CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Dynamo vs. AS Roma.
Forget the first match between these two on Sept. 15? The two had just finished a chippy first half of soccer at Rome’s Olympic Stadium with the Blue and White up 1-0 when a Roman fan tossed something at the ref, hitting him in the head and cutting him. The game was suspended and, ultimately, awarded to Dynamo 3-0. Now Roma languish at the bottom of Group B while Dynamo are tied with Madrid and Leverkusen at the top. A win for Dynamo all but clinches their entry into the second round of Europe’s top club competition.
Olympic Stadium (55 Chervonoarmiyska, Respublikansky Stadion metro). 9:45 p.m. Ticket Hr 10 to Hr 50.
