In the group stage home opener, Dynamo Kyiv took a point in a match with Portugal’s Benfica, leaving the pitch with a 0-0 draw.

Despite Benfica’s overall domination throughout both halves, it was Dynamo who could steal the win at stoppage time.

Mykola Shaparenko has first hit the crossbar from outside the box and in a minute drove the crowd at the Olympiyskyi Arena ecstatic diligently finishing a neat cross. Unfortunately for Dynamo, the video review disallowed the goal due to offside in the offensive buildup.
