Today, November 27, Kyiv's "Dynamo" played their fourth match in the Conference League group stage — against the local club "Omonia" on Cyprus.
The white-and-blue team actively started the game, creating several sharp moments. However, gradually the play evened out, and in the second half of the first half, Cypriot players earned a penalty: Popov held an "Omonia" player by the shirt from behind, and the referee pointed to the spot. Semedo calmly converted the 11-meter kick — 1:0. Despite Kyiv's efforts, the score did not change before halftime.
At the start of the second half, Shovkovskyi's team increased their pace, but while pressing forward in attack, they conceded a quick counterattack from the opponent. Neofytos initially hit the crossbar, but he was first to arrive for the rebound and headed the ball into the net.
As a result, "Dynamo" suffered an away defeat — 0:2. After four matches in the Ukrainian championship, they have three points remaining.
