Despite goalless first half, Shatskikh’s goal, sandwiched by Milevskyy’s double, ensured the White-Blues remain in pole position in the championship race.
Until the interval, as well as throughout the game, Dynamo dominated possession. With guests’ enormous attacking foray, the game could have been settled in the first 45 minutes. Correa’s shot was blocked by goalkeeper Kusliy. Aliyev, when lining up a free-kick from a good position, could only slam into the Okhtyrka wall. Ghioane, and then Shatskikh, also failed to trick Kusliy.
Yuriy Semin made one switch at half-time, bringing on Milevskyy for Kravets, who seemed to have got lost on the pitch. The change reaped dividends as early as on 49 minutes. Aliyev raced toward the box, having beaten two opponents on his way. His pass found Milevskyy in the goalmouth and the sub tucked the ball into the net.
Five minutes further into the game, Shatskikh deprived the hosts of any hope. Ninković sent a smart pass past several defenders and the Uzbek slotted home to make it 2-0. With twelve minutes remaining, Okhtyrka suffered another blow. Corrêa sprinted into the box, crossed on to Milevskyy, who netted in his second tonight.
