Dynamo Kyiv followed up their Matchday 2 loss to Spanish champions FC Barcelona with a 2-2 draw away to Italian title-holders FC Internazionale Milano on Tuesday night. Twice the White-Blues took the lead, but both times José Mourinho's men found a way back.
Dynamo coach opted for an attacking lineup with Andriy Shevchenko, Artem Milevskyy and Andriy Yarmolenko all coming into the starting eleven. The visitors started brightly and took a fifth-minute lead through Taras Mykhalyk. The Nerazzurri levelled matters twenty minutes later via Serbian midfield player Dejan Stanković, but found themselves a goal behind once more on 40 minutes following Lucio's own goal. Three minutes after the interval Internazionale equalised again thanks to Walter Samuel's header. Dynamo pushed forward in search of a winner and gave Inter’s goalkeeper Júlio César a couple of nervous moments. At the other end of the pitch, though, the hosts upped the pressure as well and tested Dynamo custodian with dangerous strikes. As a result, Suazo did put the ball in the net in added time, but his effort was ruled offside.
The two sides will cross swords again in Kyiv in two weeks. The match will take place at the Lobanovskyy Dynamo stadium on Wednesday, 4 November, with the traditional kick-off at 21.45 (local time).
