Universitatea head coach Cristiano Bergodi expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the first leg in the Europa League qualifying round against Dynamo Kyiv, which ended in a goalless draw.
This is a good result for us. We studied our opponent well and understood how the Dynamo players operate. We also had attacking opportunities today and created scoring chances, so I am satisfied. Cristiano Bergodi
Bergodi emphasized that despite the stalemate, the tie remains finely balanced. He believes the chances of advancing are still equal, although the result provides his side with renewed optimism ahead of the away fixture.
The chances are still 50-50, but today's result certainly gives us more hope for reaching the next round. However, we must not forget that Dynamo has many qualified players who can influence the game. For example, Buyalskyi. So, the return leg will not be easy for us. Cristiano Bergodi
The manager also extended his gratitude to the fans for their support during the match. The decisive second leg, which will determine who advances to the next stage of the tournament, is scheduled for July 16.
