Uncommon acquaintance
For the first Dynamo faced Dnipro away within the Soviet Top League on August 9 1972. That game, which took place at Meteor Stadium, was really dramatic.
The White-Blues controlled the game due to goals netted by Puzach and Kolotov.
Still Dnipro managed to equalize as Porkuian scored brace.
First defeat and victory in Dnipropetrovsk
On April 28 1973 our team lost the first match against Dnipro away. The only goal of that game was scored by Liabik.
It should be mentioned that Meteor Stadium was unassailable fortress for Dynamo for quite a long period of time. Kyivans managed to defeat Dnipro at this stadium only nine years after the first match in Dnipropetrovsk.
On April 4 1981 the White-Blues won by one goal to nil. The decider was netted by Oleh Blokhin from the spot!
After that Dynamo were victorious over Dnipro in Dnipropetrovsk only once in the Soviet Top League (11.08.1984 – 3:1).

Dnipro made their fans wait for victory against the White-Blues for 12 years. On May 22 2004 they won 1:0. Serhiy Fedorov scored own goal.
