Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk have grabbed their first Group F victory in the Europa League with a 2-1 win away to Qarabag FK.

The away side drew first blood through Nikola Kalinic, who found the back of the net with a header after latching on to a pinpoint cross from Roman Zozulya.

The Croatian picked up the ball following some impressive play, which began with Ruslan Rotan back-heeling to Artem Fedetskiy, who did the same for Zozulya, who set up the goal.

Dnipro caused a wobble for the home side, but they were able to respond before the end of the first half through Leroy George, who curled the ball over the wall from a free kick to draw level.

After the break, a number of Dnipro's players went into the referee's book with some fierce tackles, but they were able to take the lead once again in the 73rd minute when Kalinic hooked the ball into the net while falling to ground.

The 26-year-old striker nabbed his second of the match and it proved to be enough for the visitors to move them up to third in the group.
