Harry Kane's brace was enough to give Tottenham a narrow but healthy advantage ahead of the second leg next week in Croatia.
Erik Lamela's dancing run after 25 minutes ended with a curling effort striking the Dinamo post, and Kane was on hand to convert the rebound from close range.

Tanguy Ndombele was brought down in the area just after the restart, and despite looking a certain penalty on rewatch, nothing was given.

But Spurs eventually found their second when Dinamo failed to clear Serge Aurier's driven cross, and Kane cooly slotted away to double Spurs' lead.
Substitute Gareth Bale missed from a few yards out in stoppage time, and so Spurs' lead remained at two ahead of the return leg. 90min
