Italian journalists praised Artem Dovbyk for the goal he scored, which helped “Roma” achieve their first victory in the Europa League, but overall, they were dissatisfied with the performance of the Romans, who practically created no dangerous moments in this match. Local media report that there is immense pressure on Ivan Juric because the results of “Roma” and, especially, their play, do not please the fans and club management, so any unsuccessful result in the upcoming matches could impact Juric and his position at “Roma”.
La Repubblica
“Dovbyk saves “Roma” from another disgrace”, - the journalist of La Repubblica is surprised by the weak performance of the Italians in the match against “Dynamo”, which fielded an experimental lineup.
— Just a small moment of pathetic happiness. A small flash, a result that can be pleasing if you didn’t see the game. But on the field, everything looked very gloomy, practically nothing was created by both teams. “Roma” is doing everything they can at this moment, or maybe they can’t do much at all. Rather, even very little. A lackluster game, problems in attack and defense, difficulties in understanding between players remain. Unfortunately, they seem impossible to eliminate. In any case, as long as Ivan Juric is working with the team, he has not been able to improve the team's game.
The most telling moment was the reaction of the fans who left the stadium dissatisfied despite “Roma”'s victory. It is clear that this is not one of those cases where a victory brings joy. Rather, it raised even more questions about Juric’s performance.
Sport Mediaset
“Dovbyk gives “Roma” their first European joy”, - the journalist from Sport Mediaset notes that the victory was relatively easy and confident for the Romans, but there were few moments in the match, so the fans remained dissatisfied with “Roma”'s game.
— On the third matchday of the Europa League, “Roma” defeated Kyiv's “Dynamo” with a score of 1:0 and achieved their first victory in the tournament. Juric, as announced, gave the leaders a break. Dybala came on in the second half, Dovbyk was substituted almost immediately after the break. The match's outcome was decided in the 23rd minute: Baldanci ran past Mikhavko, who held him by the shirt. A fair penalty, which Dovbyk calmly converted. “Giallorossi” did not play perfectly in defense, as there were opportunities for Tymchyk and Guerrero to score, but the Ukrainians' inaccuracies and Svilar's reliable play saved Juric, who has recently been under immense pressure as fans are calling for the club's management to dismiss the coaching staff.
In the second half, the Romans calmly controlled the game, needing to score a second goal, but a brilliant opportunity was missed by Shomurodov. It can be said that in this way they atoned for their defeat against “Elfsborg”. However, “Roma”'s performance is still far from ideal.
Fanta Calcio
“Dovbyk helps achieve an important success for "Roma", - a journalist from Fanta Calcio notes the important role of the Ukrainian forward in the recent matches of the Roman club, but believes that the team has become overly dependent on Dovbyk.
— In this way, “Giallorossi” achieved a fundamental victory in their progress in the Europa League and continue the fight for advancement to the next round. Juric's team faced some difficulties at the start: Kyiv's “Dynamo” closed off all free space very well. The match came to life in the 23rd minute when Dovbyk converted a penalty after Mikhavko grabbed a “Roma” player by the shirt. Immediately after this, the Ukrainians were close to equalizing through a mistake by Leo Fe in defense, which initiated the opponent's counterattack, but Tymchyk's shot went just past the goal.
In the second half, the guests did not pose much of a threat, but the “Giallorossi” were several times close to doubling their lead, thanks to moments created for Shomurodov, who had recently appeared. However, he was not very accurate, proving this was fair. In the end of the match, nothing special happened: “Roma” defeated Kyiv's “Dynamo” with a score of 1:0, but this is not quite the victory that fans expected to see in a match against such an opponent.
