On Tuesday, March 11, in the match of the 21st round of the Ukrainian championship, Kyiv’s "Dynamo" will meet at home with Luhansk "Zorya". Ahead of the teams' upcoming encounter, let’s take a look at the goal scorers’ schedule — the footballers from the current squads of the opponents who have scored in their direct confrontations or scored against each other while playing for other teams.
The "specialist" against "Zorya" in the Kyiv squad is Vitaliy Buyalsky, who has scored against the Luhansk club 7 times. His first goal against "Zorya" was scored on October 1, 2017, in a wild match that ended in a 4:4 draw. And so far, the last one was in the match of the first round, which took place in September last year, when the Dynamo players won 2:0.
Andriy Yarmolenko has scored against "Zorya" five times. Moreover, the first of these goals was dated back to the distant 2009/10 season. Andriy scored a double in a match that took place on April 3, 2010, at the "Avangard" stadium in Luhansk. The goal was defended by the current team coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi, while the current president of UAF Andriy Shevchenko played in the attack. The meeting ended with a victory for Kyiv with a score of 2:0.
Mykola Shaparenko and Vladyslav Vanat have both scored against "Zorya" twice, while Denys Popov, Volodymyr Brazhko, Vladyslav Kabayev, and Maksym Bragaru each have one goal in their tally.
It should be noted that Dynamo newcomer Valerii Luchkevych scored against "Zorya" twice — in the 2016/17 season when he played for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, as well as in the 2019/20 season as part of Oleksandriya.
Goals of current Dynamo players against Zorya:
7 — Buyalsky
5 — Yarmolenko
2 — Shaparenko, Vanat
1 — Syrota, Popov, Brazhko, Kabayev, Bragaru.
From the current Zorya squad, forward Pylyp Budkivskyi scored against Dynamo. This happened in the 2020/21 season when he played for Chernihiv's Desna. Also, midfielder Tymur Korablіn managed to upset the Kyiv goalkeeper in last season's match when he played for Mynai.
Denys Antyukh also scored against Dynamo, having joined Zorya from our club. In the 2020/21 season, he scored a goal against the Kyiv team while playing for Kolos, and it was his only goal that season in the Premier League.
In the 2019/20 season, Vladyslav Supryaha scored three times in one match against Dynamo, while he was defending the colors of Dnipro-1. Until recently, Supryaha played for Dynamo and at the beginning of the current season, he was loaned to Zorya.
Also, one time for Zorya, the Panamanian forward Eduardo Guerrero scored against Dynamo, who has been playing for Dynamo since the current season.
Additionally, current players of the "white-and-blues" Volodymyr Brazhko and Oleksandr Karavaiev have also scored against Dynamo from the Zorya squad.
