The decisive blow in the super heavyweight for the charges of Mircea Lucescu was at the expense of Vitaly Buyalsky.

Unlike the confrontation between Donetsk Shakhtar and Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv, the two-legged battle between Belgian Bruges and Dynamo Kiev, after the first game at NSC Olimpiyskiy in the Ukrainian capital (1: 1), was far from resolved. Mircea Lucescu’s team showed controversial football at home, so perhaps they felt some discomfort before the return match. After all, with the away ball advantage, it was clearly easier for Philippe Clement’s men to prepare for the home game.
Yes, and the weekend’s match within the national championship of the “black-blue” was clearly easier than that of its rivals: it is unlikely that Heverly Louvain with Chernihiv Desna can compare, although frontal collisions for an accurate assessment of the Balance of power between teams has never been in history. As a result, two consecutive draws with an equally depressing 1: 1 score for Kiev fans did not seriously put pressure on the psychology of Mircea Lucescu’s charges.
The city of Bruges welcomed the teams entering the Jan Breidel stadium field with a light rain, which after the break turned into a solid downpour. The owners of the arena were better prepared for that climate, which is natural, so in the first half there was no need to speak positively about the Dynamo Kiev game. The difficult access to attack significantly hindered the guests in their plans to impose their game on their opponents. In fact, Mignolet did not come into play until halftime.
On the other hand, there were not so many shots in the direction of the Ukrainian team’s goal that could go through an acceptable result, but the perception of this “achievement” was influenced by three factors: the time remaining until the end of the match. , the need to score without fail and the notorious lack of ownership over the situation. The problem was that the scripts for the second half stayed the same for a long time. The Dynamo were afraid to take the initiative into their own hands, so the rivals had a chance to take the lead immediately after the break, but Buschan defended his goal intact.
It turned out that to achieve success in the attack, Lucescu needed Nikolai Shaparenko on the football field. He came out to replace Shepelev only in the 67th minute, but how did the Kievans move in attack after that! In one of the first touchdowns, the midfielder was able to open the scoring, but with a kick from the entrance to the left side of the penalty area, he could not get past Mignolet. Fortunately, the “blue and white” by that time already had some initiative in controlling the ball, but the goal was too far away.
There were no scoring chances from either side for a long time, so I had to involuntarily think about a possible fiasco. However, Gerson’s subtle launch to the right flank of the penalty area in the 83rd minute, which Tsygankov managed to develop with a cross into the goalkeeper’s area on Buyalsky, changed the perception of the Dynamo game from the root. The tactic of playing on hold from the ball turned out to be useful that night, and the Belgian opponents were unable to create anything else on the doorstep of the Ukrainian team.
The final whistle of Serbian referee Srdjan Jovanovic sent to the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
