Dynamo confidently wins Mariupol at the exit
The team of Alexander Khatskevich this time scored twice.
Within the framework of the four rounds, the white-and-blue ones on the exit won "Mariupol" - 2: 0.
Although the hosts started the match better! "Dynamo" made several mistakes in his own half, for which he almost paid a missed goal. Fortunately, it was very timely to catch the rival of his own - a stable link Tsyhankov-Verbich already worked. Victor sent from the corner, and Benjamin scored his head.
After a missed goal, the players of "Mariupol" did not even think of getting on the defensive, but tried to play as quickly as possible. Fomin, Zubkov and Fedorchuk had chances to score, but the next goal managed to score Dynamo again. After a certain chaos in the penalty mariupoltsy (which included a stroke in the counter from Butalsky), Yavorsky put his hand under Harmash's finishing - the referee put a penalty. Viktor Tsigankov did not raise the team.
Even after the 2: 0 on the scoreboard, the team continued to give the spectators a lively attacking football. After the break, Dynamo could have scored several more times with the legs of Tsyhankov, Buyalsky and Verbich. Not closed and "Mariupol".
However, more goals this evening did not fly. Instead, Oleksandr Khatskevich gave game time on the field to 19-year-old Nikolai Shaparenko (66 ') and 20-year-old Eugene Smirnoy (72').
Dynamo Kyiv won second place in the second round and its sixth overall victory in the UEFA Championship 2018/19, having scored 20 points in 9 games. It is equally important - Alexander Khatskevich's team showed spectacular football with a number of goals.
By the way, now the unprofitable series of "Mariupol" in the matches of ULL from "Dynamo" has already reached 12 matches.

Emery on how we can improve our clean-sheet record
Unai Emery is pleased with the progress his side have made since his arrival this summer, despite waiting for a first clean sheet. We have sharpened up defensively in recent weeks, only to concede late consolation goals against Newcastle and Vorskla, but our head coach remains optimistic that we are heading in the right direction. This is what he told the media ahead of Sunday’s game against Everton: on how much progress the team have made since he arrived… I think, little by little. We’ve won two matches away and that’s small progress but very important for continuing to improve our confidence. I think we are finding the balance. We need to continue working to get better in each match, individually and collectively. I am very excited to show every supporter our ideas, the exciting matches in each match, like at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Away, [I want us] to be competitive, like in our last two matches against Newcastle and Cardiff. We…
