Comparing with the game against FC Desna Chernihiv, our coach made six substitutions in the starting lineup.
At first Dynamo acted quite carefully and even let visitors approach our goal.
After the break, the White-Blues got more aggressive and started creating chances. Buialskyi didn’t score in one-on-one situation, Shabanov attempted with a header. There were shots by Rodrigues, Sydorchuk, Tsyhankov…
Finally, 84 minutes into the game Shepelev created a great chance for Buialskyi and this time Vitaliy hit the target.
