances to score, but we couldn’t finish in some places, we didn’t manage to close in on others, and we hit the post in others. That’s the game.”
“We will analyze this game in detail in order to play well in the return match. I will tell the team about the opponent’s weaknesses.”
Dynamo conceded two goals in each half. The Kievans created many opportunities to recoup before the end of the match, Andriy Yarmolenko, Mykola Shaparenko, Maksym Bragaru had chances to score, and Denis Popov hit the post. However, the score did not change.
The return match will take place at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg on August 27. The match starts at 22:00.
