The match started with a cold shower for Dynamo: already on the 44th second of the match Karpaty opened the score. Pidlepenets shot from the right into Kyiv's penalty area, where Ocheretko, who was absolutely unguarded at that moment, calmly shot the ball into Buschan's goal - 1:0.
"Dynamo" immediately "snapped back" with a good long-range shot of Andriyevsky, but it was a little inaccurate. Soon Pikhalenok shot even more dangerously - this time the ball almost hit the crossbar of Karpaty's goal near the "nine".
But in the 23rd minute of the match nothing prevented Dynamo from equalizing the score: Pikhalenok shot from 20 meters, and the ball after a small ricochet flew under the crossbar of the Lviv team's goal - 1:1.
After that, Dynamo took full advantage, and Karpaty seemed to lose heart. However, such a change of disposition did not lead to dangerous moments at the gates of Lvivians. As a result, the teams went into the break with the score 1:1 on the scoreboard.
But in the first half of the second half Dynamo still took the lead: on the 58th minute Shaparenko with a cutting pass to the right side of the opponent's penalty area brought Vanat one-on-one with Kemkin, and the Kyiv forward sent the ball into the net with a cold-blooded shot - 1:2.
However, in the 69th minute of the game Karpaty had a super-moment - it was Zanetti who shot unhindered from the goalkeeper's line, and Dynamo was saved by Buschan, who kicked the ball away.
Later on, Karpaty managed to seize the advantage and created some tension near Dynamo's penalty area. Moreover, in the 81st minute Ustimenko sent the ball into the gates of Kyiv, but he was offside, and the goal was not counted. A few minutes later, Dynamo could clear all the questions, but Yarmolenko failed to realize a one-on-one with the Karpaty goalkeeper. However, in the 90th minute the guests developed their success: Kemkin fouled Yarmolenko in the penalty area of Karpaty and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, which the victim himself clearly realized - 1:3, that was the result of this meeting.
Dynamo's match in the next round, against Poltava Vorskla, has been postponed due to the participation of the capital team in the Champions League qualification. The match of Kyivians in the fifth round of the championship will be held on schedule: on September 1, the Bilo-Syni will host Cherkasy LNZ on their field (kick-off at 15:30).
