Unlike Kyivans Astra headed by ex-Dynamo forward Oleh Protasov have already tumbled out of the Europa League.
In this match newcomer Vitorino Antunes made his debut for the White-Blues.
He was in the starting lineup and played as left lateral.
Serhiy Rebrov couldn’t count on Yevhen Khacheridi, who’s missed several training sessions because of stomach problems. Aleks Dragovic and Mykyta Burda were centre backs. Domagoj Vida performed on the right flank.
Serhiy Rybalka, Vitaliy Buialskyi and Serhiy Sydorchuk played in the midfield. Wingers were Jeremain Lens and Andriy Yarmolenko while the only finisher – Artem Kravets.
Oleh Protasov’s men created the first chance a couple of minutes into the game. Fatai almost eluded defenders, but eventually Dragovic didn’t let him score.
Right after that Dynamo hit the target. Sydorchuk put a low cross into the box, Astra keeper didn’t manage to clear the ball properly and Buialskyi netted it.
Romanian side had a good chance to equalize, but Shovkovskyi parried Fatai’s shot in one-on-one situation.
Still Astra scored three minutes after the break. Alibec hit the target from distance. 55 minutes into the match he slotted his team ahead due to mistake of Antunes.
Still Kyivans scored their equalizer very quickly. Lens found Kravets with a good pass and Artem didn’t miss in being one-on-one with goalkeeper.
Those, who took the field among Dynamo first eleven, played for about 60-70 minutes. After that Serhiy Rebrov made nine substitutions. The only performer to feature till the final whistle was Mykyta Burda.
So, Dynamo have played in a draw for the first time at winter training camps.
