FC Dynamo Kyiv have defeated FC Dnipro within the UPL matchday 3 – 1:0.
Serhiy Rebrov used the same starting lineup the White-Blues had in the previous game.
Early in the first half home side head coach had to make the first substitution. Domagoj Vida suffered concussion and 21-year-old Zurab Ochigava took his place.
The first half wasn’t a success for Kyivans. Our team controlled the ball, but didn’t create chances. Serhiy Rybalka was active. He unleashed three shots from distance. Meanwhile Dnipro had great scoring opportunity. 36 minutes into the game Balaniuk hit the post after cross from the flank.
The break was beneficial for Dynamo. In the second half players looked confident and it was obvious that goal was just the matter of time. 63 minutes into the match Derlis Gonzalez put a cross from the corner flag and Junior Moraes headed the ball in! This is his fourth goal in three UPL matches.
So, Dynamo have won the third domestic league game in a row.
