Dynamo midfielder Bohdan Redushko summed up the first-leg match of the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round against Universitatea Cluj (0:0).
– Why were you unable to break the opponent down?
– It's hard to say. We put pressure on Universitatea throughout the entire game, but we lacked the most important thing – a successful finish to our attacks.
– Dynamo did not allow Universitatea to have many shots on goal. Can it be said that the defensive game plan was carried out?
– Yes, because we did not concede. The opponent created almost nothing, played as the second team, but withstood the pressure. We need to do better in the final phase.
– Before the away match, the score in the tie is 0:0. Does that give you an advantage or increase the pressure?
– Of course, this result creates pressure. We wanted to win today. In Romania, of course, we will play only for the win.
– At the end of the match, the ball hit the outside of the net after your shot. What were you thinking at that moment?
– I received a pass from Shaparenko and shot immediately. I didn't manage to hit the target, but it's nothing serious.
– An unusual situation occurred in the second half – the floodlights at the stadium went out...
– It didn't work in our favor because we had just managed to increase the tempo. The rhythm was disrupted, and that helped Universitatea.
