From the first minutes, the "white-blues" took the initiative and began to systematically pick the locks to the guests' goal. The first major chance came for Dynamo in the 20th minute, given to them by the Odesa team. After a poorly executed back pass by the opponents, Dmytro Kremchanyn intercepted the ball and had a clear one-on-one chance against the «Chornomorets» goalkeeper, but couldn’t beat him.
However, Dmytro quickly opened the scoring in the match. Ivan Andreiko on the left flank passed the ball to Volodymyr Ozimay, who, on his second attempt, delivered a half-cross into the penalty area. Ponomarenko missed the ball, but unexpectedly for everyone, Kremchanyn arrived at the far post and struck with his left foot to score.
After opening the scoring, the Dynamos continued to create chances near the guests' goal. Andreiko had several good opportunities, later Salenko broke into the goal from the right flank, but his shot was parried by the goalkeeper. Andreiko did the same, shifting from his left flank to the center — however, the keeper saved his attempt as well.
But already in the stoppage time of the first half, the dynamos translated their undeniable advantage into a second goal. Matviy Ponomarenko received a pass from Davyd Bilyi at the edge of the penalty area, pushed the ball under his shot, and found the near bottom corner — 2:0.
After the break, the Kyiv team continued to maintain the initiative. In the 62nd minute, the score could have become devastating when, after a Kremchanyn cross from the corner, Ozimay directed a header towards the corner of the goal, but hit the post.
In the 80th minute, Andriy Matkevych had a great opportunity, as he shot the goal from 11 meters after a pass from Vladyslav Herych, but couldn’t beat the goalkeeper. Just two minutes later, Kyiv finally scored the third goal: Oleksandr Shevchenko successfully followed up after the goalkeeper's save.
This goal was the last in the match. The dynamos remain in second place in the championship and are preparing for a game against the team “KF 2 Koriku” in Stalowa Wola within the second round of the UEFA Youth League.
