"Dynamo" very actively started the match, but "Minay" did not allow to pin himself to the gate, imposing Kievan tough fight and pressing. However, in the beginning of the game the home team was quite able to open the scoring. On the 12th minute of the game Dynamo players were very close to the success: after a corner kick from the left flank Popov did not really reach the ball, but it happily flew to a completely free Longwijk, who shot from 7 meters, and hit the crossbar near the "nine". And two minutes later Benito put his mark on the attack, with a sharp shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball flew very close to the far post.
These two moments as if spurred Dynamo players, they managed to seize total advantage, and this time Minaya was still pressed to their goal. At the 21st minute "Dynamo" created another scoring chance - it was Vanat broke into the penalty area on the right side, shot from the bottom, and Bandura not without problems managed to hit the ball away.
"Later Dynamo continued to lead an intensive attacking game, time after time they delivered the ball into the penalty area of Minaya (and even into the goal net), but each time Lucescu`s team failed to put the final point: in some cases, the opponent`s actions, in others - technical defect (the same Vanat did not hit the gate, shooting from several meters).
However, on 35 minutes, Kyiv team finally got their chance. Lonwijk shot from 25 meters, the ball hit Kravchuk, it bounced to Tsarenko who was sure to score - 1:0.
Having succeeded Dynamo did not try to lessen the pressure on Minaya's goal, and on the 42nd minute of the match another scoring chance appeared: Sidorchuk joined the attack of his team, burst into the penalty area to the right and shot cleanly - the ball almost hit the far bar. Finally, just before the half time whistle Shepelev converted a free-kick, sending the ball over the crossbar near the top of the nine. As a result, the teams took a 1-0 lead into the break.
After the break the game looked much the same, but Dynamo's advantage was not so obvious as it had been in the first half. And the game itself began to pass in a more chaotic manner - the number of errors and fouls increased.
However, this did not prevent Kiev team to develop their success. On 62 minutes Shepelev put Vanatat on a break through the central area, he burst into the penalty area and despite the guardianship Buleza hustled the ball into the bottom corner of the goal Minaya - 2:0.
In the remaining time of the match "Dynamo" continued to lead the game first number one. But the obvious danger in front of the opponent's goal has not created. But in the 77th minute "Minay" had a chance to cut the score - it was Nemchaninov who struck a powerful blow from 8 meters, but Nesheret, showing brilliant reaction, the game was sent to the corner. As a result, the match ended with Mircea Lucescu's team winning 2-0.
After the played matches Dynamo still takes the fourth place in the standings of the Ukrainian championship. The third place goes ahead of the Kyiv team on one point, but the team has not finished the match of the current round.
Next, in the 21st round Dynamo will play in Lviv with the local Rukh. The match is to take place next Friday, April 14 (kickoff at 15:00).
