The beginning of the match turned out to be eventful. Already in the 4th minute of the meeting, Karavaev sent the ball into Zorya's goal with a shot from outside the penalty area, but at the same time turned out to be offside - the goal was not counted. And three minutes later, the Luhansk team achieved success: Christian received a pass in the central zone, passed to the left side of the penalty area for Rusin, and he struck a shot - after a small rebound from Kendzera, the ball flew into the near corner of Buschan's goal - 1:0.
In the future, Dynamo played as the first number, the main events of the match took place in the half of the Zorya field, but there was almost no sharpness directly at the gates of the Luhansk team - the nominal hosts of the match defended quite confidently. Although, it is impossible not to note Sirota's kick from five meters when delivering a corner, but the Dynamo defender failed to hit the target: the ball hit the lawn, after which it flew over the goal.
In the end, it all ended with the fact that Zorya developed its success. At the 35th minute of the meeting, Churko filed from the left flank into the penalty area exactly at the completely free Mishnev, and he sent the ball into the net with a volley from 12 meters - 2:0. Moreover, just before the whistle for the break, the Lugansk team almost brought the score to a big one, when Rusin jumped out one on one with Buschan, but shot wide of the goal.
Dynamo began the second half extremely aggressively and almost immediately managed to close the gap in the score: Buyalsky burst into the Zorya penalty area from the left, being almost face to face with Matsapura, he could shoot himself, but gave the pass to the goalkeeper to Vanat and he touched hit an empty net - 2:1. At the same time, three minutes earlier, Kabaev punched from seven meters without interference, but managed to miss the target.
Having achieved success, the Dynamo team only increased the pressure on the Zorya goal. The Luhansk team had to fight back with the whole team, and the ball almost did not leave their penalty area. And in the 69th minute, the situation for Zorya worsened even more: Vantukh was sent off for a second warning. It seemed that in this situation, Dynamo would be able to correct the score on the scoreboard in their favor, or at least equalize it, but the ball flew into another goal.
In the 70th minute of the meeting, Rusin made a pass from the right flank to the penalty area of Kiev, Brazhko accepted this pass and, despite the guardianship from Sidorchuk and Zabarny, irresistibly shot under the crossbar from 10 meters - 3:1. Moreover, in the 73rd minute, Zorya could score a fourth goal: Buschan parried Churko's shot from the penalty area, but hit the ball straight at Christian, who shot from 12 meters without interference, but missed the target.
But Dynamo did not give up. And in the 83rd minute of the meeting, the White-Blues again reduced the score to a minimum: during a corner kick, Buyalsky hit from 18 meters, and the ball flew right into the bottom corner of the Zorya goal - 3:2. But Mircea Lucescu's team failed to achieve more in this match and, thus, suffered a second defeat in a row.
In the next, 4th round, Dynamo is waiting for a home match against Lviv. This meeting will take place on Sunday, September 11th. The venue for the match has not yet been confirmed.
