Comparing with the last UPL game against SC Tavria Simferopol Oleh Blokhin made four substitutions in the starting line-up.
Maxym Koval, Yevhen Khacheridi, Lukman Haruna and Dieumerci Mbokani took the field instead of Olexandr Shovkovskyi, Domagoj Vida, Miguel and Roman Bezus.
It seems that Oleh Blokhin has almost defined first team regulars.
Game aspects
Kyivans opened the score 12 minutes into the match. Andriy Yarmolenko assisted Dieumerci Mbokani, who hit the open goal!
After that Dynamo had more opportunities to score. Metalurh defenders made a lot of mistakes. 30 minutes into the match Yarmolenko passed to Jeremain Lens, but Dutch forward’s shot was cleared by home side keeper Hrdlicka.
Right before the break referee Kuzyk didn’t notice the foul against Lukman Haruna. As Nigerian player tried to clear up reasons for such “blindness” he was booked.
67 minutes into the match Dynamo doubled the score. Younes Belhanda assisted Andriy Yarmolenko, who netted the ball.
Still one minute later Metalurh scored. After Shturko’s shot the ball hit the post and then Koval’s back.
Puchkov’s men lifted in spirits, but still they had few opportunities to equalize the score.
Key episode
71 minutes into the match referee ignored dangerous play against Yevhen Khacheridi and didn’t stop the game. Brazilian forward Junior eluded Maxym Koval, but missed the target.
Top person
Jeremain Lens has demonstrated very good play.
Metalurh defenders could stop him only with a help of fouls.
