FC Dynamo Kyiv faced FC Lviv within the Ukrainian Premier League matchday 4.
The White-Blues had a number of lineup issues before this game. Mykola Shaparenko, Heorhiy Bushchan and Ruslan Neshcheret will be out for a quite a while due to injuries. Artem Besedin wasn’t ready to help the team either. That’s why Denys Boiko was the goalkeeper this time, Shepelev replaced Shaparenko while Tymchyk and Vivcharenko played as laterals.
Dynamo dominated in the first half and tried to attack, but Lviv orderly defense didn’t let them use space.
Kyivans created the first chance in the 15th minute as Burda attempted with a header after cross by Tsyhankov from the left side, but the ball went over the bar. After that the game moved towards the midfield again.
Anyway, in the 32nd minute, Tsyhankov obtained the ball in the right wing, entered the penalty area, passed to Buialskyi and Vitaliy hit the bottom corner – 1:0.
Afterwards Dynamo kept maintaining possession confidently. Early in the second half Oleh Dulub made three substitutions while Mircea Lucescu almost had to substitute one of his leaders – Vitaliy Buialskyi. Lviv side tackles were quite rough sometimes.
The situation didn’t change a lot after the break. Dynamo were in possession and created danger from time to time. Iliushchenkov parried decent long-range strike by Kabayev. Then Lviv defenders blocked low cross from Harmash.
Dynamo had the best chance of the second half in the 82nd minute. Kabayev attempted with another shot from distance, but keeper coped with that.
Anyway, it’s 1:0 for Dynamo – the first victory in domestic league this season.
