Dynamo gained an advantage before the return game.
On Wednesday, August 3, as part of the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League Kyiv “Dynamo” met with the Austrian “Sturm”.
The match was nominally at home for “Dynamo”, but was held in the Polish city of Lodz due to a full-scale Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In the first half, Dynamo had more possession, but it was not possible to create many dangerous moments near the opponent's goal. However, in the 28th minute, Vladyslav Dubinchak made a cross from the left flank, and Oleksandr Karavaev made an accurate shot into touch.
Attacker Rasmus Khoilunn was the most active in “Sturm”, but Bushchan acted confidently in the goal area of Kyiv.
In the second half, “Dynamo” continued to dominate and could increase the advantage several times, while “Sturm” began to act less sharp in attack. In the end, the score on the scoreboard did not change.
