Dynamo Kyiv upsets FC Porto 2-0, in Champions League
Earnest JohnsonNov 28, 2015
Dynamo, whose former president Hrigoriy Surkis is a UEFA vice president, will play in an empty stadium against Maccabi Tel Aviv on 9 December.
Goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Derlis Gonzalez give Dynamo Kyiv a 2-0 win at Porto in their Champions League tie, as an Iker Casillas error doubles the visitors’ lead.
“In the second half we should have played more with our heads, not with our hearts, so we were not able to surpass an opponent that, in the end, was a deserved victor”.
Dynamo is trying to avoid its 11th straight group exit since it last advanced 16 years ago.
Dynamo made a deserved breakthrough in the 35th minute.
The visitors won a penalty away on 34 minutes when Gianelli Imbula brought down Serhiy Rybalka in the penalty area.
Porto skipper Ruben Neves tested Shovkovskiy from 20 yards, and Casillas was forced into another fine save to tip Yarmolenko’s drive over the crossbar just before half-time.
Substitute Andre Andre hit the woodwork in a late Porto flurry, but it was a weak response from the hosts who were jeered off the field by a disgruntled Dragao crowd.
