Mykyta Burda and Mohammed Kadiri didn’t take the field due to injuries. Dynamo coaching staff applied significant lineup rotation comparing with the previous game. It should be also mentioned that the White-Blues loanee Vladyslav Supriaha, who currently features for Dnipro-1, was in the starting lineup.
In this game our team used formation with two forwards: Sol and Besedin. 6 minutes into the match Harmash sent the ball into the net, but referee cancelled his goal due to offside.
The White-Blues kept creating scoring opportunities. At first Sol had a decent one, but missed, and then Kadar found Harmash with a great long ball, but Denys didn’t manage to hit the target in one-on-one situation. Anyway, 30 minutes into the game our team opened the score. After spectacular attack, Mykolenko put a low cross into the box and Verbic scored.
Late in the second half Bushchan parried the shot by Kohut and then Chichikov hit he open goal, but he was flagged offside.
After the break Dnipro-1 rushed forward attempting to equalize, but home side didn’t let them create chances.
Tsyhankov and Besedin had opportunities to increase the lead, but Dnipro-1 defender saved his team after Viktor’s shot and then Yurchuk cleared the attempt of Artem.
Anyway, Kyivans doubled the score. Lohinov fouled against Besedin inside the box, referee awarded penalty for Dynamo and Tsyhankov converted from the spot.
So, it’s 2:0 for the White-Blues.
