What Happened: FK Dynamo Kyiv vs. FC Universitatea Cluj

FK Dynamo Kyiv entered the match as the heavy favorites, competing in this first qualifying round as part of their push into Europe’s second-tier competition after a Conference League campaign the prior season. FC Universitatea Cluj arrived as the Romanian underdogs, playing on neutral ground in Poland due to the ongoing conflict restricting Dynamo’s home fixtures in Ukraine.

The match played out as a competitive, tight affair across 90 minutes. Neither side could deliver the decisive blow needed to take a lead into the second leg.
