The first half of this match was clearly unsuccessful for \"Dynamo\". Already in the 3rd minute of the match, the Kyiv team conceded — Nadzhombe struck a shot from outside the penalty area, sending the ball accurately into the lower corner of the \"white-blues\"' goal — 0:1. Just nine minutes later, the score became 0:2. This time, Atik received a pass in the left part of Dynamo's penalty area, and with a technical strike, he lobbed Neshcheret and the ball ended up in the far corner of the goal — 0:2.
Further on, the game went on with alternating success for both teams, but in the 28th minute, \"Dynamo\" had a 100% chance to reduce the deficit: Shaparenko was fouled in the penalty area of \"Magdeburg\" and the referee unwaveringly awarded a penalty. The injured player approached the \"spot\", but his shot was a complete failure — the Dynamo midfielder struck the ball very weakly and straightforwardly, resulting in the \"Magdeburg\" goalkeeper not only saving his team but calmly catching the ball.
In the second half of the first half, \"Dynamo\" had a decent segment when Shovkovskyi's charges managed to pin the opponent to their goal, but a real danger at \"Magdeburg\"'s goal never materialized. As a result, the teams went into halftime with a score of 2:0 in favor of the German team.
\"Dynamo\" started the second half very actively, and in the 55th minute, after a corner kick and a backheel shot by Kabaev, the ball hit the crossbar of \"Magdeburg\"'s goal. Subsequently, the Kyiv team continued to play aggressively in attack and in the middle of the half, an impressive multi-pass play by \"Dynamo\" ended with a precise shot by Vanat from about 14 meters, but the \"Magdeburg\" goalkeeper managed to save his team. However, in the 71st minute, \"Dynamo\" was again maximally close to success for the second time in this match: another penalty, but it remained unconverted again. This time, the \"Magdeburg\" goalkeeper dealt with the shot from the \"spot\" executed by Bulytskyi.
As we approached the 75th minute, the game leveled out. This ended with the third goal against \"Dynamo\" — as a result of a shot by Hiyhone from a corner kick — 0:3. However, Kyiv managed to score a consolation goal. In the 87th minute of the match, Herych made a flank pass into \"Magdeburg\"'s penalty area, where Bulytskyi executed a spectacular shot over the goalkeeper — 1:3, and this was the final score of the match.
It should be added that their next sparring match during the training camp in Turkey, \"Dynamo\" will hold on the upcoming Sunday, January 12. This time, the opponent for the Kyiv team will be Bucharest's \"Steaua\".
