Dynamo Kyiv hosted Pafos FC on August 5, 2025, at the Motor Lublin Arena in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, marking the first-ever competitive encounter between the two clubs[1][3][6].
Both teams fielded their strongest available lineups, with Dynamo Kyiv starting notable players such as Andriy Yarmolenko, Vladyslav Vanat, and Mykola Shaparenko. The game statistics reflected a tightly contested match, with neither side able to break the deadlock despite several attempts[3].
Dynamo Kyiv entered the fixture after a mixed run of form, winning three of their previous six matches. Pafos also came into the match in competitive shape, but they too were unable to convert their opportunities on the night[4].
This result leaves the tie open ahead of the return leg, with both clubs still in contention to advance in Champions League qualification[6].
