"Dynamo took the advantage from the first minutes of the match, but it was of positional nature - Kyiv did not exert any special pressure on the Veres goal, not to mention the creation of chances, there were simply none.
Moreover, this state of affairs remained until the 40th minute, when Dynamo not only created an acute situation, but also converted it into a goal: Brazhko made a powerful shot from a free kick, Yushchyshyn reacted, but failed to fix the ball in his hands, released it in front of him, where Yarmolenko, who shot the guests' goal from a couple of metres, was the most diligent - 1:0. The teams went to the break with such a score.
"Dynamo had the advantage in the second half, but already on 55 minutes of the game almost missed: in Veres counterattack Dakhnovskiy went almost one-on-one with Buschan, struck from the penalty area and the Kyiv goalkeeper had to work hard to save his team. However, the Bilo-Syni did not delay with the answer: on a corner kick Veres fought back, but the ball was on the left flank of Buyalsky, who performed a diagonal pass to the goal and there Sirota, jumping above everyone, shot with his head exactly under the crossbar, and Yushchyshyn with great difficulty converted the corner.
"Dynamo continued to play an attacking game and on the 80th minute of the match managed to develop their success: Buyalsky gave a cutting pass to the right side of the penalty area of Veres to Voloshin, the latter played to the central zone, where Ponomarenko hit the ball under the crossbar with a shot from six metres - 2:0.
And four minutes later Dynamo scored the third goal - it was Ponomarekno who led Voloshin one-on-one with Yushchishin with a graceful pass, he got close to the goalkeeper, but did not get greedy and gave it to the left to Shepelev, who crossed the ball into the empty net - 3:0.
After this result, Dynamo scored 60 points, still occupies the second place in the championship standings and is four points behind the leading Shakhtar.
Dynamo will play their next match within the 27th round of the Ukrainian championship, when next Sunday, 5 May, they will host Kolos from Kovalivka at the Dynamo stadium named after Valeriy Lobanovskiy (kick-off - at 15:30).
