If Dinamo Zagreb were reeling at conceding first after dominating proceedings from the first whistle, they didn’t show it as they had not only equalised less than 10 minutes later, but have continued to outplay their more experienced opponents well into the interval. Olmo, who has tormented the Shakhtar backline throughout the opening half along with Orsic and Gavranovic, cancelled out Konoplyanka’s opener after sustained Zagreb pressing and possession, and Bjelica will be pleased at his side’s efforts. Castro, on the other hand, knows that his team can do better, and the likes of Taison and Konoplyanka will be key in their quest to keep the pressure on group leaders Manchester City.
