    Teams should be reversed - Rapid is on the road.

    Boyd with an early goal on the counter. Great ball across and nice finish.

    Rapid one point behind DK for second place. If Rapid wins, they're on to the next round. Lose or tie, and they're out. Tough job on the road in Kiev.

    Didn't realize the situation - that makes Boyd's goal even bigger.

    Lens shrugs off a defender in the box and equalizes on the set piece.

    1-1

    DK dominating since Boyd's goal and final break through off a set piece in the 22nd minute. Some poor defending by Rapid. All knotted up 1-1. Time for more Boyd magic!

    Another for Dynamo. 2-1. Very tough hill to climb now.

    Yeah that second goal seemed like it was coming too. Rapid definitely second best so far.

    Rapid getting bossed. The defend and counter strategy only works if you defend first. :)

    Rapid with a GREAT chance squandered. Rapid player went for power over placement and fired it right at the keeper's leg for a kick save. Wide open and could've picked any corner. Gotta convert those down 1 on the road in a must-win game. Boyd with some good holdup play and a nice run to draw defenders away in the build-up to that one.

    Rapid's defenders are easily getting shoved around.

    Wow - Rapid almost equalize again. Really open game with goals to be had on both sides. Pretty fun to watch.

    Yep, Rapid closed out the half pretty well. THe middle 20 minutes were tough, but I feel like they're still in it. They need to pull one back early in the 2nd half (Captain Obvious Alert).

    Dynamo get a 3rd on a FK. Ballgame. Good Europa campaign for Boyd. Would've been nice to advance.

    Rapid Vienna is not too rapid
