"Dynamo approached the 23rd round as the league leader, while the team from Cherkasy is a regular outsider in the championship, 7 points behind the penultimate place.
The home team dominated the pitch from the first minutes and scored quick goals. The score was opened after a corner in the 8th minute. Andriy Matkevych sent a cross from the corner flag from the left flank to the centre, to the goal line, where Taras Mikhavko jumped over everyone and sent the ball into the goal with a header, scoring his second goal of the season.
Two minutes later, Kyiv almost scored for the second time, but the LNZ defenders twice dived under the ball after shots from outside the penalty area, the last of which was made by Oleksiy Gusev. However, the second goal did not take long to come. In the 13th minute, Dynamo launched a sharp attack from the right flank, which was launched by Gusev and Kremchanin. The visitors took the ball out of the penalty area, but it fell to Kyrylo Osypenko, who was waiting near the penalty area and immediately sent the ball into the corner of the net - 2-0.
Despite the total advantage of the White and Blues, the next goal came after the break, when both teams made their first substitutions. In the fifth minute of the half, Dynamo launched a great vertical attack. After a pass from Bilyi, Gusev broke into the penalty area on the right flank, feinted to remove the defender, took the ball under his left foot and calmly sent it into the net - 3-0.
After another substitution in the 60th minute of the game, Vitaliy Lobko came on the pitch. Ten minutes later, he scored a goal, after receiving a pass from his partner, he threw the ball into his path with one touch and hit the goal with a left-footed shot into the far corner from the penalty area. A few minutes later, the visitors were left in the minority when LNZ goalkeeper Vadym Haidai played his hand outside the penalty area.
The demoralised visitors conceded two more goals, with two Dynamo players scoring a double each. First, Lobko scored his second goal of the match and seventh in the championship, picking up the ball in the opponent's penalty area and this time hitting the target with his right foot.
And Oleksiy Gusev put the game to bed, this time joining the attack on the left flank and shooting the ball into the net after a great pass from Kalyn. Having scored his seventh goal in the league, Gusev is now the most productive defender in the league.
With the victory, Ihor Kostiuk's team continues to lead the U-19 championship.
