FC Dynamo Kyiv opened the winter part of the season with confident win against FC Mariupol at the NSC Olimpiyskyi – 5:1!
Despite terrible weather a lot of loyal fans came to the stadium to support our club. Snow, rain or frost don’t matter when native team plays. The White-Blues thanked for that with spectacular attacking game and goals!
Comparing with the match against FC Desna Chernihiv Olexandr Khatskevych made several substitutions in the starting lineup. Khacheridi, Moroziuk and Tsyhankov replaced Pantic, Shaparenko and Moraes. It was the 35th game between these two sides and 30th Dynamo win!
Home side started the match very aggressively. Harmash, Tsyhankov, Mbokani and Khacheridi were especially active. Still, strange as it may appear, visitors opened the score. Bolbat netted the ball from outside six-yard box. Anyway, it took Dynamo about a minute to equalize. Mbokani assisted Harmash, who hit the bottom corner. Unfortunately Congolese striker got injured in the first half and was substituted.
Right before the break Harmash found Tsyhankov with a good cross and Viktor headed the ball in – 2:1. This was his sixth UPL goal of the season.
In the second half Tsyhankov got two assists to his name and thus helped Moraes score brace. Junior substituted Mbokani and proved that he’s a true professional. Late in the game he also assisted Gonzalez. Dynamo score five for the second time this season!
