In the return match with Ghent, the vice-champions of Ukraine scored three dry goals'yachi. The White and Blues will take part in the main draw of the Champions League for the first time since 2016.

The starting lineup of Kyiv turned out to be the same as in the first match in Ghent. As for Mircea Lucescu's rivals, only Ihor Plastun was able to take part in the match out of the three players of the Ukrainian national team. Roman Bezus was disqualified for a week-long withdrawal from the game, and Roman Yaremchuk remained in Belgium due to health problems. Another significant loss of "Ghent" was the absence due to injury of the captain of the team Ojiji-Ofoe.

The hosts confidently started the game, earning a few free kicks in the opponent's half at the start of the match. And in the 9th minute, Dynamo took the lead. Kendzora launched a goal attack, and then Buyalsky beat Supryaga and elegantly cut the ball into the goal with his heel. 1: 0. Soon Shaparenko had a chance to double the advantage of his team, but his shot from the fly hit the post.

For some time in the first half, the initiative passed to the guests, who several times successfully applied pressure and created a number of moments at the gates of Bushchan. However, the Belgian club's players failed to dispose of them, and the Dynamo goalkeeper acted reliably. Kyiv also increased the score before the break, this time thanks to the 11-meter. After Rodriguez's shot, Plastun played with his hand, and De Pen clearly executed the penalty. Soon the referee Marchinyak once again pointed to the 11-meter mark at the gate of "Ghent", but revoked his decision after a tip from the VAR.

Ghent still failed to avoid the second penalty. Nuriu Fortuna stopped Supryaga in the second half, and Rodriguez executed the referee. The guests made a lot of efforts to score at least one goal of prestige. But Bushchan acted unsurpassed this evening. In particular, the Dynamo goalkeeper twice parried the shots close to Plastun after the corners.

The White and Blues confidently overcame the qualification and advanced to the group stage of the Champions League, which was a great achievement for them. After all, three previous attempts by Kyiv residents in 2017-2019 were unsuccessful.
