This is the second season in a row the White-Blues start with the match behind closed doors.
Both sides started the game quite slowly and there were no scoring chances for a while. Anyway, home side managed to score after visitors’ goalkeeper Shust made a mistake. Besedin obtained the ball, unleashed a shot from unpromising angle and Vorskla defender Dallku helped the ball cross the goal line – 1:0.
The second half also wasn’t really intense. So, the final score of the game is 1:0 for Dynamo.
