Dinamo had two aims against Olympique Lyon: to keep a clean sheet and to score their first goal of this group stage. Although Plavi achieved neither, they conjured up plenty of passion and motivation. This was the moment for Dinamo's youthful prospects to showcase what they can do, as boss Ivaylo Petev selected four 19-year-olds and, in total, started with seven players aged under 24. Dinamo has the youngest team in the UEFA Champions League group stage and here they revealed glimpses of their potential.

The moment which decided the course of the match came in the 72nd minute when Alexandre Lacazette tapped in a winner in what was a close contest match.
