Well that was a convincing win, but Everton were essentially playing Dynamo Kyiv's reserves. Dynamo Kyiv clearly resting their best 11 for the crucial upcoming Champions League Third round qualifying match against Sturm Graz on the 3rd of August. It was great to see 30,000 turn up for this friendly though, as it is a sign of the strong and dedicated support that Everton can call on.
From Everton's perspective, I thought McNeil had a great game, coming on as a sub and scoring 2 goals, his first goal in particular was an excellent strike. Calvert-Lewin took his goal well also, with his opportunistic header. Calvert-Lewin played well all round upfront, which is positive news for Everton, since they've lost the services of Richarlison. Other players who impressed, were Mykolenko, Tarkowski and Iwobi.
It's also great that the proceeds from this game, will go towards humanitarian charities supporting those suffering in Ukraine. It was a very positive step from both Everton and Dynamo Kyiv to arrange this friendly and to help the cause in Ukraine.
