Another goal of Karavaev in this European Cup season? A good goal scored. Dubinchak shot well, and the ball landed on Oleksandr's leg, who opened the scoring in the meeting. Karavaev did not play a defender in this fight. Sasha, in the match with Sturm, played in the position in which he used to play all the time. Karavaev scored a good goal, hit the goal on the fly!
What are the chances of success in the return match? There are always chances. Previously, a 1-0 win was better than a 2-1 win. But the away goal rule was cancelled. It will be hard. But the chances are good for the people of Kiev, somewhere 50 to 50. Maybe Lucescu will come up with something again,” said Nagornyak.
