Dinamo Bucuresti | Athletic Bilbao | 1:1 |
Athletic Bilbao was defensive minded in Romania, and they recorded an excellent result. The Spanish team had to be careful since they haven't played a competitive game in the past several months - Primera Division starts much later than the Romanian first league. However, with the strike from Laporte in the first half, they got what they wanted from the first game and now every victory in the second game will lead them to the next qualifying phase.

Dinamo's primary goal is to fight for the title in the domestic league, and if they qualify for the Europa League, that can be a nice bonus for them. Rivaldinho, the son of former Barcelona star Rivaldo, scored the only goal for them in the first match. They still hope they can eliminate famous Spanish club, but it is easier said than done - Athletic has an excellent result after the first game.

Dinamo will have to attack since if they fail to score a goal, Athletic Bilbao will certainly go through. They have several talented players, but it is hard to believe they could eliminate Athletic.
