FC Dynamo Kyiv faced FC Stal Kamianske at Meteor Stadium in Dnipro within the UPL matchday 4.
This time Serhiy Rebrov couldn’t count on Yevhen Khacheridi, Serhiy Rybalka and Andriy Yarmolenko. They were replaced by Zurab Ochigava, Nikita Korzun and Artem Hromov.
The White-Blues demonstrated they would attack actively at once. Three minutes into the game Ishchenko didn’t let the ball cross the goal line after the shot from Ochigava. Later Dragovic headed the ball in, but Aleks was flagged offside.
Still halfway through the first half home side only attack resulted in goal. Boy Deul put a cross from the corner flag and Ishchenko netted the ball with a header.
After that Stal totally focused on defense, but Dynamo didn’t have a lot of chances. The situation didn’t change in the second half.
72 minutes into the game Edgar Malakyan got the second booking and was sent off. In several minutes the White-Blues equalized. Hladkyi put a low cross into the box, Pankiv cleared it, but Harmash obtained the ball and hit the open goal.
Two minutes before the time Dynamo scored the decider. Vitorino Antunes demonstrated his powerful shot from distance after pass from Mykola Moroziuk!
