This is Dinamo and NEC's first meeting in UEFA club competition. Dinamo have played five games against Dutch sides in UEFA club competition, but their record is an unusual one. They have won their only two games in the Netherlands but have never beaten a Dutch side at home, recording two draws and a defeat. AFC Ajax will remember their ties against Dinamo only too well. They drew in Zagreb and lost 1 in Amsterdam in the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League group stage and were then knocked out of last season's UEFA Cup in the first round by Dinamo, winning 1 in Croatia but losing the return leg 32 at home to succumb on away goals. Mario Been's NEC boast nothing like Ajax's European pedigree and are coming up against Croatian opposition for the first time. Croatian champions Dinamo have come to the UEFA Cup group stage by the long route. This is their ninth match in European competition this season. They beat Linfield FC and NK Domžale, both over two legs, to set up a UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, but lost 51 on aggregate. A draw at home and a 33 away result against AC Sparta Praha then propelled them through the UEFA Cup first round. NEC finished eighth in the Eredivisie last season, winning a UEFA Cup place via the Dutch endofseason playoffs. They beat FC Dinamo 1948 Bucureşti 1 on aggregate in the first round to earn a first stab at the UEFA Cup group stage. Dinamo are coached by Branko Ivanković. Having played for NK Varteks for his entire career, he moved into coaching with the Varazdin club, before joining NK Segesta and HNK Rijeka in a similar capacity ahead of assisting Miroslav Blažević as Croatia coach between 1997 and He subsequently was in charge at Hannover 96 and then led Iran to the 26 FIFA World Cup finals. He is in his second spell at Dinamo. He was first hired in 26, winning a double without losing a game in his first season before resigning the following January. He was reappointed in May, replacing Zvonimir Soldo who had led the club to a second successive double. Udinese Calcio take on Tottenham Hotspur FC in Matchday 1's other Group D game. FC Spartak Moskva are the only side in the section not in action on 23 October. Last updated.1.28 :27:4CET Match background 1
