On Wednesday, July 31, FC Dynamo Kyiv played the 2024/2025 Champions League 2nd qualifying round second leg. The White-Blues faced FK Partizan in Belgrade.
As you know, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi’s men won the first leg 6:2. The return match was played behind closed doors while Dynamo succeeded 3:0.
Ukrainians had a good attack early in the game, but didn’t get to shoot. After that it was quite calm on the field until Kyivans opened the score in the 16th minute. The pass by Vanat wasn’t quite accurate, but after rebound Yarmolenko obtained the ball and hit the corner – 0:1.
Afterwards the game slowed down again. One can mention the shot by Shaparenko from the box line when the ball went wide.
Shortly before the break Voloshyn appeared in a promising position, but he was flagged offside.
Partizan started the second half more actively. Saldanha hit the post with a header after cross from the left side! Later Saldanha attempted after corner, but missed a bit.
Unfortunately an accident happened later as Diachuk got injured and was subbed off to Bilovar.
Halfway through the second half Vanat rushed into the penalty area and was fouled against by Markovic. Referee checked VAR and awarded penalty. Vanat converted from the spot – 0:2.
Voloshyn had a chance after low cross by Supriaha from the right wing, but hit the crossbar from close range!
Popov headed the ball in after free kick, but was flagged offside, so the goal was disallowed.
The one who increased the lead was Karavayev. Dubinchak avoided offside and could shoot himself, but passed to Oleksandr, who scored.
So, Dynamo win 3:0 (9:2 on aggregate). Kyivans will face the Scottish side Rangers FC in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round. The first leg will take place on Tuesday, August 6, in Lublin, Poland.
