Last Wednesday, August 21, in the first match of the Champions League qualifying round, Dynamo Kyiv lost to Salzburg Austria 0-2. Here is the post-match press conference of the Ukrainian team's head coach Oleksandr Shovkovsky.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi- In my opinion, the final result does not reflect the course of events in today's match. We had great opportunities to score, and more than one goal. But, unfortunately, we failed to do so today.
- The first and second halves were very different, including in terms of the weather. How well did the home preparations work, given all the conditions in which you had to play?
- I don't know how well it worked, and I can't tell you what the weather was like. There were moments, in particular, in the first half, when the score was 0-0, we had two pretty good chances to score.
We also had opportunities in the second half. But again, an unfortunate mistake at the moment when a penalty kick was awarded in our goal. The foul on Yarmolenko is one hundred percent, I don't know where the referee was looking in that episode, and VAR cannot review it because it was not in the penalty area.
