"Pakhtakor"(starting line-up): 35. Pavlyuchenko, 15. Ortikboyev, 77. Saitov, 22. Adhamzoda, 55. Pazildinov, 2. Askarov, 6. Rakhmatullaev, 17. Khamdanov, 18. Saidnurullaev, 11. Khoidorkonov, 10. Cheran.
The game started with attacks of the "white-blue", who obviously wanted to please the fans with a good result after two unsuccessful starting matches. Not surprisingly, with such an active game in attack, our team managed to open the scoring quite quickly: on 11 minutes Vanat broke into the opponent's penalty area and was knocked down by a Pakhtakor defender - an obvious penalty. The forward himself realised a shot from the spot, hitting a low shot into the left corner of the goal - 1:0.
Maksim Shatskikh's charges tried to respond with their own moments, but except for overhead passes into the penalty area, which were confidently intercepted by Nesheret, they had almost nothing else. A few minutes later Kyivians could double their advantage in the score: after another pass by Vanat on the right flank, a pass to the centre of the penalty area to Shaparenko followed, but Mykola unsuccessfully handled the ball and the moment was eventually lost.
Nevertheless, near the end of the first half Dynamo managed to score the second goal. And again Vanat, perhaps the best player in Oleksandr Shovkovskiy's team in the first half, played perfectly. Vladislav, having received a pass from Voloshin on the flank, shot low into the corner of Pakhtakor's goal - 2:0.
However, all the main events in the first half did not end there. On 41 minutes our opponents managed to score one goal thanks to individual actions of defender Adhamzoda, who shot into the far corner after shifting from the left flank to the centre - 2:1. But just three minutes later, the Bilo-Syni struck again at Pakhtakor's goal, this time through the Voloshin-Benito link-up. The Nigerian managed to one-touch close his partner's pass from the goalkeeper's line - 3:1!
It is pleasant to note that after the break Dynamo continued to keep quite a high pace, which allowed our team to bring the score to a smashing one. Kabaev shot from the right flank to the centre of the penalty area, from where Tsarenko shot accurately - 4:1.
And even after the fourth goal, our team did not sit back in defence. Brazhko and Karavaev could also score, but their long-range shots were parried by the Pakhtakor goalkeeper. As for the guests' attacks, in the second half they tried to create difficulties for Dynamo players at the expense of standard positions, but all of them were "read" by Kyiv.
The final point in the match was set by Vladimir Brazhko, who managed to shoot accurately from a free kick on 82nd minute - 5:1! As a result, the Bilo-Syni got a deserved victory - the first at the current training camp in Turkey. Frankly speaking, in addition to the result, the Ukrainian club was pleased with the game itself, especially after the two starting games.
Let us remind you that Dynamo will play their next control match at the training camp in Turkey on the 2nd of February. The opponent of Oleksandr Shovkovskiy's team will be Levski Sofia. The kick-off time will be announced later.
