FC Dynamo Kyiv faced FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih away in the Ukrainian Premier League matchday 14 game.
After defeat against Shakhtar (0:1) in the previous game, Mircea Lucescu resigned from the post of Dynamo head coach while Olexandr Shovkovskyi became a caretaker manager. The White-Blues had four-game winless streak, so they didn’t have a room for another mistake.
