On Wednesday, 17 April, the postponed match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian championship, in which Minai and Dynamo Kyiv met, was finished. The match was nominally home for the Transcarpathian team, but by agreement between the clubs was held in Kyiv at the stadium "Dynamo" named after Valeriy Lobanovskiy.
Recall, this meeting began back on 3 December in Minai, but because of the air raid the teams managed to play only one minute. Later, a decision was made to postpone the match due to the fact that there is no artificial lighting at the Minai stadium.

"Dynamo started this match without hesitation, and already on the 5th minute of the match opened the score: Buyalsky in the central zone played into the penalty area of "Minaya" to Vanat, received a return pass from him and sent the ball into the bottom corner of the goal of the Transcarpathian team - 0:1.
Having achieved success, Dynamo continued to attack with spirit, not letting Minay out of its half of the field. Andriyevsky (twice) and Voloshyn shot dangerously, but these shots lacked accuracy. Nevertheless, the Zakarpattia goal was under immense pressure. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the 28th minute the score doubled. Buyalskiy made an excellent pass to Yarmolenko in the right side of the penalty area "Minaya", he shot to the near post, where Nemchaninov in an attempt to intercept the ball sliced it into his own net - 0:2.
The remaining part of the first half also passed under the sign of full advantage of Dynamo, but the score did not change before the break. However, Kyivians had no clear chances for that.
It seemed that the result of the first half removed all questions about the intrigue in this match, but "Minai" changed this perception already in the very beginning of the second half: on the 48th minute of the match Vakula gave a cross pass along the line of the penalty area, where Korablin sent the ball into the "nine" of Dynamo gates with a spectacular shot - 1:2. Moreover, six minutes later Vitenchuk finished the counterattack of the Zakarpattia team with a shot from the corner of the penalty area, and the ball flew near the near post.
However, the change of the scoreboard did not affect the overall pattern at first: Dynamo, as in the first half, had full advantage. Shaparenko and Popov (after a corner kick) shot dangerously from outside the penalty area: in the first case the ball almost hit the bar, in the second - the crossbar.
However, we must admit that "Minai" much better than before the break, managed to cling to the ball and counterattack. And closer to the middle of the second half there was no talk about Dynamo's clear game superiority. And on the 71st minute of the match Ljubenovic's team so dashingly served a corner kick that Buschan really saved Dinamo from the second goal when he kicked the ball after a shot from seven metres. Then Ustimenko shot from the right side of the penalty area into the near corner, and again the Bilo-Syni goalkeeper had to work hard. Dynamo responded to all this with Vanata, who took the game on himself, broke into the penalty area, shot into the near corner and hit the bar.
And still Kyivians managed to consolidate their success: in the 86th minute of the match Dubinchak shot from the left flank and on the far post Voloshyn sent the ball into the net - 1:3.
After this result, Dynamo scored 51 points, still occupying the second place in the championship standings, trailing Shakhtar by one point, but the Pitmen have played one less match.
Dynamo will play their next match within the 25th round of the Ukrainian championship - at home against Polesya Zhytomyr. This meeting will be held next Sunday, 21 April, in Kyiv at the stadium "Dynamo" named after Valeriy Lobanovskiy (kick-off - at 18:00).
