Dynamo Kyiv dominated BSC Young Boys, 3-1. They will need to stay at the top level as Young Boys had overcome a similar two-goal handicap to Shakhtar Donetsk in the last season. In that regard, half a dozen wasted chances could come back to bite them. The UEFA competition debutante, Olimpik Donetsk, drew PAOK Thessaloniki of Greece, 1-1. And, to be honest, PAOK may have deserved a win more than Olimpik Oleksandriya had to overcome playing a man short for the last 15 minutes to Astra Giurgiu to pull out an all-important away draw, 0-0.
