Follow me on Twitter: @playitcoolrodAn injury time equaliser from Ognjen Vukojevic denied Stoke a perfect start to their European adventure.Pulis side took the lead at theValeriy Lobanovskyi Stadium after 55 minutes. Recent signing Cameron Jerome went some way to dispelling his recent critics; his shot flew into the top corner after a powerful run from Ryan Shotton found the forward unmarked in the box. Jerome Leury Garcia Jersey showed his quality, and Stoke went ahead with their first shot on target.In a game with more bookings than chances, the Potters will feel aggrieved at not departing Kiev with maximum points. But football can be a cruel game; and Stoke were justly punished for a defensive lapse. In injury Tim Anderson Jersey time, Kievs Vukojevic nicked in at the back post and delivered the crucial blow. 1-1. What the defence were doing, only they know.The hosts were the better side in the first half, as Andriy Yarmolenko shot wide after a blunder from Stoke keeper Thomas Sorenson gifted him an opportunity on goal.Pulis played 5 at the back, with all 3 centre-halves Robert Huth, Matthew Upson and Ryan Shawcro s earning a caution from the referee.It was a resolute display from Stoke, Ervin Santana Jersey who were happy to allow the hosts the majority of po se sion, while keeping Kievs various threats at bay.Dynamo threatened in the second period, after being reduced to long-range efforts before the break. Impre sive substitute Olexandr Aliyev rattled the bar with a well-struck shot. Andriy Shevchenko, now at Kiev after a miserable tenure in the Premier League, was continually wasteful in the game. The Ukrainian forward had a glorious chance late in the second half after being played through. He hesitated, tried to find a team-mate, and the ball trickled away. I cant help but think a more youthful Shevchenko would have converted.Vukojevic ensured his side took a point from Carlos Rodon Jersey the game when he prodded in at the death. Desolation for the Potters.But not to worry, its only the Europa League. Blank Jersey (Oh wait, were supposed to think its a big deal, arent we?)Dynamo had a chance to snatch all three points in the final kick of the match. Free-kick to Dynamo. Up-stepped Aliyev. Into the wall. Stoke departed Kiev with a point, ruing the chance they had to leave with all three.
