In the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, Kyiv's Dynamo in Rome drew with Lazio.

Dynamo was the first Ukrainian giants to visit Rome in March. If Shakhtar's match with Roma in the Champions League next week is decisive, Kyiv's Lazio will play only the first match, so they will finally clarify relations on March 15 in Kyiv at the Olimpiysky National Sports Complex in the return match.

At the Roman stadium of the same name, the vice-champions of Ukraine spent most of the first half in defense, and several times during the attacks of the Romans they were frankly lucky. Closer to the break, Kyiv gradually established combination actions, and at the beginning of the second half took the lead. After a discount by Artem Besedin's head, Viktor Tsygankov tamed the ball and hit it well with his heel. It took the hosts only two minutes to recover - Felipe Anderson assisted Immobile. And soon the Brazilian himself scored, who caused a lot of trouble to the white and blues this evening. 2: 1.

But Kyiv did not give up, and Moraes, who started the match in reserve, equalized with a beautiful shot from afar. Assisted by the Dynamo striker Tsygankov, who is showing excellent results this spring.

In the starting lineup of Oleksandr Khatskevich's team there were six players of the national team of Ukraine - Boyko, Buyalsky, Tsygankov (goal and goal pass), Garmash, Morozyuk, Besedin (goal pass). They all played a full match. In Boyko's liabilities - a warning, Garmash - withdrawal for conversations after the final whistle.
