The teams actively started the meeting, although the first minutes of the match were more memorable for fouls and yellow cards than for the game itself. Already before the 15th minute, we saw three warnings - Mykhailychenko from Shakhtar and Vivcharenko and Vanat from Dynamo.
Closer to the middle of the half, Dynamo seemed to seize the initiative, but the Pitmen, after a short pause, again went forward with great forces. First, Zubkov created the first scoring chance in the match: the midfielder of the Donetsk team shot from outside the penalty area — the ball flew near the Neshcheret goal post, and literally two minutes later Alexander managed to open the scoring in the match. After a corner kick, Traore threw the ball at Zubkov, who from a few meters without any problems shot accurately - 1:0.
After a missed goal, Lucescu's wards immediately rushed to recoup: Tsygankov shot from the fly, but Trubin played reliably and took the ball in his hands. Frankly speaking, the people of Kiev could not create at least one dangerous moment at the opponent's goal in the first half. But Shakhtar could have gone on a break with a more comfortable advantage. At the 43rd minute, Tymchik fouled Mudrik in the penalty area and the main referee of the match, Ekaterina Monzul, awarded a penalty! Traore took the shot from the spot, but Neshcheret emerged victorious from this duel, having managed to parry the blow of the Shakhtar forward! On this, all the main events in the first half of the meeting ended.
But the beginning of the second half turned out to be just cosmic! In the 46th minute, Dynamo players managed to level the score! After Tsygankov's cross from the flank, Vanat won the fight on the second floor and accurately hit with his head - 1:1! But Dynamo did not have time to rejoice at the goal, when two minutes later Shakhtar again took the lead in the score: Mudryk, having received the ball near the Dynamo penalty area, moved to the center and shot right into the corner of the goal - 2:1!
After such a grand start in the second half, the teams did not even think of stopping further. The teams carried out dangerous attacks almost every minute. Lucescu, realizing that he needed to improve in attack, made a triple substitution. But all the ideas of the coach collapsed in the 69th minute, when defender Ilya Zabarny received a red card. Dynamo player fouled on Sikan, who could have gone one on one with Neshcheret. This removal, of course, played into the hands of Shakhtar. Already in the 74th minute, the same Sikan scored the third goal: after a long pass to Mudrik and a pass along the penalty area, the forward had only to send the ball into an empty net - 3:1! The outcome of the meeting was almost decided.
A few minutes before the end of the match, Buyalsky could close the gap in the score - the Kiev midfielder went almost one-on-one with Trubin, but Bondar managed to knock the ball out. Thus, Shakhtar won a victory over Dynamo. The Pitmen moved up to the second line in the standings, while the White-Blues dropped to the ninth.
Recall that Dynamo will play its next match in the Ukrainian championship on October 19. Mircea Lucescu's team will face Metalist.
