Football expert Andriy Shakhov commented on the result of the first match of the Champions League playoff qualifying round between Dynamo and Salzburg (0:2).
Andriy Shakhov"A bad first half, but a very decent second half, which, however, the team also lost. The reason is trivial - very poor execution. You must admit that we created enough chances (though there were no fewer near our goal). Yarmolenko and Vanat, Popov and Shaparenko had chances to score, and Bragaru had the best chance, but, unlike the Austrian vice-champion, we failed to score even once.
I wouldn't call it a failure in this case, despite two shots on goal (Karavaev's in the first half at 0:1 and Popov's at the end of the match). There was not enough skill, nervousness, and accuracy. Our team responded to six shots on target by the Austrians with only three...
It's too early to sprinkle your head with ashes, there is a return match ahead, and in Glasgow, let me remind you, Dynamo won just 2-0. The match confirmed that Salzburg's defense is far from perfect, and this can be used in the second game, but we need to avoid such mistakes and improve our performance.
They say that if you have chances, the goals will come. Let's believe that this rule will work in a week," Bankova Mail quoted Shakhov as saying.
