FC Dynamo Kyiv hosted FC Oleksandria within the UPL matchday 27.
Home side got a cold shower early in the game. Luchkevych obtained the ball inside the box after cross from the left side and netted it – 0:1.
After that visitors totally focused on defense, but Olexandr Khatskevych’s men hardly created a single chance. Only right before the break Pankiv parried spectacular strike by Kravchenko.
In the second half Dynamo kept attacking. At first Shaparenko hit the bar and then Rusyn got the pass from Tsyhankov and hit the far corner – 1:1.
Still the White-Blues didn’t manage to grab the winner, so the game ended in a draw.
