NK Dinamo Zagreb overcame a tricky test from Armenian champions FC
Pyunik to run out 3-0 winners and progress out of the UEFA Champions
League second qualifying round.

Early scares

The visitors gave Dinamo a couple of early scares but, led by man of
the match Pedro Morales, the Croatian side wrestled the initiative
and goals from Marijo MandžukiÄ~G, Milan Badelj and Dejan Lovren
helped them secure a tie against either FC Salzburg or Bohemian FC
in the next phase.

Morales influence Pyunik had held Dinamo to a goalless draw last week
and started off in impressive fashion at the Maksimir Stadium. However,
their early vim received a blow on the half-hour mark as Morales set
up MandžukiÄ~G to give the hosts the lead. Morales was involved again
as Dinamo doubled their lead in the 61st minute, Badelj benefiting
from the Chilean’s vision on this occasion, and Lovren completed the
night’s scoring soon after.
