One of the best players of the match against Aris was Kyiv left-back Vladyslav Dubinchak. He was very active throughout the match and extra time in Bucharest.

In fact, this left Kyiv in the game. Earned a sending-off for Domagoj Pavicic. He converted the penalty when it was already down to the first miss.
Of course, Vlada is also to blame for the missed goal. Because the ball came from his flank, he was unable to block it. The right-back and centre-backs are equally to blame.
The national teams' matches in the qualifiers for Euro 2024 start very soon. I believe that Vladyslav Dubinchak not only deserves a call-up to the national team, but will also have a chance to compete for a place in the squad.
Vitalii Mykolenko has not played for Everton yet. The former Dynamo defender did not train with the team for the season due to injury. He was also absent in the first round against Fulham. I can assume that Toffees coach Sean Dyche does not really count on the left-back from Ukraine. Mykolenko's problems in Liverpool began in the spring.
Eduard Sobol is also injured. He has problems with his shin. He did not play in the first round of the French championship against Lyon. Last season, Eduard made a move from Brugge to Strasbourg. In France, he did not become one hundred per cent himself. The team was fighting for survival. In the summer, the legendary Patrick Vieira took over Strasbourg. It is still very difficult to say anything about Sable's prospects under the new coach.
In the summer, Bohdan Mykhailichenko joined Dinamo Zagreb. "Shakhtar did not buy out his contract, and Anderlecht did not need him. Zagreb has Robert Ljubić at left-back. Bohdan gets playing practice in the middle of the field. Dinamo Zagreb is currently in a bit of a crisis. They lost in the first round of the derby to Hajduk, then failed to win against Gorica. At home, they lost to AEK in the Champions League qualifiers - 1-2. The team is definitely not "wow" yet.
Viktor Kornienko kicked a lot in the last league match against Dnipro-1. That's why he was disqualified. Patrick van Leeuwen transferred winger Dmytro Topalov to this position. We brought in a young Brazilian, Pedrinho. Now there is information that the Georgian Irakli Azorov from Red Star Crvena Zvezda. Kornienko's prospects look very vague.
Kostiantyn Vivcharenko was the main left-back for the Ukrainian youth team at Euro 2023 (U-21). He can play in the next selection. In the opening matches of the new season, he came on at the very end of the game against Obolon. Kostya's playing conditions cannot be good.
