FC Dynamo Kyiv hosted FC Zoria Luhansk at the NSC Olimpiyskyi within the UPL matchday 8.
The White-Blues had serious lineup troubles. Andriy Yarmolenko and Danilo Silva didn’t take the field due to health problems. Serhiy Sydorchuk was suspended.
Thus Vitaliy Buialskyi, Viktor Tsyhankov and Derlis Gonzalez took the field. Olexandr Hladkyi substituted Junior Moraes.
Home side had a couple of good opportunities early in the game. Dynamo controlled the ball and Zoria defended, but visitors’ counterattacks were quite dangerous. After one of them Sobol hit the post.
After the break both sides had chances. In a stoppage time Dynamo rushed forward to grab the winner and Luhansk side used the counterattack. Petriak assisted Opanasenko, who hit the target…
So, Zoria win and take the second position in the UPL table.
