The Dynamo players started very actively, pressing the opponents with large groups on their half of the field from the very beginning of the game. The first moment near Zima's goal occurred already in the 3rd minute. The Kyiv team launched a counter-attack, Voloshyn crossed from the right side to the left for Vanat, who, due to a sliding tackle, missed the target as the ball flew past the left post. In the 16th minute, Voloshyn scored after a cross from Vivcharenko, but just before that, an offside was called on Kosti.
Soon after, the «white-blues» opened the scoring. Vanat broke clear of Zima, beat him, but ran too far behind the left post, so instead of shooting, he lifted his head and accurately passed to the 11-meter mark for Vitalii Buialskyi, who scored impeccably. 1:0. A few minutes later, the lead was doubled. Kabai struck strongly from the arc, the goalkeeper parried the ball into his right corner, but after that, a scramble occurred in the Romanian goal, and as a result, a precise back-heel shot by Vitalii Buialskyi made it 2:0. Soon, Kabai shot on goal from 13 meters after a cross from Tymchyk. The shot was not powerful, and the goalkeeper dealt with it.
After the break, Oleksandr Shovkovskyi did not change the lineup, only swapping the goalkeeper. Perhaps that’s why the Romanians started the second half more actively. From the Kyiv side, the only notable play in the debut of the half was a very unusual corner kick with a pass along the goal line. It was dangerous, but they couldn’t score. In the middle of the half, the entire lineup of «Dynamo» was finally changed, and it turned out that after that, the Ukrainians conceded a goal. David Mykulesku shot from the right corner of the penalty area, and the ball ricocheted off Dubinchak into the far corner of Neshcheret’s goal. 2:1. The Bucharest team’s attempts to equalize were unsuccessful. Moreover, the Kyivans conducted several dangerous counterattacks before the final whistle, and only haste in the concluding stage prevented them from converting at least one.
The next friendly for «Dynamo» will be played tomorrow, on Monday, January 13, against the Polish team «Widzew».
