Kyiv's "Dynamo" faced the Czech team "Victoria" in the fifth round of the main phase of the Europa League and suffered another defeat.
In the first half, the opponent had more chances to score, but the Kyiv team responded with some opportunities of their own.
At the beginning of the second half, the Dynamo players even scored a goal, but the referees disallowed it due to a bizarre offside by Oleksandr Vivcharenko.
Almost immediately, "Victoria" launched a counter-attack that ended with a precise long-range shot into the Dynamo net.
All attempts to recover were in vain, while the opponents created numerous threats, converting their chances into another goal towards the end of the match.
With the score at 0:2, "Victoria" began to defend, and "Dynamo" managed to score their first goal in this Europa League season, but that stunning long-range strike from Vladyslav Kabaiev had no impact on the final result.
