HAIFA, Israel — Dynamo Kiev scored a goal early in each half as it eased to a 2-0 victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv and went top of the Group G standings in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Andriy Yarmolenko put the Ukrainian side ahead after just four minutes, collecting Derlis Gonzalez’s defense-splitting pass and steering his shot past Maccabi keeper Predrag Rajkovic.
Gonzalez also set up the second goal, surging into the left of the penalty area on the break before passing to Junior Moraes for a cool finish into the net.
Dynamo and FC Porto both have four points after the Portuguese side beat Chelsea 2-1 in the other group game.
