Jesus Imaz broke the deadlock in the 12th minute while Afimico Pululu doubled their lead in the 34th minute. Norbert Wojtuszek wrapped up the scoring five minutes into the second half.

Dinamo vs Jagiellonia Prediction
This season marks Dinamo's return to European club football for the first time since the 2010-11 campaign. They have overachieved to get this far, having already overcome two rounds of qualifiers to get here. However, they had their work cut out for them against superior opposition and their first leg thrashing leaves them with more work to do.
Jagiellonia made their bow in the main stage of a UEFA competition in last year's Conference League. They made it all the way to the quarterfinal before being eliminated by eventual runners-up Real Betis. The Białystok outfit will be aiming to repeat this feat and entertainment could be on the cards giving their expansive style.
Back the visitors to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
