As a result of the draw, Maritimo in the playoffs of the Europa League will compete with Dynamo. The first match will be held on August 17 in Portugal, the return match - a week later in Ukraine.
"It is clear that it will be very difficult for Maritimo to pass the Dynamo. This team intensified this summer.
Dynamo already managed to hold several matches, because they participated in the qualification of the Champions League, "- said the coach in an interview with the club site.
"I think that Dynamo is on par with Milan - the strongest teams that could get us. I note that in order to get to Kiev, we will have to overcome more than 4 thousand kilometers, but even more we are concerned about the power of Dynamo ".
"Our rival is the favorite, but we will do everything, use our strongest strengths and fight to the death".
In the past season, Maritimo took sixth place in the championship of Portugal.
