Result: Dynamo Kyiv 1-1 Stoke City

Stoke City shared the spoils in their opening Europa League group match against Dynamo Kyiv after conceding a goal in stoppage time.

The home side went on the offensive from the first whistle, but a mix of sloppy finishing and solid goalkeeping from Thomas Sorensen kept the scores level at the break.

The Potters continued to soak up more pressure in the second half, but they hit Kyiv on the counter attack on 55 minutes with debutant Cameron Jerome poking the ball into the roof of the net from close range.

Sorensen continued to defy the hosts, but the Stoke defence was finally breached in injury time when Ognjen Vukojevic tapped in.

Beskitas won the other match in Group E, beating Maccabi Tel-Aviv 5-1 in Turkey.
