After a minimal defeat (0:1) in the first leg, which took place in Lublin, Poland, "Dynamo" aimed to recover on the Cypriot field of "Paфos."

However, as early as the 2nd minute, the hosts capitalized on the visitors' defensive disorganization and opened the scoring — Orshich scored. Midway through the first half, "Paфos" had an opportunity to double their lead, but Correa, one-on-one with Nescheret, shot over the bar. "Dynamo" had a chance from a penalty kick, but goalkeeper Brazyk saved the shot.

At the start of the second half, high pressing by the Cypriot players in the visitors' penalty area resulted in another goal: Orshich played a through ball to Correa, who touched it past the goalkeeper from an acute angle to make it 2:0. Almost immediately, Kabaev could have restored some hope, but after receiving a pass from Yarmolenko, he shot over the bar one-on-one with the keeper. From the 60th minute onwards, "Dynamo" switched to playing with two strikers — Guerrero came on, yet this tactical move by Oleksandr Shovkovskiy did not yield results.

2:0 — "Paфos" progresses further, while "Dynamo" is eliminated from the play-off round of the Europa League and will face the winner of the Hibernians (Malta) – Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel) tie. The first leg ended with an away victory for the Israelis (2:1), and the return match will take place on Thursday, August 14.

The play-off round matches of the Europa League are scheduled for August 21 and 28. Winners advance to the main stage of the Europa League. Teams that lose at this stage continue their campaign in the main stage of the Conference League.
