Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu commented on the victory over the Austrian Sturm (1:0) in the third round of the Champions League qualification.

" But we managed to withstand their pressure and play football, controlling the ball.. The opponents defended very well and tightly, so I can say that the match was difficult for us.. However, it was also difficult for Sturm..

They are in the best game rhythm, they have already started the championship, and we had some problems before the fight, when Tsygankov said that he felt pain and had to be replaced in the starting lineup urgently.

In general, I think we deserved this goal, because we created more chances.

While "

Too bad we couldn't score the second goal. We had opportunities for this, but we did not find a solution for scoring the end of the attacks,"

The teams will play the second leg in Austria on August 9.

The winner of the confrontation will play in the Champions League qualifying play-off round against the winner of the Benfica-Mitjylland pairing, while the loser will play in the Europa League group stage.
