Former midfielder of Kyiv "Dynamo" Sergey Mizin shared his impressions of his former team’s match against Rome’s "Roma" (0:1) in the group stage of the Europa League.
"Considering the experimental lineup of the Kyiv team and that they were hardly playing with three central defenders at this level for the first time, their performance left a decent impression. It cannot be said that the Romans had a noticeable advantage in any phase of the game. The other thing is that there were again errors in defense, and the attackers remained off target. Simply put, their execution skills are lacking, and this has resulted in a 'goal drought.'
The Dynamo players had every chance to go home with points if it weren’t for a rookie mistake by stopper Taras Mikhavko. He seems to be in a prolonged bad streak: two own goals, and now he 'gifted' a penalty. And this is just the start of the season.
Do the Kyiv team still have a chance to advance to the next round of the Europa League after three consecutive losses? Yes, but they must definitely start earning their points. In particular, in the upcoming match against Hungarian "Ferencváros," which cannot boast such successes in European competitions as the Dynamo players,” said Mizin.
