Wards Alexander Khatskevich did not cope with the task of reaching the group stage of the Champions League, going around the world with Ajax (0: 0).

In Kiev, the return match of the round of the playoff qualification of the Champions League took place, in which the local Dynamo hosted the Amsterdam Ajax. In the previous week, the Kiev team lost to the opponent in two goals scored, so in the reporting match they had to win only with a comfortable advantage in the account. Alexander Khatskevich presented a surprise, releasing from the first minutes of the young Suprugu, who never went out in the start even in the ULL, as the match showed, Vladislav was not quite ready for a duel of this level.

Immediately after the starting whistle, Dynamo took the ball under his control and could score a quick goal after Verbich touched the ball into the goal after transferring Tsygankov, but Onana was on top and saved her team. After that, the hosts still for a while owned the ball, and then completely gave it to the opponent, who cleanly replayed the Ukrainian team in the first 45-minute. Amsterdamers were given an excellent opportunity to lead the game relatively quickly in the account due to a questionably earned penalty, but Tadic retained the intrigue in the confrontation without realizing an 11-meter.

After this, the wards of Eric ten Haga did not despair and continued to monitor the game, from time to time threatening the gate Boyko. The Netherlands could break away on several goals scored in the first half, but they were let down by the realization, Huntelaar had to score first after Weber's discount, but the striker did not get on goal from close range. A little later, van de Beec had even better opportunity to score, but also missed from the advantageous position, and in the end of the first half of the meeting all the same Huntelaar failed to realize a one-on-one way, breaking right into Boyko. The hosts still held out until the break without conceding a goal and went to rest with the hope that the second half they will spend much better.

Immediately after the break, Khatskevich released Garmash on the field, counting on the strengthening of the attacking potential, and also in the hope that the ever-emotional Denis could give the team a new impetus, but with the appearance of Garmash the figure of the game of Kievians did not change significantly. Guests and in the second half controlled the course of the game, twice could score an early goal, but again the Amsterdamers were unlucky, at first Boyko dragged Mazraui's header and then again for Denis played the gate frame, now after a direct free kick from Ziech.

And without hammering an early goal, the guests continued to bend their line, spending most of the time in the foreign half of the field and occasionally punching on goal, but now their shots were past the gate. Toward the middle of the second half, Khatskevich decided to make another change in the game team, releasing Shaparenko on the field, which was supposed to tie the defensive and attacking lines, but Nikolai's output did not help the Dynamo. Over time, the Dutch seem to be tired of attacking and they gave the ball to the opponent, the Kievites tried to put pressure on Onan's possessions, but his gate was not threatened at all, without creating dangerous moments.

Closer to the end of the fight Huntelaar had several more opportunities to score, but again he was unlucky, first Klaas-Yan struck directly into Boyko from a favorable position, and then saved the gate of Dynamo instead of sending the ball into the net. The last minutes of the meeting again took place under the dictation of the guests, who controlled the course of the game and eventually brought the match to its logical conclusion. Thus, the Dynamo did not cope with its task, having conducted a frankly weak match, and its game did not deserve to reach the Champions League, so it will try its strength in the tournament lower rank - the European League.
