In the 62nd minute, after a shot from the right flank, Zakharkiv scored on goal, Surkis parried it into the post, from which the ball bounced into the field. Kryvoruchko grabbed the rebound, cleared Kotukha and scored from close range past our goalkeeper - 2-2.
And six minutes later, the guests were ahead again. After a free kick, Dynamo failed to knock the ball far, they launched a second-pace attack, and after a pass from the right flank, Kanaev, who was left unattended, scored from close range into the corner - 2: 3.
