The home team, despite the name of the opponent, started the game very actively and boldly and already in the 4th minute of the meeting had a chance to open the score: Neshcheret started a pass with Lonwijk in his penalty area, he made a mistake, actually giving the ball to Talles, who, in the end, had a chance from 10 meters to hit, in fact, the empty gates of Kiev, but, apparently, he was so confused by such an unexpected gift from his opponent that he did not hit the target.
In the future, Dynamo gradually began to take the initiative into their own hands, and realized their first scoring chance. In the 16th minute, as a result of an interception of the ball in the half of the Rukh field, Benito received a pass on the right flank, picked up speed, shot into the Rukh penalty area, where Vanat, having won a positional struggle against his opponents, hit the target in a close-range stretch - 0:1.
Having conceded a goal, Rukh became more active and, in a sense, made the Dynamo defense work, and Mircea Lucescu was completely nervous - he only did that he gave instructions to his wards from the edge of the field. And as a result, the Lviv residents managed to restore the balance. In the 40th minute, Shepelev was "cut off" in his own half of the field, "Rukh" made a counter-attack, in the final stage of which Klimchuk shot from the penalty line - the ball hit Popov, bounced to Dovgoy, who beat Neshcheret with the first touch, and hit the empty net with the second Dynamo — 1:1. In stoppage time of the first half, Shepelev almost corrected his mistake, perfectly spinning the ball from a free kick to the “nine” of the Rukh gate, but Pankiv rescued his team in a throw.
In the second half, there was a relatively equal fight on the field. At the same time, already in the 57th minute of the match, Rukh almost took the lead: during a counterattack from Lviv, Klimchuk went almost one on one with Neshcheret (Dyachuk, who was nearby, created only minor interference), but the attacker failed to throw the ball over the Dynamo goalkeeper . And seven minutes later Solomon was already threatening the gates of Kiev, who hit the goal from the goalkeeper's line, but was surrounded by two rivals and did not create any special difficulties for Neshcheret.
These moments clearly introduced nervousness into the actions of the Dynamo players - they began to make mistakes much more often, looked indecisive. And Rukh, on the contrary, played the game quite calmly, was not particularly inferior to the opponent in terms of ball control, and at the same time persistently looked for its chances in attack. As a result, in this segment of the meeting, neither Dynamo nor Rukh created scoring chances, and the match ended with the score 1:1.
After this result, Dynamo shares the third and fourth places in the standings of the Ukrainian Championship with Zorya Luhansk (both teams have 40 points each), but the Kiev team played one match more (tomorrow the Luhansk team will meet Dnipro- 1").
In the next, 22nd round, Dynamo will play in Kyiv with Shakhtar Donetsk. This fight will take place on Saturday, April 22 (beginning at 17:00).
