Today in a nominally home match of the UEFA Youth League 1/16 finals, Dynamo played against Italian "Atalanta" U-19 in the Turkish city of Manavgat.

The start of the match was not favorable for the Kyivans — on the 12th minute Lorenzo Bonsignore was first to react to a save by Dynamo's goalkeeper from a powerful shot. However, after this, the Ukrainians not only equalized but also led by two goals at halftime. First, Henri Kamara scored an own goal, and then Matviy Ponomarenko and Dmytro Kremanin made it 3:1.

However, after the break, the Italians managed to level the score. Vinchenzo Damian and Kandis Fioque tied the match at 3-3 — going into a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, in that round, Atalanta was stronger — 7:6.

Thus, Kyiv's "Dynamo" concluded its participation in this year's UEFA Youth League, while "Atalanta" advanced to the Round of 16. The draw for this stage will take place on Friday, February 14, in Nyon, Switzerland.
