Faced with S.S. Lazio of Italy, the Odesa footballers were successful at their debut at home 1–0 with the first half strike from Anatoliy Doroshenko, but in away game at Stadio Olimpico Chornomorets lost in extra time 0–3 with Giorgio Chinaglia scoring hat-trick.

### 1985–86 UEFA Cup

A finish of fourth in the 1984 season earned Chornomorets a second UEFA Cup campaign. Soviet clubs Spartak Moscow and Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk also qualified for the 1985–86 tournament. Chornomorets's first opponents this time were German club SV Werder Bremen. A 2–1 home win at Tsentralny Stadion ChMP in Odesa and a 2–3 'away' loss at Weserstadion earned the Odesa club a win on away goal rule and a progress to face Spanish club Real Madrid CF. Sailors lost the away leg 1–2 at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, however a 0–0 draw in Odesa meant that Real progressed due to the aggregate goals advantage.
