This match was a home match for our team and took place in the arena of the White and Blues' country club base in Koncha Zaspa. It is worth noting that in the previous rounds, Dynamo scored 35 points and took first place in the standings. Obolon was in 12th place with 14 points. It should also be noted that for our team, the match against Brewers was the final one in the first part of the season before the winter break.
The match started very actively. The first dangerous shot on goal was made by the visitors' players - Surkis managed to put the ball over the crossbar for a corner in a spectacular jump. But Dynamo scored first, and in the 2nd minute of the match. In a retaliatory attack, Makkevych delivered the ball to the penalty area, where Lobko threw it back to Kremchanin, and Dmytro hit the goal with an irresistible shot from a half-circle in front of the penalty area, putting his team ahead 1-0.
Later on, Dynamo actively pressed the opponent, timely entering the fight for the ball and intercepting it, moving the game to the opponent's half of the field. Salenko struck a good shot from the bottom - the ball flew near the post. Several times the hosts threatened the Brewers' goal after a set-piece, but for some time Obolon did not make any defensive mistakes. Moreover, the opponents managed to make quite sharp attacks on the White and Blues' possession, but fortunately, goalkeeper Surkis and the defensive unit of our team did not fail.
The game was played under the dictation of our team, but there were no too dangerous moments at the end of the first half.
In the second half, the pattern of the game did not change - the main events took place in Obolon's half of the field, but in the final stages our players were a little unlucky. Many attempts were blocked by the opponent, and in some cases our players were let down by the execution, as, for example, when Yanchyshyn scored a header from deep in the box after a cross. Or when Matkevych's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, but Yanchyshyn's finish was inaccurate.
Meanwhile, at the opposite goal, Surkis had to help his team out, reacting to a mid-range shot. But the free kick from the right flank did not pose a threat - the ball flew over. Soon after, Pashko made a great run down the right flank, but goalkeeper Marchenko was able to react to his powerful shot, sending the ball out for a corner. Then Salenko earned a free kick, but after Kremchanin's shot, the ball was again in the goalkeeper's hands.
So, despite all Dynamo's attempts, the score did not change until the final whistle. Our team calmly brought the game to victory and finished the first part of the season in a good mood.
