Dinamo Kiev vs FC Universitatea Cluj

Dynamo Kyiv and Universitatea Cluj shared a goalless draw in Lublin on Wednesday, the first leg of their UEFA Europa League first qualifying round tie ending 0–0. Despite stronger recent form, the Ukrainians couldn't crack a determined Cluj side at Arena Lublin. The match lacked goals but not incident — M. Drammeh of Universitatea Cluj picked up a yellow card in the 72nd minute. Dynamo shuffled their pack midway through the second half when Vitaliy Buyalskiy was withdrawn, and Drammeh came on late for Cluj as both sides pushed for an advantage. With the tie level, everything rests on the return leg on July 16 at Cluj Arena. Dynamo Kyiv — playing home football in Poland due to the ongoing war in Ukraine — must win away to progress, while Universitatea Cluj will back themselves to see it out on home soil.
