The White and Blues' opponent was ranked in the middle of the standings, but strengthened its squad in the offseason and started the spring part of the season with a victory.
The match started quite lively: both teams did not sit on the defensive and from the first minutes set a high pace of play, responding with attack after attack. Half-chances arose near both goals, with the home team having more possession in the first half.
However, at the halfway mark, the pace of the game slowed down a bit, and real scoring opportunities began to arise at the Dnipro-1 goal. The most dangerous was the shot of Dmytro Kremchanin, who decided to test the home team's goal in the 27th minute with a shot from the corner of the penalty area after a back pass from a partner. The home team was lucky - the ball whistled past the nine.
Nevertheless, Kremchanin still achieved his goal, and quite quickly. In the 34th minute, Kremchanin and Salenko won a battle for the ball, after which Kremchanin played into the wall with Vasylets. Vasylts's final vertical pass was precise - he brought Dmytro into a rendezvous with the goalkeeper, and the Kyiv winger scored a goal without approaching the goal, opening the scoring.
In the first minute of the second half, Kyiv almost scored a second goal. After a shot by Kremchanin from the left flank and a ricochet from a Dnipro-1 player, Artem Slesar successfully pressed the opponents in the opponent's penalty area and even struck a close-range shot, but the goalkeeper deflected the ball for a corner.
In the 66th minute, quite unexpectedly, the score was equalized. Zhdanov fired from the left flank into the center of the penalty area, where Badenko ran and fired a touch shot from the goalkeeper's line without any obstacles. The home team managed to create several more threats to Dynamo's goal from long range shots, but Ihnatenko played reliably.
However, Dynamo were more eager to snatch the victory. In the 85th minute, they created a supermoment that miraculously did not end in a goal. Naveen Malysh took goalkeeper Maksym Zorenko, who appeared on the field in the middle of the half, on a date. The forward was already preparing a well-aimed left-footed shot, but at the last moment he was caught up from behind by Guilherme Varzau, a Brazilian winter newcomer to Dnipro-1, who put his foot under the ball and knocked it out for a corner.
In the 90th minute, Slesar had another scoring chance. After a cross from the left flank by Kremchanin, he threw the goalkeeper over with a one-touch kick, but he still reached the ball. Slesar immediately tried to strike again with a bisecting shot in the fall, but this time he failed to accentuate the shot.
Dnipro responded with a half-chance after a corner kick, but the header after the set piece was off target. The final assault on Dnipro-1's goal was unsuccessful, and Kyiv lost points in Lviv.
