A couple of goals to the good with just over half an hour left, you definitely wouldn’t do anything silly to let the opposition back into the game, would you?
Spare a thought for Partizan Belgrade’s Ognjen Ozegovic then, whose moment of madness allowed Dynamo Kiev a foothold in a game they otherwise looked out of.
The free-kick comes in, the arms go up, and a penalty is awarded – the reaction of his team-mates tells the story.

No sympathy there – the resulting penalty was scored to halve the deficit to 2-1.
And it’s unlikely Ozegovic’s team-mates would have been feeling more charitable at full-time, either, as Dynamo Kiev completed the comeback to win 3-2.

Kyiv come from 2 down at ht to win 3-2! Were 1-0 down at ht on MD1 then won 3-1.

The result leaves Partizan third in Group B with just one point.
