Sheriff Tiraspol captured their first three points in Europa League's group stage with a 2-0 victory on home soil against much more experienced Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday, Info-Prim Neo reports. A goal scored by Alexandr Erohin on 8 minutes following a grave mistake by Dynamo goalie Denis Boiko gave the hosts an early lead. Half an hour later, Evgen Khacheridi touched the ball with his hand in the box and the Czech referee Jiri Jech awarded a penalty kick, which Sheriff's Brazilian striker Jimmy Franca didn't miss. In the second half, Sheriff showed a great defense game and were even close to a third goal when Edgars Gauracs came one-on-one with Boiko. The late minutes of the game were marked by a broil sparked by the Ukrainian supporters. After the game, Dynamo coach Valeri Gazzaev recognized Sheriff were better on the pitch. On the other side, Andrei Sosnitski admitted the victory was partly due to luck and partly to a bad day of the rivals. In the other game of the group, BATE (Belarus) stunned AZ Alkmaar (Holland) 4-1, taking the lead in Group E with 4 points. AZ and Sheriff share the 2nd and 3rd spots with 3 points, and Dynamo occupy the bottom place with a singe point. The next round will be played on October 21, when Sheriff will host BATE, and AZ Alkmaar will encounter Dynamo Kyiv.
