Artem Milevskiy and Ismael Bangoura often seem to have a telepathic connection with each other on the pitch. On Saturday the Dynamo striker duo combined for all three goals, and shockingly two missed penalties, as the visitors defeated struggling Tavriya in Simferopol. Goalkeeper Stanyslav Bohush had his streak of not conceding in league [...]

Porto goakeeper Nuno didn’t do his homework. Watching Oleksandr Aliyev line up for a 30 meter free kick from the left wing, the veteran Portugese should have known what the Dynamo midfielder produced from that exact spot less than a month ago. As the delivery came in, Nuno reacted towards his near post, [...]
