Several days before the Champions League drawing Serhiy Rebrov’s men played friendly against RSC Anderlecht.
In this game the White-Blues used two different squads while Belgian side coaching staff decided to let reservists show what they can.
The start of the match was shocking for visitors. After cross from the left flank Ezekiel hit the target.
Kyivans could score equalizer very quickly, but Moraes didn’t use some chances.
After the break Dynamo squad was changed completely. Only Domagoj Vida wasn’t substituted.
In the second half the White-Blues played more impressively. Yarmolenko could score from inside the box, but goalkeeper saved Anderlecht. Gonzalez hit the post.
The final score of the game is 1:0. Still it doesn’t matter. Let’s just hope Kyivans won’t make same mistakes in official matches.
