FC Girondins de Bordeaux produced an excellent rearguard action to repel FC Dynamo Kyiv and reach the UEFA Europa League round of 16 courtesy of Cheick Diabaté's strike.

On a nine-game European winning streak at their Stade Chaban-Delmas, the hosts came into the match with an away goal to their name, and went ahead on aggregate thanks to Diabaté. Francis Gillot's men soaked up the ensuing Dynamo pressure after the interval, refusing to buckle to secure a tie with SL Benfica.
