Nov 4, 2009 5:00:00 PM
DYNAMO KIEV
Bogush: 3 - Disastrous performance from the Dynamo goalkeeper, who was to blame for both of Inter's two late goals.
Eremenko: 6 - Steady if not spectacular down his side. Perhaps could have pushed forward a bit more in the second half.
Khacheridi: 7 - Made a few miracle tackles in the second half, but could do nothing at the end.
Almeida: 6 - Suspect marking throughout the game, and he was eventually punished.
Magrao: 6.5 - Very impressive in the first half going forward, but he ran out of batteries and was over-run in the closing stages.
Shevchenko: 8 - Rolled back the years and was Dynamo's best player tonight. Scored the goal that had seemed certain to win the game.
Mikhalik: 6 - Aggressive in the first half, but couldn't get near Sneijder in the second.
Vukojevic: 6 - Similar assessment as his center midfield partner. Really lost his way after the break.
Yarmolenko: 6.5 - Held his own on the left and stopped Maicon from pushing forward.
Ninkovic: 6.5 - Dangerous coming forward in the first half, but just couldn't get hold of the ball in the second period.
Milevskiy: 6.5 - Played a tough role up-front by himself, but showed some nice touches. Disappeared after the break and this led to the Inter onslaught.
Substitutes
Gusev: 6 - Spent his time on the field chasing the ball.
INTER (4-3-1-2)
Julio Cesar: 6 - Aside from pick the ball out of the net from Shevchenko, did not have a single save to make all night.
Maicon: 6 - Not the usual Maicon tonight who bombs up and down the right flank. Strangely unwilling to burst forward.
Samuel: 7 - Two fantastic tackles in the first half, Samuel let little past him. Missed two great headed chances in the second, one of which hit the post.
Lucio: 7.5 - The Brazilian's determination and passion signaled Inter's never-say-die attitude and rise from the dead.
Chivu: 5.5 - Had a tricky time in the first half against Shevchenko on the left, and allowed him to escape his attentions prior to the goal.
Zanetti: 6 - Tonnes of energy, but lost the ball a few too many times for Jose Mourinho's liking.
Cambiasso: 5.5 - Not his best ever game in an Inter shirt. Didn't close up when Dynamo Kiev counter-attacked, and his delay in charging Shevchenko saw him unluckily deflect the ball in. Subbed at half time.
Stankovic: 6 - Has been in excellent form this season, but it didn't happen for him tonight. Did not get in the attacking positions he usually does.
Sneijder: 8.5 - Poor in the first half, but absolutely superb in the second where he created chance after chance for his team-mates. Set-pieces were world class, he set up the equalizer and scored the winner.
Eto'o: 5 - Despite his incredible scoring rate over his career, Eto'o has never been super-clinical and it was proven tonight as he missed an open goal and a one-on-one.
Milito: 7.5 - Rather anonymous outing from the Argentine until the final five minutes where he scored the equalizer and was instrumental in the winner.
Substitutes
Thiago Motta: 6.5 - Helped Inter take control of the game.
Balotelli: 7.5 - Gave Inter a much-needed spark in the second half, but missed a sitter.
Muntari: 6.5 - The Ghanaian's shot led to the winner.
