Kiev\'s "Dynamo", having lost yesterday to Spanish "Real Sociedad" (0:3) in the 6th round of the Europa League, lost its chances of advancing to the tournament\'s playoffs.
Recall that according to the regulations of this tournament, teams finishing in the 1st to 8th places qualify directly for the Round of 16 of the Europa League, while the other eight spots for this stage will be contested in playoff matches between the teams finishing in the 9th to 24th positions.
"Dynamo", with two rounds left in the group stage of the Europa League, occupies the last, 36th place in the standings, having not earned a single point. They are 7 points away from the 24th position, which means this spot is already unattainable for "Dynamo".
At the same time, "Dynamo" became the first team to be "knocked out" of the group stage of the Europa League: all other participants in the tournament currently below 24th place still have a chance at the playoffs.
