As it was expected, Olexandr Khatskevych’s men took the game under control from the start, but visitors defended confidently. 14 minutes into the match Tomasz Kedziora headed the ball in after cross from corner flag, but referee decided he committed a foul.
The White-Blues didn’t stop attacking. Oleksandria keeper Pankiv saved his team twice within a minute after shots by Moroziuk.
Eventually, 68 minutes into the game, Dynamo took the lead. Viktor Tsyhankov got the ball in the midfield, dragged it forward and hit the bottom corner from outside the box – 1:0!
Oleksandria had a chance to equalize, but Denys Boiko parried the shot of Banada.
Anyway, the final score is 1:0. This is Dynamo fifth UPL victory by one goal to nil out of five this season.
