A week ago, Ukrainian football fans remained upset due to the defeat of Dynamo Kiev in the first match of the third round of the UEFA Champions League against Cyprus Paphos (0: 1). An additional negative background also created the fact that Alexander Shovkovsky’s team conceded to a formally “own” field in Lublin, while the match had to go to the island country to a climate, in which even the locals did not want to play football.

Yes, the Cyprus Championship has not started yet, while the Ukrainian national championship has already been able to repent the starting two rounds. But with regard to their third game against Kamianets-Podilsky epicenter, the people of Kiev were uncertain-so difficult was to leave at peak temperature +37 ° C on a game day.

It was difficult to imagine a worse start for Dynamo in this game than the one that eventually took place. “White-blue” already in the second minute took some incomprehensible actions on the left flank of their own penalty during throwing from depth, after which the shot of Tankovich into an empty gate on the distant directed Orshich. Given that we all saw how much excess moisture was on the stadium in Cyprus, this goal was aroused.

Which eventually turned into a continuous despair from the game of the Shovkovsky team in the first half in general. A very weak game in defense, especially on the Dubinchak flank, as well as only one serious moment at the strange gate for the team for the team, which, in general, and without the missed ball in this game should be played. And that the Cypriots were left to do besides just pull the threads and, if not disturbed, just keep the game under their own control all the time.

We will be honest, there was little hope for such a game before the break that something would go for the better after the team rest. Little, but they stayed. Exactly up to 55 minutes, when the serving of Orshich from the left flank of the penalty area on the distant completed the blow in the fall from Correa. That’s when it was right – Dynamo got a knockout blow.

And even the moment Kabayev in a moment on the right flank of the penalty area, when Vladislav rolled past the near steady instead of the belt on the empty for Vanata, he did not improve the mood. If such occasions have the team of Shovkovsky in actually dead for her game managed to waste, then what can be the question at all?

The further development of the events clearly demonstrated that Paphos did not pay attention to the team opposite this evening. Dynamo defense was stretched through the flanks as soon as they could, and she cracks at the seams every time the opponents were raising the pace. And the moments of the Cypriots to bring the case to the devastating … Oh! There were a lot of them. And if the owners of the fields, at least a little, would want to produce a Ukrainian club, they would certainly do it. But for such heat, even the pathos of playing to the end was not desired, while “white and blue” even some primitive anger never woke up. It should not be so.
