This time Dynamo starting lineup mostly included internationals, who joined the team after Euro-2020. Besides, Benjamin Verbic, who missed quite a while due to injury, played as forward.
The game wasn’t replete with scoring chances. There was a lot of scrimmage that even turned into aggression sometimes.
Dynamo took the ball under control, but couldn’t approach the goal for some time. The first chance happened halfway through the first half. Antiukh put a low cross into the box to Verbic, but defender blocked Benjamin’s shot.
Anyway, in the 33rd minute, Liedniev obtained the ball after cross from Karavayev, eluded goalkeeper and made it 1:0.
The game didn’t change after the break. All Dynamo attacking efforts were interrupted with fouls. The match gained momentum after Mircea Lucescu made some substitutions. Benito attempted with a decent strike, but barely missed.
15 minutes before the time, Dynamo got more active and made Swiss side totally focus on defense.
In the 83rd minute, Harmash took a free kick from distance and managed to surprise Etoile keeper – 2:0!
On July 20, Dynamo will play the next friendly – against Athletic Bilbao.
