FC Dynamo Kyiv have defeated FC Metalist 1925 Kharkiv away within the UPL matchday 7 – 2:0. Goals were scored by Viktor Tsyhankov and Denys Harmash.
The White-Blues’ midfielder Olexandr Andriyevskyi has commented upon the match:
- Games after international break are usually tough. Was this the case today, especially in the first half?
- Home side defended well, but we were ready and waited for our chances. The disallowed goal by Kedziora was a bit frustrating, but we coped with that. Metalist 1925 also had a great chance, but then we took the game under control and succeeded.
- There were a lot of long breaks for VAR checks. Did that slow the game down?
- When you just stand on the field for a few minutes, it’s difficult to continue the game afterwards.
- Was this game a kind of rehearsal before the match against Benfica?
- We move from one game to another, so this match wasn’t a rehearsal. Metalist 1925 are decent opponent. Now we’ll focus on Benfica. It will be completely different game.
- Is the game at the NSC Olimpiyskyi a chance to start the Champions League successfully?
- We always aim to win and get ready for every match properly. We’ll see what happens.
