Former defender of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team Volodymyr Yezersky named the reasons for the victory of Kiev in Graz.
— An experienced Lucescu knows how to prepare a team in the off-season. Physically, the team is well prepared. But these official games, victorious ones at that, give confidence to the players. All this bears fruit. Dynamo players have potential and it shows. It is important that there was an end to the attack.
Lucescu guessed right with the substitutions. At the gates of the hosts, moments began to arise frequently. I can say that in extra time, Dynamo already controlled the course of the match. A very important goal was scored by Konstantin Vivcharenko. Vanat was also active, although he lacked experience in such games. And after the removal of the Sturm player, the people of Kiev had to bring the game to their victory. Which they did with success,” said the expert.
