In the first match of the fourth qualifying round of the Champions League, Dynamo Kyiv defeated Belgian Gent (2: 1). The Belgian media spoke in detail about the match, sharing their opinion on the chances of the “buffalo” to enter the group stage of the tournament.
“Gent” must wait for a miracle: Bezus’ red card torpedoed Buffalo’s chances of reaching the Champions League “, – read the title of the edition Nieuwsblad.be.
“To advance to the UEFA Champions League group stage, Gent must score two goals against Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday. There is not much hope that the Buffaloes will avoid relegation to the Europa League after a 1: 2 home loss.
The captain of “Gent”, Vadis Odija-Ofoe, spoke quite categorically before the game: “Dynamo” Kiev is a test to understand whether “Gent” is worthy of the Champions League. The Dynamo is a team that punishes mistakes without mercy. “Well, then Gentu has no place in the Champions League.
In less than ten minutes into the game, Gent’s main goal, to keep his goal clean, failed. Karavaev easily passed the opponent and passed to Buyalsky, whose pass reached Supryaga. And since Plastun stayed in the zone, it turned out that the Dynamo forward had escaped from an offside position, although this required VAR intervention.
Meanwhile, the sky was crying. Dynamo head coach Mircea Lucescu, a 75-year-old cunning fox, threw a towel over his head, as if imitating Mother Teresa (the famous Catholic nun, also known for her original headdress – ed.). However, it turned out that there was no need to pray. Gent played too carefully not to fall into the trap of the Kiev team. It turned out that only the Dynamo can do something with the ball. Especially often, the Ukrainians broke through on the right flank of “Ghent”.
There were three Ukrainians in Ghent’s starting lineup. Plastun played for Obolon, a small club from Kiev. The other two, Bezus and Yaremchuk, had the experience of playing for the Dynamo, but could not reveal themselves there, becoming the main losers of the evening.
At first, the player left the game, who was finally able to prove that Dynamo should have given him more chances – Yaremchuk. He was substituted in the middle of the first half due to injury.
Fortunately, it was Tim Kleindinst, who replaced him, who brought Gent back into the game. The hosts showed themselves in the last quarter of the first half, especially Bezus tried. First, he hit Buschan on his own, then won a corner kick, from which Kleindinst scored.
But the knight’s joy was short-lived. The hope that had exploded was buried by Bezus. She was lucky to only receive a yellow card for a foul on Shaparenko. But early in the second half, Bezus received a stupid second warning, and for almost 40 minutes Gent was left with ten men.
Dynamo looked for their opportunity in the attack, they could not avoid the inevitable. The luck that accompanied “Gent” in the match against “Rapid” was far from the hosts. The ball, after being hit by Tsygankov, hit De Pena with a rebound off Plastun’s leg. He pushed the ball between Rufus’ legs – 1: 2.
Of course, nothing is impossible, but scoring twice in Kiev for a team that will lower the “iron curtain” without the slightest embarrassment seems like an impossible mission. Unless a miracle happens, the conclusion suggests that Gent will continue to play in the Europa League, ”he writes. Nieuwsblad.be.
“The Champions League is far away: ten buffaloes against Dynamo Kiev, – says the title of the post Voetbalkrant.com.
Gent wanted to secure a good start before the return leg in Ukraine, but had to do without Sven Kums, who did not have time to recover from a shin injury suffered in a duel with Mouscron last Saturday.
Ghent coach Wim de Dekker was expected to prefer futsal, but after less than ten minutes of play, things did not go as planned. Supryaga took advantage of a cross from the left wing, the Ghent defense did not look very good at the time.
The VAR confirmed the validity of the scored goal – 0: 1. Even at half time, Yaremchuk had to leave the field due to injury, and immediately after the break, Bezus received a second yellow card, leaving his team in the minority.
It was not a day for the Ukrainian footballers at the Belgian club. However, the other Buffalo players weren’t much better. Goalkeeper Rufu had to come into play several times to save his team from a goal.
However, Gent went into halftime with the score 1: 1 thanks to backup Kleindinst, who made one of the Buffaloes’ rare moments.
De Dekker reacted to the dismissal by transferring two players to the support zone, attempting to “put the bus on”. But after a successful rebound, the ball ended up at De Pena’s feet, who fired between Rufu’s legs. It will be very difficult for Gent in Ukraine if the Belgian club still wants to get into the Champions League ”, he comments on the match Voetbalkrant.com.
“The dream of the Champions League seems to have ended after a cold shower in Ghent.”, – the portal is sad VoetbalNieuws.be.
“It looks like Ghent’s UEFA Champions League campaign will end in the fourth qualifying round. On Wednesday night, the Buffaloes lost 1: 2 to Dynamo Kiev. Of course there will be a comeback match next week, but if Gent can’t reach a higher level then this fight already seems redundant.
Not ten minutes had passed since the start of the game when the Buffaloes took their first serious blow. After a failed defensive game, Supryaga scored from close range. The goal was not initially conceded for offside position, but VAR intervened. After that, the affairs of “Ghent” were even worse. Yaremchuk had to leave the field earlier than planned due to injury. Only at the end of the first half did the locals manage to take the initiative. Substitute Kleindinst scored off a Dorsch corner kick.
The hosts deserved a break during the break, but after the start of the second half everything went wrong again. Bezus received a second yellow card, leaving his team with ten men. This was reflected over the course of the game: the Dynamo had more ball possession and tried to extract moments from it. And the Kievists’ tactics paid off. In the 78th minute, the ball successfully rebounded to De Penet, who hit the target through Rufus’ legs.
Gent, playing in the minority, could not change the course of the match. The guests, in turn, continued to push, but failed to create serious moments either. It didn’t end too bad for the Buffaloes. But they need to significantly improve their level of play if they want to score two goals in Ukraine next week, ”he writes VoetbalNieuws.be.
In general, the Belgian media have little faith that Ghent can achieve a positive result in Kiev’s game against the Dynamo. In addition, the press points to the unsuccessful match of three Ukrainian footballers of “Gent” against the Kiev team.
