CONTEXT

Dynamo Kyiv hosted Qarabağ in the first leg of their two-legged tie and secured a 1-0 victory. The home side took the lead before halftime and maintained their advantage despite holding only 39 percent possession compared to the visitors 61 percent. Qarabağ were reduced to ten men after receiving a red card which limited their ability to mount a sustained response in the second period. Dynamo Kyiv defended resolutely to preserve the narrow margin and claim the win on the night. The stronger-rated side on paper ultimately fell short after the dismissal altered the flow of play. The single goal proved decisive in a match where chances remained limited overall.
