The first half of this match went by in absolutely equal struggle and completely without scoring chances. However, in the 15th minute of the match, Yordanov came one-on-one with Morgun and sent the ball into the Dynamo goal, but the goal was disallowed — offside.
However, in the middle of the half, Yordanov managed to score within the rules — he responded to a cross from the left in Dynamo’s penalty area and sent the ball into the net with a header — 0:1.
After taking the lead, "Kishvarda" gained confidence, and the rest of the first half was mostly spent in Dynamo’s half of the field, but apart from several non-dangerous shots, the Hungarian team created nothing in attack during this segment of the match.
The second half of the reporting sparring also went on for a long time almost without chances. Yes, there was a one-on-one opportunity with goalkeeper Ponomarenko, but offside. Yes, there was a one-on-one with Morgun, but he confidently got to the ball first. But no more than that.
However, then within two minutes "Kishvarda" created two chances near Dynamo’s goal, one of which led to a goal. First, there was a very dangerous shot after a free-kick, after which the ball barely missed the post. And in the 71st minute of the match, Matanovich converted a penalty awarded for a foul by Ihnatenko — 0:2. The Dynamo team couldn’t turn the tide of the game in the remaining time of the match, and the score on the scoreboard remained unchanged until the final whistle.
Let’s add that Dynamo will hold its next sparring during the training camp in Austria tomorrow, July 6. Moreover, the opponent of the Kyiv team will again be Kishvarda.
