Syomin’s men began to attack in numbers right from the start. On 13 minutes Bangoura checked Babenko’s awareness with a powerful drive. In a minute Ksyonz passed to Shopin who ran down the right flank and sent a high ball towards the goalkeeping area that almost got in but Shovkovskiy managed to tip it behind. On 15 minutes a small sensation happened as Zakarpattya took the lead. Mandzyuk fouled Ksyonz in the area and the referee pointed at the spot. Albanian defender Kraja left no chances to Dynamo captain and scored his first goal for Zakarpattya.

Dynamo tried to equalize immediately and Syomin looked nervous as he was approaching the touchline several times trying to explain something to his players.

On 20 minutes Ghioane shot from 27 meters and Babenko saved his effort. Two minutes later Platon shot on goal after Mykulyak’s pass and Shovkovskiy had problems gathering the ball. Then on 24 minutes Babenko turned behind Aliev’s thunderbolt from the free kick. In a minute after good Dynamo attack Ghioane was in a position to shoot but the defenders managed to scramble the ball out of the penalty area. It fell to Markovic who shot towards the far corner forcing Babenko to leap to turn it for the corner. On 31 minutes Ghioane made a dangerous shot from outside the area but it whistled past the goalpost.

On 34 minutes Dynamo equalized. Milevskiy headed the ball towards the far corner after the corner and Yussuf connected with his header at the back post putting it into the back of the net – 1:1.

Hosts barely had time to come around after the goal when in just three minutes Bangoura was doing his hot dance near the corner flag after he received a great pass in the penalty area and sent the ball and the keeper into different corners – 1:2.

On 41 minutes Bangoura made another dangerous shot after the corner but the ball hit the defender. Two minutes later Platon forced Shovkovskiy to demonstrate his goalkeeping skills as he went past two Dynamo defenders and shoot – the keeper deflected the ball into touch. Ksyonz cut inside Dynamo box on last minutes of the first half but blasted the ball over the bar.

Dynamo kept pushing forward in the second half but managed to create their first real chance only on 61 minutes when Bangoura shot after a turn from 19 meters only to have his shot saved by babenko.

On 66 minutes hosts had their only good chance in the second half when Pisniy was left unmarked in the area after the corner but he couldn’t use it and shot wide. In the next Dynamo attack Bangoura scored once more but had his goal ruled out because of offside.

On 88 minutes Kravets broke into the hosts’ penalty area, dribbled past the defender and made a cross from the byline to Bangoura who left no chances to Babenko – 1:3 and more dancing.

In the injury time Ismael made Dynamo fans applaud to his passionate dance as he put the ball into the back of the net after Aliev’s assist – 1:4.

Yuriy Syomin, Dynamo head coach:

- The beginning of the match wasn’t good for us but I thank my players who managed to rectify the situation and score twice in the first half. It would be more difficult for us if they didn’t because we were playing downwind in the first half and it was easier to have the initiative. It is impossible to play good football on such pitch. I am sorry for both teams because even amateurs don’t play on such concrete. There must be some respect for players and fans. A club should have sufficient infrastructure to be playing in the higher league.

Volodymyr Vasyutyk, Zakarpattya acting head coach:

- The game ending was blurred as our players lacked fitness to be a good match for Dynamo. Our efforts in the end of the game played a mean joke on us. We were ahead in the beginning of the game but then lacked skill to keep the score. In addition I have doubts about the first Dynamo goal as Milevskiy was clearly pushing Kozoriz away before he headed the ball. However Dynamo is Dynamo and we cannot compete with them on equal terms yet.
