European Football Champions' League, third qualifying round, second leg match: RED STAR Belgrade (Yugoslavia) - DINAMO Kiev (Ukraine) 1-1 (1-1)
Belgrade, August 23 - Yugoslav champions Red Star Belgrade failed to advance to the UEFA Champions' League as they drew 1-1 with Ukrainian FC Dinamo Kiev in Belgrade (first match in Kiev 0-0).
The Yugoslavs controlled much of the first
period, and their reward came in the 23rd
minute when Goran Drulic held off the
challenge of Yuriy Dmytrulin to spread the
ball wide to his left into the path of Branko
Boskovic, who hit the ball left-footed and
low past Vyacheslav Kernozenko in the
Dinamo goal from 16 metres. However,
Red Star failed to hold onto their lead,
and gifted Dinamo their equaliser and crucial
away goal after 33 minutes when they failed
to clear the ball from defence, and
Aliaksandr Khatskevich seized possession to pass to
Valiantsin Bialkevich to lob over the diving Aleksandar Kocic
from ten metres.
Dinamo managed to retain possession for long periods during
the opening exchanges of the second period as the home
side's onslaught on the Ukrainian goal failed to materialise.
Red Star gradually fought their way back into the game
as their midfield and attack belatedly found some forward
momentum in the final 20 minutes of the match. Ivan
Gvozdenovic's 20-metre shot was narrowly over
Kernozenko's goal as Dinamo's defence retreated in the 70th
minute. Then Milenko Acimovic shot inches wide of the target
with a low shot from the left corner of the penalty area in
three minutes later as the Yugoslavs became gradually more
desperate. But Dinamo held on as they soaked up all Red Star had to offer with substitute Dragan Stevanovic firing wide with the last chance of the match four minutes from time.
