Dynamo Kyiv Head Coach Shovkovskyi Applauds Team’s Tactical Discipline After European Victory
Kyiv, Ukraine – September 5, 2025
Following Dynamo Kyiv’s narrow 1–0 triumph over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Conference League playoff, head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi commended his squad’s tactical discipline and mental resilience during a tense post-match press conference.
“We executed our game plan with precision,” Shovkovskyi stated. “The players showed tremendous focus and commitment throughout the 90 minutes. This kind of discipline is exactly what we need to succeed at the European level.”
The win secures Dynamo’s place in the Conference League group stage, marking a significant milestone in the club’s continental campaign. The match was decided by a second-half strike from midfielder Volodymyr Brazhko, whose performance drew praise from both fans and analysts.
Shovkovskyi also highlighted the contributions of the younger players, noting that their integration into the senior squad reflects the club’s long-term development strategy.
“We’re building not just for today, but for the future,” he added. “Seeing our academy graduates step up in high-pressure moments is incredibly rewarding.”
Dynamo Kyiv will learn their group stage opponents later this week, with anticipation building among supporters eager to see the club challenge Europe’s rising contenders.
