On Sunday, 3 December, the match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian championship will take place, in which Dynamo Kyiv will meet away to Minai from the village of the same name, near Uzhhorod in Zakarpattia. The match will take place at the Minaj Stadium and will start at 13:00.
Photo: fcdynamo.comGiven that our opponents received professional status in the 2018/19 season, the history of meetings between Dynamo and Minaj has only nine official matches: twice in the Ukrainian Cup and seven times in the Ukrainian Championship. In all the matches, Dynamo won, conceding only two goals to the Zakarpattia team, scored by Robert Hegedosh, who no longer plays for Minaj, and Vadym Vitenchuk.
In the current roster of the Transcarpathian team, there are only two players who have scored for Dynamo while playing for other clubs. These are striker Volodymyr Odariuk, who scored in the gates of our team in early March this year as part of Ingulets (Petrovo), and defender Dmytro Nemchaninov, who scored against Kyiv in the 2013/2014 season as part of Lutsk's Volyn.
Dynamo sent 21 goals into the Minaya goal: 16 in the Ukrainian league and 5 in cup matches. Among the current Dynamo players, Mykola Shaparenko and Vladyslav Vanat are the top scorers in head-to-head matches with the Transcarpathians, with three goals each. Vitalii Buyalskyi and Mikkel Duelund, who no longer plays for Dynamo, scored twice.
Oleksandr Andriievskyi, Anton Tsarenko and Oleksandr Karavayev each scored one goal.
The former Croatian centre-back of Zakarpattia, Mislav Matić, scored another goal in this match.
Goals for Dynamo against Minaya (among the current team players):
3 - Shaparenko, Vanat;
2 - Buyalsky;
1 - Andrievskyi, Tsarenko, Karavayev.
