FC Dynamo Kyiv started it with the game against FC Olimpik Donetsk. It was the first official match of our team under the charge of new head coach – Mircea Lucescu.
The game was interesting and spectacular. Dynamo took the situation under control at once and opened the score quickly. Buialskyi headed the ball in after cross by Karavayev.
After that Dynamo kept attacking and applying pressure. There’s no wonder Kyivans doubled the scored soon. De Pena put a cross into the box from the left side and Zaviyskyi sent the ball into his own net.
Several minutes later Olimpik pulled one back. Politylo hit the far corner after pass from the right wing.
Right before the break de Pena took a decent free kick, but Kychak parried his strike.
After the break Rodrigues made a substitute appearance and de Pena moved to the right flank. The game got more intense after Dynamo made it 3:1. Rodrigues eluded defender, found Buialskyi, Vitaliy put a low cross into the penalty area and Supriaha hit the empty goal.
Later Tsyhankov made the score 4:1 after Rodrigues coped with two defenders and passed to him. Viktor didn’t miss from inside the box.
So, it’s 4:1. Dynamo win the first game under the charge of Mircea Lucescu.
